What is Bichectomy?
Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size of the buccal fat pads located in the cheeks. The procedure helps to create a slimmer and more sculpted appearance by removing excess fat from the lower cheeks.
Types of Bichectomy:
1. Traditional Bichectomy: In this technique, a small incision is made inside the mouth, allowing the surgeon to access the buccal fat pads. The excess fat is carefully removed, and the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
2. Minimal Invasive Bichectomy: This technique utilizes specialized instruments to perform bichectomy with smaller incisions. It offers the advantage of reduced scarring, faster recovery, and minimal post-operative discomfort.
Before the Operation:
Prior to bichectomy, patients will have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the patient’s facial structure, discuss their goals and expectations, and determine the appropriate approach for the procedure. It is important to disclose any medical conditions and medications during this consultation.
During the Operation:
Bichectomy is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions inside the mouth and carefully remove the excess buccal fat. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.
After the Operation:
Following bichectomy, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon, which may include taking prescribed medication, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling, and maintaining a soft diet during the initial recovery period. Most patients can resume their regular activities within a week.
