Bichectomy
Bichectomy removes excess volume from the middle and lower cheeks, achieving a longer, thinner face and making the facial bone structure appear more defined.
Bichectomy | Overview
At My Cosmetic Surgery, we offer specialized Bichectomy procedures to help you achieve a more balanced and sculpted facial appearance. Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a surgical technique aimed at reducing the size of the buccal fat pads in the cheeks, resulting in a slimmer and more defined facial contour.
Our experienced surgeons understand the importance of facial harmony and proportion, and Bichectomy can play a significant role in enhancing your overall facial aesthetics. The procedure involves making small incisions inside the mouth to access the buccal fat pads, which are then carefully removed to achieve a refined facial silhouette.
During your personalized consultation, our experts will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine whether Bichectomy is the right option for you. We prioritize your safety and satisfaction, and our skilled surgeons will guide you through the procedure, addressing any concerns and ensuring you have a clear understanding of what to expect.

Keep in mind, different procedures have different recovery timelines. Your surgeon’s expertise will guide you towards successful healing and achieving the results you desire.
Checklist
- Adhere to all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon for optimal healing and results.
- Use cold compresses and keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. This can help minimize discomfort and promote healing.
- Stick to a soft diet and stay well-hydrated. Avoid hot and spicy foods that could irritate the surgical site.
- Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol during the initial recovery period, as they can hinder the healing process.
- Gently brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with a mild, alcohol-free mouthwash after meals to maintain oral hygiene.
- Avoid strenuous activities and exercises that could strain your face. Follow your surgeon's recommendations regarding activity restrictions.
