Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal Surgery)

Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to create sharper, more defined cheek contours by removing excess fat from the cheek area. This procedure is popular among both women and men who desire a slimmer, more sculpted facial appearance.

Bichectomy is often performed on its own or in combination with other facial procedures, such as a facelift, to enhance overall facial harmony and achieve more balanced, long-lasting results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Bichectomy?

In some individuals, excess fatty tissue develops in the cheeks more than normal, even in people with slim body types. This cheek fat is:

• Often genetically inherited

• Resistant to diet and exercise

• Responsible for a round or “apple-shaped” face

By removing this stubborn fat tissue, bichectomy helps achieve:

• A thinner facial profile

• More defined cheekbones

• Clearer and sharper facial lines

Preoperative Considerations

As with all surgical procedures, certain precautions are necessary before bichectomy surgery:

• Aspirin and smoking should be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to surgery

• Blood-thinning medications and supplements must be stopped during the final week before the operation, following your surgeon’s instructions
