All About Bichectomy
What is Bichectomy (Cheek Aesthetics)?
Cheeks, which directly affect the appearance of the face, can cause the person to look overweight due to the fat ratio on the face, even if the person has an ideal weight. In such cases, the person resorts to bichectomy operation in order to get rid of the overweight condition on his face. Bichectomy, in its broadest sense, is the process of removing excess fat from the cheeks. Bichectomy operation is performed by removing the buccal fat tissue in the middle of the cheeks. Thus, the face is provided to gain a more attractive, youthful and aesthetic appearance. Bisketomy, also known as Hollywood cheek, is applied to individuals who want to have a sharp and triangular face structure.
How is Cheek Aesthetics Performed?
In cheek thinning surgery performed under local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia, a small incision of approximately 1 cm is made into the cheek of the patient after anesthesia and some of the buccal adipose tissue is removed. After the removed fat tissues, the incision is sutured and the operation is completed. After the bichectomy operation, which takes a maximum of 1 hour, the patient is discharged during the day. Since the incisions are inside the cheek, there is no scar on the outer part of the cheek and the aesthetic appearance of the face is not adversely affected.
What are the Advantages of Cheek Aesthetics?
- The procedure time is short and does not require hospitalization.
- As it is performed under local anesthesia, anesthesia-related symptoms such as nausea are not observed after the operation.
- Persons with round and plump facial features can achieve facial features in a short time that cannot be achieved with diet, diet and sports.</li >
- Provides a more effective and smoother appearance since there is no filling and prosthesis application.
- Because the fat tissue in the cheek is removed, weight gain does not cause facial features to return to their original shape.
- The recovery period after the operation is fast. Since there is no incision on the skin surface, it does not pose an aesthetic problem.
Things to Consider Before Bichectomy?
- As in all aesthetic operations, blood thinners should be discontinued at least one week before bichectomy.
- Food supplements and herbal teas should also be stopped 3 days before.
- Alcohol and tobacco consumption should be stopped 1 week before the operation.
Before the operation, our doctors conduct a general meeting with you. In this interview, it is necessary to state the expectations and goals of the patient, whether he has any disease, whether there is any medication or food supplement that he regularly uses.
Thanks to this information, our surgeons create a preliminary idea about the possible risk and recovery period, and the surgical operation is performed in the most appropriate way for the person.
Things to Consider After Bichectomy?
The recovery process of each patient may differ after bichectomy surgery. The more careful you are after the surgery, the easier and faster you will get through this process. In general, the recovery period covers 14 days. Things to watch out for;
- Consuming soft foods and cold drinks during the first three days after bichectomy will also prevent possible bleeding.
- It is important to avoid hard foods that need to be chewed.
- You should also avoid sun exposure.
- Alcohol and cigarettes should not be consumed during the recovery period. Blood thinners should not be used as they pose a risk of bleeding.
- Heavy exercise and various physical activities should be avoided for 5-7 days after the surgery.
It should not be forgotten that paying attention to the recommendations of the physician during the recovery period will accelerate the healing process. Since the fat tissue in the cheek is removed with bichectomy surgery, the procedure is permanent. If the person gains weight, fat tissue does not accumulate in the cheek area as much as before, so the triangular face appearance does not disappear.
