Permanent and Sharper Facial Features with Bichectomy
Permanent and Sharp Facial Features with Bichectomy (Hollywood Cheek)
No matter how much weight you lose, can you not get rid of that plump and round expression on your face? Do you constantly feel the need to hide your cheeks in photos? If your answer is yes, it may be time to say goodbye to your genetic heritage, the "Bichat" fat pads.
As Op. Dr. Buğçe Ballıoğlu Clinic, we provide your face with the elegant "V" form it deserves with the Bichectomy surgery, also known as "Hollywood Cheek", which has been the most popular facial slimming operation in recent years.
What is Bichectomy?
Deep within our cheeks, there are stubborn fat pads (Bichat fat pads) that persist independently of weight gain or loss. These fats make the face appear square or round. Bichectomy is the procedure of surgically removing these excess fats to reveal the attractive hollow beneath the cheekbones.
Does it Leave a Scar? How is the Recovery Process?
The biggest advantage of Bichectomy surgery is that it is performed entirely inside the mouth. The fat is removed through a tiny 1 cm incision made inside your cheek. When viewed from the outside, no stitches or surgical scars are visible.
- The procedure takes approximately 30-45 minutes under local anesthesia.
- You can be discharged on the same day.
- Your social life is not affected, except for mild edema that may last for a few days.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes. Fat cells removed during adulthood are not regenerated by the body. Therefore, the sharp and triangular facial line achieved with Bichectomy is permanent for a lifetime.
You can book an appointment at our clinic to get rid of that "baby-face" roundness and achieve more feminine and characteristic features.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person. It is recommended to get a detailed consultation from your physician before the procedure.
