Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy): Procedure, Benefits, and Recovery
Bichectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove the buccal fat pads, which are fat deposits located in the cheeks. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a more defined and less rounded facial appearance.
The bichectomy procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia may be used in some cases. During the bichectomy, small incisions are made inside the mouth to access the buccal fat pads. Once located, the excess fat is removed. The benefit of bichectomy is that it does not leave visible scars since the incisions are made within the oral cavity.
The bichectomy procedure usually lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. After surgery, patients may experience some swelling and minor discomfort, which generally subsides within a few days. Recovery from bichectomy is quick, and most patients can resume normal activities within a week.
It is crucial to follow post-operative instructions to ensure optimal recovery and satisfactory results. If you are considering bichectomy, consult with a certified plastic surgeon to discuss your expectations and determine if this procedure is right for you.
After surgery, it is recommended that the patient rests for 48 hours, comply in detail with the doctor’s recommendations and go to his control appointment after the rest time. You can resume your normal work after a couple of days, likewise you must comply with a soft diet the first week and resume physical activities gradually after a week. You should not be exposed to the sun during the first month since it could be a factor that could affect the results, which begin to be evident after the first month.
The ideal candidate for bichectomy is a healthy person, non-smoker or willing to quit smoking at least a few weeks before and after surgery so as not to interfere with healing. Patients with a rounded face, with “chipmunk cheeks” or “big cheeks”, who want to define the facial contour.
