It is the process of removing the fat pads that fill the cheeks with one-centimeter incisions made only inside the mouth, without leaving any visible scars from the outside. It can be applied to both women and men. A smooth cheek appearance is achieved with this method for people who complain about fullness in their cheeks and sagging around the chin. In the following period, as a result of the tightening of the skin due to its elastic structure, the cheekbones begin to become evident and the sagging appearance at the edge of the chin decreases. There is no collapse or sagging in the cheeks after bichectomy.
The procedure, which can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the patient's preference, is completed in approximately 30 minutes. Between 2 and 7 (average 2.5) milliliters of fat are removed from each cheek. Although it may seem like a simple procedure, the surgeon's experience in this regard is important. Determining the amount of fat to be removed in people with severe asymmetry and creating a personalized chin-cheek triangle after the operation is directly proportional to the surgeon's experience in this regard.
After the surgery, the stitches in the mouth dissolve within 1-3 weeks and disappear on their own. Eat soft foods for the first two days, then return to normal nutrition. Oral hygiene is required with the help of mouthwash for the first five days.
There will be no serious pain after the surgery. Mild sensitivity in the cheek area usually disappears within a few days. There is usually a slight swelling in the cheeks that lasts for a week. After resting on the same day, you can return to work the next day if desired. The change in the cheek begins to be noticed after 3-4 weeks, but the final appearance takes an average of 6-12 months.
The effects obtained with bichectomy surgery are as follows;
- The oval on the lower face sharpening of the appearance
- Reducing and/or delaying sagging of the jaw line
- Lightening of the lip edge and nasolabial (nose-lip) lines
- Relative to the thinning of the cheeks making the lips appear larger
- Increasing the prominence of the cheekbones
- Clarifying the area between the cheekbones and the cheek without make-up
Dimple creation
Cheek dimples are considered symbols of beauty on the face. However, since it is an innate feature, It is not found in men. It is due to the fact that the zygomaticus major muscle, one of the facial muscles, is shorter than normal. It can be unilateral or bilateral.
It is possible to obtain dimples after a procedure of approximately half an hour. A cheek dimple is created by removing some tissue using local anesthesia, using small incisions inside the mouth, without leaving any visible scars, and by making a light fixation on the facial muscles.
