What is a Bichectomy? Aesthetic Procedure That Reshapes Your Face
Bichectomy is a plastic surgery procedure that allows facial contours to be made sharper and more defined by removing excess fat tissue in the cheeks. This procedure is especially preferred for individuals with rounded facial features and gives the face a longer and more aesthetic appearance. Bichectomy surgery gives a mature and sophisticated appearance to the facial expression of the person by clarifying the facial contours.
How is a bichectomy performed?
Bichectomy surgery is performed under local anesthesia by making a small incision on the inside of the cheeks and removing excess fat tissue. This surgical procedure takes an average of 30 to 60 minutes and leaves no external scarring. Since the incisions are made inside the mouth, the scars are invisible and offer a fast healing process.
Bichectomy Stages:
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or light sedation is applied if necessary.
Making the Incisions: Small incisions are made on the inside of the cheeks.
Removal of Fat Tissues: Excess fat tissues are carefully removed.
Closure: The incisions are carefully closed, leaving no external scars.
In which cases is a bichectomy necessary?
Bichectomy is usually performed for people who want to sharpen their facial features. Excessive fullness in the cheeks or round facial features can cause discomfort in individuals who want to achieve a more aesthetically mature and attractive appearance. With this procedure, facial features become more prominent and the facial expression of the person becomes more balanced and symmetrical.
Who is Suitable for Bichectomy?
Those with Round Face Shape: Those who complain that their cheeks are too full.
Those with Cheek Fullness: Cheek fullness that increases naturally or with aging.
Those who want an aesthetic appearance: Men and women who want to sharpen their facial features and achieve a more defined appearance.
What are the Benefits of Bichectomy?
Bichectomy offers permanent results that contribute to aesthetic appearance as well as sharpening facial contours. Bichectomy surgery provides sharper facial features and an aesthetic appearance with fat tissue removed from the cheeks.
Main Benefits of Bichectomy:
Sharper Facial Contours: By reducing the fullness in the cheeks, the face becomes longer and more defined.
Improvement of Facial Contour: Facial features appear more balanced and symmetrical.
Permanent Results: Once removed, the fat tissue does not grow back, which ensures long-lasting results.
Minimal Scarring: Since the incisions are made inside the mouth, there is no visible scar on the outside.
