Bichectomy Procedure
Buccal fat removal surgery requires an incision on the inside of the mouth, on the inner portion of the cheek. A small 2-4cm long incision will be made between the cheek and gums, near the second molar on both sides of the mouth. Occasionally, the buccal fat pad may be removed during a facelift and not necessitate an incision inside the mouth. Through this incision, fat will be excised, sculpting the cheek to a slender, pleasing contour. Dissolvable sutures will then be used to close the incision.
The goal of buccal fat removal is to thin the cheeks, specifically in the area of the cheek hollows. Although a face that is naturally soft and filled out is considered youthful, some people find that their face feels too full, even chubby.
Recovery Time for Bichectomy
Some swelling, bruising and discomfort are normal immediately following surgery.
Showering and bathing are permitted the day after surgery. Light activity is allowed and encouraged however, no heavy lifting or strenuous activity should be attempted during the first 72 hours after surgery. Aerobic and impact cardio exercise should be avoided for one week post-operatively.
