Advanced Facial Slimming for Sharper Cheekbones, Refined Contours & Lasting Confidence
Bichectomy, also known as Buccal Fat Removal, is a cosmetic facial procedure designed to slim the cheeks and enhance natural facial definition. Patients choose Bichectomy to achieve a more sculpted appearance, highlight cheekbones, and reduce a round or chubby facial look. This minimally invasive procedure focuses on balance and harmony rather than dramatic change. Bichectomy is ideal for individuals seeking subtle yet impactful facial refinement.
🩺 What Is Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal)?
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes the Bichat fat pads located deep within the cheeks. These fat pads are responsible for a fuller or rounder facial appearance, even in individuals with low overall body fat.
During the procedure, a small incision is made inside the mouth to access the buccal fat pad. The surgeon carefully removes only the necessary amount of fat to maintain natural proportions and avoid an overly hollow look. Because the incision is internal, there are no visible external scars.
Bichectomy is designed to enhance facial structure rather than alter facial identity. It brings emphasis to the cheekbones and jawline while preserving balance between facial features. The results become more noticeable as swelling subsides.
🩺 Types of Bichectomy
- Standard Bichectomy – Removes buccal fat pads to slim the mid-face and enhance cheekbone definition.
- Partial Buccal Fat Removal – Extracts a conservative amount of fat for subtle facial refinement.
- Bichectomy with Facial Contouring – Combined with other facial procedures for enhanced harmony.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
Bichectomy is suitable for individuals seeking facial slimming and improved cheek definition. It is best for patients with fuller cheeks and stable facial proportions.
✔️ Individuals with naturally chubby or round cheeks
✔️ Patients seeking sharper cheekbone definition
✔️ People with balanced facial features but disproportionate cheek fullness
✔️ Individuals desiring subtle, natural facial enhancement
✔️ Patients with stable body weight
✔️ Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking
✔️ Individuals in good overall physical health
✔️ Patients without uncontrolled medical conditions
✔️ Adults with fully developed facial structure
✔️ Individuals with realistic expectations about outcomes
📝 Consultation & Preparation
Consultation and preparation ensure proper facial assessment and safe outcomes. This phase focuses on understanding facial anatomy, expectations, and procedural planning.
✔️ Detailed facial structure and proportion assessment
✔️ Review of medical history and medications
✔️ Evaluation of cheek fat volume and symmetry
✔️ Discussion of expected aesthetic outcomes
✔️ Confirmation of suitability for buccal fat removal
✔️ Instructions to stop smoking before the procedure
✔️ Guidance on avoiding blood-thinning medications
✔️ Pre-procedure oral hygiene instructions
✔️ Explanation of recovery timeline
✔️ Final confirmation of treatment plan
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery after Bichectomy is generally quick and well tolerated. Proper aftercare supports healing and ensures refined results.
✔️ Mild swelling and tightness in the cheeks initially
✔️ Use of prescribed medications as directed
✔️ Maintaining proper oral hygiene
✔️ Avoiding strenuous activity during early recovery
✔️ Following dietary guidelines if advised
✔️ Avoiding pressure on the cheeks
✔️ Monitoring healing inside the mouth
