In the form of an aesthetic face, a thin face and prominent cheekbones are generally desired. Especially in women, excess fat can be found in the cheek area, usually at a young age. The presence of excess fat tissue in the cheek area both makes the person look heavier than they are and makes the cheekbones look weaker than they are. The excess amount of fat on the cheeks causes rounded and indistinct facial features and creates a shape that disrupts the golden ratio and harmony of the face. Excess fat tissue in the cheek causes premature sagging in the cheek area in advanced ages. At this stage, bichectomy surgery comes into play.
Bichectomy surgery can be performed under local anesthesia and is a very short operation.Excess fat on the cheeks is removed through tiny incisions made inside the mouth.Since it is an oral surgery, there is no scarring.The patient can be discharged a few hours after the operation.Some edema and swelling may occur after bichectomy surgery.However, these swellings are not at a level that affects the life of the patient.It is recommended that the patient be fed with liquid foods for a few days after the surgery and pay attention to oral hygiene.It is possible to return to daily life in a short time after bichectomy.After a short time after bichectomy surgery, the patient gets rid of edema and swelling and regains fine facial features.
