Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal) Surgery in Turkey, Antalya
What is a bichectomy?
Bichectomy is a surgical procedure that has an important place in the field of facial aesthetics and aims to clarify the shape of the face. It involves the surgical removal of sebaceous glands, particularly those located in the cheek area. This process sharpens and highlights facial features, resulting in a harmonious and aesthetic appearance for the patient.
How is bichectomy performed?
Bichectomy procedure typically entails the following steps under general anesthesia:
- Determining the incision location: The surgeon determines the appropriate incision for the bichectomy based on the patient's facial structure and wishes. Usually, the surgeon makes these incisions on the inner cheek or gum line to minimize scars.
- Fat gland (lipoma) and tissue removal: Surgeons surgically remove the sebaceous glands and excess tissue within the cheek through the designated incision. This step reduces excess volume in the cheek area, making facial contours more defined.
- Incision closure: The incision locations are carefully closed, usually leaving the removed sebaceous glands and tissue inside. This approach minimizes scars and expedites the healing process.
Who is suitable for bichectomy?
Bichectomy surgery may generally be suitable for the following conditions:
- People with round or wide faces: It is ideal for those who want to make their face shape look more oval or thinner.
- Asymmetric facial features: People with imbalance or asymmetry in their cheeks may find it preferable to balance their facial features.
- Need for professional appearance: Bichectomy can be an effective solution for those who want a professional and sharp appearance in the workplace.
Before the bichectomy procedure, the surgeon makes a detailed evaluation for each patient and plans the procedure accordingly. Patient satisfaction and safety are at the forefront of this procedure.
What are the advantages of bichectomy?
Bichectomy offers many advantages in the field of facial aesthetics:
- Unique facial contours: With the decrease in volume in the cheek area, facial features become more distinct and sharp.
- Aesthetic balance: This technique corrects asymmetrical facial features and enhances the overall balance and harmony of the face.
- Permanent results: When done correctly, the bichectomy procedure provides permanent results and an aesthetic that is compatible with the patient's facial structure.
Recovery after bichectomy
Patients may usually experience mild pain and swelling after the bichectomy procedure. The surgeon can recommend medications to manage these discomforts. The recovery process may vary depending on the patient's general health condition, surgical techniques, and materials used. With careful care and control after surgery, patients can return to their normal daily activities.
When do you see results after buccal fat removal?
It is possible to see the effects of the bichectomy procedure immediately after the operation. However, oedema formation at a later stage will obscure the results. At the end of the third week, when the oedema begins to decrease, the results begin to appear more clearly. It is necessary to wait 3 months to see the final results and effects.
Does buccal fat removal leave a scar?
Bichectomy surgery is performed through tiny incisions in the mouth. The oral mucosa heals fast. Thus, the incisions in the mouth will heal in a short time and there will be no obvious scar.
Complications associated with bichectomy surgery
Facial edema is naturally inevitable after surgery. However, the edema starts to decrease towards the end of the 3rd week. Damage to facial nerves is a very rare complication. This is minimized with the skill and experience of your surgeon.
Which aesthetic procedures can be integrated with bichectomy surgery?
You can combine bichectomy surgery with a few facial cosmetic procedures, including endoscopic temporal lifting, blepharoplasty eyelid aesthetics, and cantoplasty eye aesthetics.
