The fatty tissue on your cheek, between the chewing muscles, sags downwards over time. This sagging may cause you to have a tired and old facial expression.
The process of removing fat from the cheeks, called bichectomy, helps you have sharper facial lines and makes your cheekbones more visible. In order for the face to look young, it should be in the shape of an inverted triangle, that is, the upper and lateral parts of the face should be fuller. Bichectomy, especially for those with round facial features or square facial structure, makes the face look like an inverted triangle.
Bichectomy is among the surgeries frequently performed by Hollywood stars. That's why it is also called "Hollywood cheek". The reason why this surgery is frequently preferred is that it has a short procedure time, is relatively less painful, and has immediate results. Bichectomy can also be performed in combination with a facelift. But the basic logic of such surgeries is to avoid, as much as possible, surgeries that take a long time, have higher risks, have a longer recovery period, are more painful, and cause more edema and bruising, such as facelifts, and instead of such difficult surgeries, the results of which appear in a longer time. is to create alternative methods that are less painful and have a shorter recovery period.
The procedure can be performed under both local and general anesthesia. Surgery time is approximately one hour.
There is very little pain during and after the surgery. We respond very well to painkillers. In the first days after surgery, there may be swelling and edema in the cheeks, bruising rarely occurs. Bichectomy is a day surgery, meaning you usually do not need to stay in the hospital after surgery. We do not want the patient to consume hot, acidic and spicy foods and drinks in the first week after surgery, as these may slow down healing and increase pain. Applying ice for the first 48 hours can reduce edema and bruising. The stitches placed inside the mouth are absorbable and do not need to be removed. Since the procedure is performed through the mouth, there is no scar left on the face.
Surgeries and procedures such as bichectomy surgery, chin implants, and cheekbone filling can be performed in one session. Your face It gives the "inverted triangle" appearance required to make the face look younger and more vibrant; It is recommended to be performed together with procedures such as cheekbone filler and chin implants or chin filler.
