About Bichectomy
Do you want to define your face and highlight your best features? Bichectomy surgery may be the solution you are looking for. This minimally invasive surgical procedure focuses on reducing the size of fat pockets in the cheeks, known as Bichat’s pockets, to achieve a more sculpted and streamlined facial appearance.
Surgery procedure
1. Initial Evaluation
The process begins with an initial consultation with the plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the patient’s goals are discussed and it is evaluated whether he is a good candidate for bichectomy.
2. Preoperative Evaluation
Before surgery, medical tests may be performed and instructions are given on how to prepare, such as quitting smoking or stopping certain medications.
3. Patient preparation
Facial marking is carried out to delimit the area to be worked on.
4. Anesthesia
We use local anesthesia and/or sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety during the procedure.
5. Surgical procedure
Once the patient is anesthetized, the surgeon makes small incisions on the inside of the cheeks, usually near where the gums are.
Through these incisions, the surgeon carefully locates and removes Bichat’s fat pockets. This is done with precise surgical instruments.
6. Recovery
After the surgical procedure, you are moved to the recovery area. Subsequently, after approximately 2 hours, the patient is discharged.
7. Postoperative follow-up
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the progress of recovery and ensure there are no complications.
What to expect?
Expected result that can begin to be noticed in 2 to 4 weeks.
