Bichectomy: Define Your Cheekbones for a Sculpted Look
Overview
Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the cheeks to create a more contoured and defined facial appearance. This surgery is ideal for individuals seeking a slimmer, more sculpted look by reducing the fullness of their cheeks. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Traditional Bichectomy: Involves making small incisions inside the mouth to remove the buccal fat pads. This approach leaves no visible scars and offers a straightforward recovery process.
- Combined Bichectomy: Buccal fat removal can be combined with other facial contouring procedures, such as chin liposuction or a facelift, for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and enhanced results.
Benefits:
