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

  1. 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.
  2. 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:

  • More defined and sculpted cheekbones
  • Reduced facial fullness for a slimmer appearance
  • Enhanced facial harmony and aesthetics
  • Minimally invasive with no visible scarring
  • Long-lasting results with proper care

Risks:

  • Infection or bleeding
  • Swelling and bruising
  • Asymmetry or uneven results
  • Changes in skin sensation or numbness
  • Overcorrection or undercorrection of cheek fullness

Our expert surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, although complete healing may take several weeks.
  • Pain Management: Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding oral hygiene, eating soft foods, and avoiding strenuous activities to promote healing.
  • Follow-Up Care: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal results. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines for care and maintenance.
