What is Bichectomy?

What is Bichectomy?

A bichectomy is a straightforward plastic surgery designed to narrow out the mid to lower part of the face.

Sometimes referred to as “the #Hollywood cheek”, a bichectomy removes the buccal fat of the cheeks, resulting in prominent cheekbones, a better-defined jaw, and an overall slimmer, more sculpted look.

Bichectomy is an aesthetic #facial procedure which consists of Bichat’s adipose bag remover, which is located in two fat compartments inside the cheeks. Bichat bags are not essential for the body and your main one is for the first years of life chewing and sucking for babies.

Bichectomy is a relatively easy alternative where the surgeon makes a small incision on the inside of the cheeks, near the fat bags, and once the surgeon localized, removes them and completes their extraction to then suture the wound. It is a quick procedure, which hardly lasts more than an hour to be completed.

As a general rule, a bichectomy is best suited to people in their mid-20s and early 30s, with thick, square, or round faces. A bichectomy should never be performed on an adolescent, as they are still growing into their adult features.

The surgery may not suit older patients either, as facial fat is lost naturally as we age, and a bichectomy may emphasize the aging process. Those outside of a healthy weight range are also not suitable for the procedure, as weight gain and loss can drastically change facial shape.
