Bichectomy
Even during 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 the cheek contours forms a striking facial silhouette. Unfortunately, not every woman is blessed with prominent facial features. Minor saggy cheeks or a fuller, rounder face shape are increasingly perceived as aesthetically disturbing. The problem: despite a healthy diet and a vital lifestyle, excessive and often genetically determined cheek fat is very difficult to reduce.
This is where a bichectomy can help. An excessive accumulation of fat in the cheeks is removed during an aesthetic procedure and promises Hollywood cheeks à la Bella Hadid as a result. This cosmetic surgery is also gaining increasing popularity at the Medicana International Hospital Zincirlikuyu in Istanbul. The procedure is performed by our partner specialists using a minimally invasive technique inside the mouth, leaving no traces on the cheeks.

What does the fat removal from the cheeks mean and how does it work?
The natural structure of the cheeks initially features small buccal fat pads. However, as we age, these fat pads increase and the face becomes characterized by a rounded appearance. Bichectomy, the procedure for slimming the cheeks, targets precisely these buccal fat pads. The goal is to sculpt a harmonious V-shape and highlight the cheekbones. This procedure has established itself in plastic-aesthetic surgery as the gold standard for facial rejuvenation and slimming.
The surgeons at Medistate International Hospital in Istanbul will analyze the status quo together with you. The fat removal focuses on the buccal fat pads in the cheek. Through small incisions on the inside of the mouth, excess fat accumulations are removed from the inner cheeks. The local cheek fat pads are partially removed. The wound is then cared for and the small intraoral incisions are sutured 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.
