Bichectomy Aesthetic Solution to Enhance Your Facial Features
Bichectomy is an aesthetic procedure that surgically removes excess fat tissue in the cheek area, making facial contours more prominent. It is also popularly known as “cheek thinning surgery”. It has become a popular choice especially for people who want to have prominent facial features.
What is a Bichectomy?
Bichectomy is performed by removing the tissues in the cheeks called “Bichat fat pads”. With this procedure, the face gains a slimmer, contoured and attractive appearance. Bichectomy is generally preferred by people with genetically round or full facial features.

Bichectomy is usually suitable for people with the following characteristics
- Round Face Lines: Those who want to have a thinner face structure.
- Those who want prominent chin and cheek contours: Those who want to make their facial features sharper.
- Those who care about their aesthetic appearance: Those who desire a younger and more attractive appearance.
- 18-45 Age Range: Individuals in the age group where skin elasticity is preserved.
How is a Bichectomy Performed?
The bichectomy procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes a very short time. The stages of the procedure are as follows:
- Planning The surgeon analyzes the face and determines the area where the fat pads will be removed.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia so that the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
- Making Incisions: Small incisions are made inside the mouth so that there is no external scarring.
- Removal of Fat Tissue: Bichat fat pads are carefully removed.
- Stitching and healing: The incisions are sutured and the procedure is completed.
