Every day, more people are seeking to enhance their facial harmony and refine their aesthetic features through cosmetic surgery. In this context, bichectomy has become one of the most requested procedures due to its remarkable results. Cosmetic surgery continues to advance with less invasive, safer, and more effective techniques, offering patients innovative solutions to improve their appearance.
At My Cosmetic Surgery, one of the most renowned cosmetic surgery clinics in the United States, bichectomy is among the most popular procedures due to its transformative results.
What Does Bichectomy Involve?
Bichectomy is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of the Buccal Fat Pads or Bichat’s Balls located inside the cheeks. This procedure aims to create a more sculpted and defined facial appearance. The Buccal Fat Pads are dense fat deposits enclosed in a thin capsule, making them unsuitable for removal through liposuction. The extraction is performed quickly and safely through a small incision inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars.
These Buccal Fat Pads affect the shape of the mid and lower face, sometimes giving a round face appearance with poorly defined angles. Bichectomy removes the excess volume from these pads, resulting in a more elongated, slimmer face with a more defined bone structure.
Cosmetic surgery specialists confirm that while these structures participate in chewing, they do not serve a specific or essential function for normal adult life, so their removal does not pose any issues.
The goal of bichectomy is to achieve a significant rejuvenation effect, addressing the desire to enhance youthful appearance quickly and effectively.
At My Cosmetic Surgery, Bichectomy is performed by the renowned plastic surgeon Luke Gutwein, a member of the American Board of Surgery with extensive experience in this procedure. Dr. Gutwein’s dedication and commitment have made him one of the most preferred surgeons among patients at My Cosmetic Surgery.
