Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)

• Am I a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)?

Buccal fat removal, commonly known as bichectomy, is a type of surgery that reduces cheek fullness by removing excess fat pads from the lower face. While this technique can help you achieve a more sculpted facial appearance, you must first evaluate whether you are a good candidate for surgery.

Good candidates should be in good general health, with noticeable cheek fullness, a desire to create a more sculpted or contoured facial appearance, and reasonable expectations.

• Will Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy) Leave Visible Scars?

Buccal fat removal usually leaves no apparent external scars because the incisions are made inside the mouth. However, effective post-operative care is critical to reducing the risk of problems and promoting healing.
