    What is Bichectomy?

    Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of fat pads in the cheeks, known as buccal fat pads. These pads of fat are located in the lower part of the cheeks, just beneath the cheekbones, and can create a rounded, chubby facial appearance.

    Can buccal fat be removed naturally?

    Buccal fat pads are a natural part of the anatomy of the face and are composed of adipose tissue. It is not possible to remove buccal fat pads through natural methods alone, such as exercise or diet. While weight loss may lead to a reduction in overall body fat, it is not possible to target the reduction of buccal fat specifically through natural means. Buccal fat removal in Turkey is currently the most cost-effective method for reducing buccal fat pads

    Bichectomy in Turkey in 5 Steps

    Bichectomy in Turkey is commonly performed on patients from all social, religious and racial backgrounds with great success. While the specific methods and techniques can vary depending on a series of circumstances, you will find the standard 5 steps of the procedure right below:

    Anesthesia

    Surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia.

    Incision

    Once sedated, your surgeon will perform a small incision on the inside of the cheek,
    usually near the back of the mouth, to access the buccal fat pad.

    Fat Removal

    Your surgeon will gently grasp the buccal fat pad and remove the desired amount using a surgical instrument.

    Incision Closure

    Dissolvable sutures or surgical glue will be employed to close the incisions.

    Post-operative care

    We will remain at your side after the procedure and may be prescribed pain medications to help manage any possible discomfort.

    What to expect after the operation?

    The entire procedure usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Once surgery is over, you can expect a manageable degree of swelling and discomfort that will quickly subside and palliated with pain management medication. You surgeon will provide you with an important list of recommendations, such as avoiding any kind of physical activity for at least 1 week after the procedure, and as much resting as possible.

    You will also be given a soft food diet plan to minimize irritation and ensure proper healing. It is important for you to follow all post-op instructions carefully to allow for the best results. Your surgeon and personal nurse will remain at your side and regularly visit you, providing assistance and guidance.

    Are there any alternatives to bichectomy?

    Yes, there are, and they might be better for you. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best option for you. 

    Not everyone is a good candidate for a bichectomy in Turkey, or they may prefer a non-surgical option such as one of the following:
    Non-surgical facial contouring
    Non-surgical options like injectable fillers can be used tosculpt and contour the face. These fillers can be used to enhance cheekbones, reduce the appearance of jowls, and provide a more youthful and lifted appearance.
    Facial exercises
    Facial exercises can help tone and strengthen the muscles in the face and create a more defined facial structure. However, the effectiveness is not scientifically proven.
    Weight loss
    If excess cheek fat is due to excess body weight, losing weight through a healthy diet and exercise can help to reduce facial fat. Results will be quite limited, however.
    Makeup techniques
    Makeup can be used to create the illusion of a slimmer face. By using contouring techniques, you can create the appearance of more defined cheekbones.
