2.- What is Bichectomy?

Bichectomy, sometimes called Cheektomy, is the esthetic removal of Bichat’s Balls, the accumulation of fat that is present in the cheeks which go from under the eyes to the jaw and the edges of the mouth.

Doctors recommend Bichectomy for patients who have chubby cheeks and helps to achieve a more chiseled V shape contour, one of the favorite procedures of medicine for beautiful results and face contour.

The goal is slimming the lower face, in the lower anterior cheek region.

3.- Can Bichectomy cause side effects?

No, there’s no collateral effects from Bichectomy. These balls are just fatty tissue and do not have a biological function.
For a long time, many people incorrectly assumed that fatty cheeks were a sign of having good health.

Nowadays, scientists know that having fat in the face has nothing to do with a healthy diet, and it’s just a genetic issue.

The Bichat Balls don’t have connections to any muscle or nerve in the face. It’s just fat.

4.- How do they do the extraction?

It’s like going to the dentist.

The surgeon numbs you with local anesthesia and sedation, and you don’t feel any pain and will be relaxed.

They do the incision inside of the mouth, so there will be no marks or scars outside of your face.

The doctor performs a fat extraction with a cut of 5 millimeters below the cheekbone or zygomatic bone.

It is considered minor surgery, with no risks, although the results are dramatic, as it completely transforms the patient’s profile.

5.- When you’ll see the results?

Remember that each patient is different, and the times may vary, but as a general rule, you will see complete results in about six months.

The procedure lasts between 15 and 20 minutes, from the time from when the doctor applies local anesthesia until finishing the suture.

You can have pain and swelling for 24 to 48 hours, and you may need mild painkillers or the application of ice for swelling.

You’ll see the final results up to four or six months later when the cheek tissues have finished rearranging themselves after the operation.

6.- Who is a candidate for Bichectomy?

The candidates for this surgery are people over 18 years old, with a rounded face, with excess fat tissue in the cheek area.

It’s an aesthetic option to improve the appearance of the face, highlighting the cheekbones and giving a younger and thinner appearance.

Any dental treatment should be completed before the procedure to avoid possible infections.

Avoid the use of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs for reducing risks during the procedure.
