What is Bichectomy?
Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic procedure designed to create a more sculpted and contoured facial appearance by removing excess fat from the cheeks. This procedure enhances cheekbone definition and refines the jawline, providing a slimmer and more elegant look.
Turkey has become a sought-after destination for bichectomy due to its skilled surgeons, advanced facilities, and cost-effective solutions.
Who is it For?
Bichectomy is suitable for individuals who:
Desire a slimmer, more contoured facial appearance.
Have prominent or rounded cheeks due to excess buccal fat.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with subtle, natural-looking results.
Benefits of Bichectomy
Enhances cheekbone definition and jawline contour.
Creates a more youthful, sculpted facial structure.
Requires minimal downtime and leaves no visible scars.
Provides permanent results as buccal fat does not grow back.

Before the Procedure
• Initial Consultation: Your surgeon will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine whether bichectomy is the right choice for you.
• Medical Evaluation: A health assessment ensures you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
• Pre-Operative Guidelines: Avoid smoking, alcohol, and medications that increase bleeding risk as advised by your surgeon.

The Procedure
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
• Incisions: Small incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no external scars.
• Fat Removal: The surgeon carefully removes the buccal fat pads, which are located between the cheekbones and jaw.
• Closure: The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, and patients can return home the same day.

After the Procedure
• Immediate Recovery: Swelling and mild discomfort are normal and subside within 1–2 weeks.
• Dietary Restrictions:A soft or liquid diet may be recommended initially to avoid irritation of the surgical area.
• Post-Surgical Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions, including oral hygiene measures to prevent infection.
• Results Timeline: Initial results become noticeable once swelling subsides, with final
contours visible in 2–3 months as tissues fully heal.
Possible Complications (Minimised with Expert Care)
Bichectomy is a safe and straightforward procedure, but like any surgery, it carries potential risks, such as:
• Temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness in the cheeks.
• Minor asymmetry, which often resolves as healing progresses.
• Rare risks, such as infection or excessive removal of fat, are minimised by choosing an experienced surgeon.
