Bichectomy surgery, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of Bichat's fat pads from the cheeks. These fat pads are located in the lower cheek area and provide fullness to the cheeks. The surgery is popular among individuals who desire a more defined cheekbone structure or a slimmer facial appearance.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the surgeon's recommendations. During the surgery, small incisions are made on the inside of the cheeks, and the Bichat's fat pads are removed. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable stitches and covered with sterile dressings.
Recovery time for bichectomy surgery varies, but patients can typically return to work within a few days to a week after the procedure. It is advised to avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least two weeks after the surgery to allow the cheeks to heal properly. Additionally, patients are advised to follow a soft food diet for a few days after the procedure to minimize discomfort.
While bichectomy surgery is generally considered safe, there are potential risks associated with any surgery, such as bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to fully discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure.
