Bichectomy
Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a procedure employed when excess fat accumulates in the cheek and corner areas of the face. By eliminating these fat deposits, it results in a more prominent and defined facial appearance, creating a reverse triangle shape.

Bichectomy procedure does not typically leave any noticeable surgical scars. During this process, the fat pads on both sides of the cheeks are removed, and precise incisions are made in suitable locations, leading to a longer and more slender facial appearance.
Why Choose Bichectomy?
Both men and women can opt for bichectomy, which is often referred to as cheek slimming surgery. It is generally considered a suitable procedure for individuals over the age of 25 because people in this age group often have facial features and cheek shapes that have settled over time. Following a bichectomy, the patient's face exhibits sharp lines in a reverse triangle shape, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a more attractive appearance.
Eligibility for Bichectomy
Men and women over the age of 18 can benefit from bichectomy. However, this surgery is not recommended for overweight individuals, children, and those over the age of 45. Your doctor will ask you specific questions and may request some tests to determine if you are a good candidate for a bichectomy.

How Is Bichectomy Performed?
During a bichectomy, there are no visible surgical scars on the face. This surgical procedure, which takes place within the oral cavity, involves making incisions at necessary points to remove the fat pads on both sides of the cheeks. This results in a face that appears thinner and longer. Bichectomy is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes approximately 45-50 minutes. Patients can return home on the same day as outpatient treatment.
Post-Bichectomy Facial Appearance
After a bichectomy, the face acquires an attractive appearance and looks slimmer than before. Additionally, the skin tightens, and a reduction in wrinkles is observed. Bichectomy stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, increasing blood circulation in the face and promoting hyaluronic acid formation.
Is Bichectomy Permanent?
Bichectomy is a permanent procedure. What distinguishes it from fillers is that it offers long-lasting results. Full recovery typically occurs within 3-6 months after the procedure, and the face reaches its optimal appearance.
