Bichectomy
Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim the cheeks by removing excess fat from the buccal pads, which are located in the lower part of the cheeks. This surgery is ideal for individuals who desire a more defined facial contour and a less round or chubby appearance. By reducing the fullness in the lower cheeks, bichectomy can enhance the prominence of the cheekbones and create a more sculpted, refined look.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation and usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Recovery time is relatively short, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a few days. There may be some swelling and discomfort initially, but these symptoms generally subside within a week. Bichectomy offers long-lasting results, helping individuals achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.
