Bichectomy

Bichectomy, also known as cheek reduction, is a surgical procedure that involves removing the Bichat fat pads from the cheeks to enhance the facial contour and achieve a more defined appearance. This quick and minimally invasive procedure takes approximately 40 minutes and leaves no visible scars.

Ideal candidates for Bichectomy are people with round faces who want to improve their facial features. It is especially beneficial for those who are thin but still have full-looking faces.

Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure requires only 24 hours of rest, and most patients can return to their regular activities the next day. It is an effective way to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted look, and it can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance the face’s overall appearance.
