Bichectomy surgery is applied to people who want to make their facial features more prominent and thin the face. This operation is the process of removing some of the large cheek fat (buccal fat pads) in the lower part of the face and is also known as “facial thinning surgery”.
Bichectomy surgery is an ideal option for individuals who want to give their facial features a sharper and thinner appearance. People with round or full cheeks can achieve a more angular facial structure with this operation. By thinning the lower part of the face, the surgery makes the cheekbones more prominent and provides an aesthetic appearance.
Bichectomy operation is especially preferred by people who want to emphasize their facial features and achieve a younger appearance. However, as with any aesthetic operation, bichectomy surgery should be evaluated according to individual characteristics and expectations. Surgeons determine whether this operation is appropriate, taking into account the patient’s facial structure, skin quality and general health status.
Bichectomy, also known as cheek aesthetics, is performed through small incisions made through the mouth. Bichectomy can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Thus, there is no scar on the face. During the surgery, the buccal fat pads that contribute to the plump appearance of the cheeks are accessed. The surgeon carefully removes some of these fat pads. Not all of this fat is removed. The procedure slims the lower part of the face, making the cheekbones more prominent.
The operation is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30 minutes to one hour. The duration of the operation may vary depending on the amount of fat to be removed and the general facial structure of the patient. After bichectomy surgery, patients can usually return home on the same day.
Postoperative recovery is usually fast and patients can return to their daily activities immediately. However, it takes 3-4 months to see full results. It is important for patients to pay attention to oral hygiene after the operation and follow other care instructions given by the surgeon.
Patients who are considering a bichectomy operation should undergo a pre-operative health assessment. This assessment determines both their general health status and whether they are suitable for a bichectomy. Patients should also openly share their expectations and possible concerns with their surgeon before surgery. This helps the surgeon to make a treatment plan that is in line with the patient’s wishes.
Patients who have a smoking habit before the operation are advised to quit smoking at least a few weeks before the operation as it may adversely affect the healing process. It is also beneficial to reduce or completely stop alcohol use. In addition, the use of certain medications such as aspirin, which may increase bleeding, and some herbal supplements should be regulated in line with the surgeon’s recommendations.
A healthy diet and adequate hydration until the day of surgery ensures that the body is optimally prepared for surgery. It is also important for patients to keep themselves relaxed and stress-free during this process. The preoperative period is a critical time for patients to learn about the surgical process and to prepare for the postoperative recovery. Careful adherence to the surgeon’s instructions and recommendations ensures a successful and trouble-free surgery.
After bichectomy surgery, patients should pay attention to some important issues in order to have the best recovery period. First of all, it is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions meticulously in the postoperative period. These instructions include advice on oral hygiene, regular use of prescribed medications and avoiding heavy physical activity for a certain period of time.
Mild pain, swelling and bruising are normal after surgery and these symptoms subside within a few days. Patients are advised to get enough rest during this period and use painkillers if necessary. Cold compresses may also be useful to reduce swelling and speed healing.
Temporary changes in eating and drinking habits may also be necessary. Avoiding hard foods, especially in the first few days, and preferring softer, easily chewable foods contributes to the healing process. In addition, avoiding smoking and alcohol use during recovery reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery.
The price of bichectomy surgery varies depending on many different factors. Therefore, it can be difficult to give a specific price range. The main factors affecting pricing include the surgeon’s experience, whether the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, the clinic where the surgery will be performed and the quality of the services provided. In addition, the patient’s personal situation and any special interventions required by the surgery may also affect the price. It is also important for patients to consider that the total cost of the surgery includes not only the surgical procedure but also the pre- and post-operative care.
