Bichectomy

What is Bichectomy?

Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that reduces the volume of the buccal fat pads located in the lower cheeks.
The result is a slimmer, more contoured facial appearance with enhanced cheekbone definition and a sharper jawline.

This procedure is ideal for those who have full, rounded cheeks ("baby face") and want to achieve a more angular, sculpted look — without changing the underlying bone structure.

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for Bichectomy if:

✔ You feel your cheeks are too full or rounded
✔ You desire a more contoured facial profile
✔ You are at a stable weight and in good general health
✔ You have realistic expectations about the outcome
✔ You are not overweight, as facial fullness due to general weight may not benefit from this procedure alone

Patients with naturally slim faces may be discouraged from this procedure, as it may lead to a hollowed or aged appearance over time.

How is Bichectomy Performed?

Anesthesia: Local or sedation

Procedure time: 30–45 minutes

Technique: A small incision is made inside the cheek (no external scars). The buccal fat pad is gently extracted in a controlled amount and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures.

It is performed as a day surgery, meaning patients can go home the same day.

What is the Recovery Like?

🕒 Days 1–3: Mild swelling, tenderness, and discomfort
🕒Week 1: Most swelling subsides, and incisions heal inside the mouth
🕒 Week 2–3: Subtle facial contouring begins to show
🕒 Months 1–3: Final results settle in with full facial refinement

Patients are advised to follow a soft-food diet for a few days and maintain oral hygiene to avoid infection.

Benefits of Bichectomy

✅ Slimmer and more angular cheeks
✅ Enhanced cheekbone and jawline definition
✅ No visible scars (intraoral incision)
✅ Short procedure with minimal downtime
✅ Long-lasting and natural-looking results

Is Bichectomy Permanent?

Yes — once removed, buccal fat does not grow back.
However, major weight fluctuations or aging can affect the long-term appearance. That’s why ideal candidates are adults with stable facial structure and weight.
