Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)
Bichectomy, also called buccal fat removal or cheek reduction surgery, is the removal of excess fat from the cheeks to strengthen the cheekbones and balance the facial proportions.
What is Bichectomy Surgery?
Removing excess fat from the cheeks to enlarge the cheekbones and make the facial features more proportional is called bichectomy. In other words, the main purpose of the bichectomy surgery (Buccal Fat Extraction)is to give you a new look on your face.
In order to give the face a more attractive and appropriate appearance, fat is removed from the mouth and the full and plump appearance of the patient is corrected. This technique accentuates the cheekbones, making the face appear slimmer, giving it a slim and youthful appearance.

Bichectomy Operation in Turkey
First of all, bichectomy is a simple aesthetic-functional treatment.
And your surgeon will most likely ask you to stop taking certain medications before the operation. These include blood-thinning medications such as aspirin. If you smoke, you will need to quit four weeks before surgery.
Buccal fat reduction is an outpatient surgical treatment usually performed under local anesthesia if not combined with other cosmetic surgeries. It only takes a few minutes to complete. The operation discomfort is minor and recovery is fast and simple. However, you will be limited to soft meals for a while after the surgery. Generally, bruising is rare and minimal.
Cheek aesthetic results are permanent; however, your overall face may change as you continue to age or as a result of gaining and losing excess weight.

Bichectomy Recovery Process
Post-operative recovery does not take long. Bichectomy operation is a simple surgical procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis.
Patients can return to their homes on the same day. The operation takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete, but when combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a facelift, brow lift, the entire surgical time can be significantly extended.
Many patients feel well enough to return to work the next day. You may want to rest shortly after surgery, but you will feel better the next day. There may be some swelling and bruising, but the bruising is usually mild.
Full recovery usually takes seven to ten days after removal of the cheek fat pad of tissues inside the mouth. As a result, a patient may need to follow a soft or semi-liquid diet for the first few days after surgery.
The full results of your surgery will not be seen until the swelling subsides. It usually takes 4-6 weeks to see the full result.
Since the incision is made inside the cheek, there will be no visible incision or scar during or after the healing period.
