Cheek Slimming (Bichectomy)
Tanım ve Amacı
Bichectomy is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat from the cheek area to provide more defined facial contours and a slimmer appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals with fuller cheeks who feel self-conscious about their round facial appearance. Bichectomy helps achieve a more attractive and aesthetically pleasing facial profile by accentuating the lower part of the face.
Prosedür
Bichectomy is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation, and the procedure lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. During the surgery, small incisions are made inside the mouth, and the buccal fat pads are removed from the cheek area. Since the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible scars on the outside.
İyileşme Süreci
The recovery process after bichectomy is generally quick, and patients are usually discharged on the same day. Swelling and mild bruising may occur during the first few days, but these symptoms typically subside within a week. Patients are advised to maintain good oral hygiene and follow the post-operative care instructions provided by their doctor. During recovery, it is recommended to avoid hard or chewy foods and stick to a soft diet. Full recovery and the final results may take a few weeks to appear.
