Bichectomy

Bichectomy

Even in the time of the Egyptian queens, it was known that defined facial features make the face look youthful and attractive. Even today, a visible 'jawline' combined with contoured cheeks creates a striking facial silhouette. Unfortunately, not every woman is blessed with pronounced facial features. Small chubby cheeks or a fuller, rounder face shape are increasingly perceived as aesthetically bothersome.

The problem: Despite a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, excessive and often genetically predisposed cheek fat can be notoriously difficult to reduce.

This is where bichectomy comes in. Excess fat in the cheeks is removed during an aesthetic procedure, promising the ultimate Hollywood cheeks à la Bella Hadid. This cosmetic surgery is gaining immense popularity at Medicana International Hospital Zincirlikuyu in Istanbul. The procedure is carried out by our specialists using a minimally invasive technique from inside the mouth and leaves no visible scars on the cheeks.

What does the fat removal from the cheeks mean and how does it work?

The natural structure of the cheeks initially exhibits small buccal fat pads. However, with increasing age, these fat pads increase, and the face is characterized by a round appearance. Buccal lipectomy, or the procedure for thinning the cheeks, specifically targets these buccal fat pads. The goal is to model a harmonious V-shape and highlight the cheekbones. This procedure has established itself in plastic aesthetic surgery as the royal road to facial rejuvenation and thinning.

The surgeons at Medicana International Hospital Zincirlikuyu in Istanbul will analyze the status quo together with you. The focus of the fat removal is on the buccal fat pads in the cheeks. Excess fat accumulations from the inner sides of the cheeks are removed through small incisions inside the mouth. The local cheek fat bodies are partially excised. Subsequently, the wound is treated and the small intraoral incisions are stitched with absorbable threads. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Its complication rate is very low.

How does the recovery proceed after this procedure?

Depending on the technique used and the patient's overall skin structure, the healing processes can vary. The final result of this procedure can take several weeks. Since the results of buccal fat removal are permanent, the decision for this surgery should be carefully planned. Your contact persons at BeautyTravels 24 will provide you with detailed information about the entire process. Although the recovery process for this procedure is shorter than for other surgical interventions, a sufficient amount of time should be planned.
