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.
