ABOUT BICHECTOMY
Prior to surgery, the surgeon will evaluate your facial anatomy, medical history and expectations. You will be advised to avoid smoking, alcohol and certain medications that may increase bleeding. During the procedure, the surgeon will mark the location of the buccal fat pads and make a small incision inside the mouth near the upper second molar. The surgeon will then locate the fat pads and gently remove them with forceps or a cannula. The incision will be closed with absorbable sutures and the surgeon will apply a pressure bandage to reduce swelling. The surgery can be combined with other procedures such as liposuction, chin augmentation or cheek implants to enhance the results.

BICHECTOMY RECOVERY
After the procedure, you will receive instructions on how to care for your incisions, how to manage pain and swelling, and when to resume your normal activities.
You should avoid hot, spicy or hard foods for a few days and rinse your mouth with an antiseptic solution after every meal. You should also avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure and facial massages for a few weeks.
The swelling and bruising will gradually subside and you will see the final results in three to six months. The results are permanent unless you gain a lot of weight.
ARE YOU THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR A BICHECTOMY?
Bichectomy is suitable for people who have chubby cheeks, a round face or lack of facial definition. It can also help people who have sagging cheeks due to aging or weight loss. Bichectomy can also cause complications such as bleeding, infection, asymmetry, nerve damage or facial hollowing. Bichectomy can improve the harmony, balance and attractiveness of your face. However, bichectomy is not recommended for people with very thin faces, prominent cheekbones, or a history of facial nerve injury or infection.
