What Is Bichectomy Surgery?
When it comes to aesthetic operations, beauty or cosmetic procedures, many people may think that making facial features fuller is better. However, we must say that when it comes to cheeks, the demands are always in favor of thinness rather than fullness. Especially with the oval face or V face shape becoming more popular in recent years, the demand for cheek thinning surgeries has increased tremendously in recent years.
Cheek thinning surgery, or bichectomy surgery, as it is called in the medical literature, is an operation that is completed in a short time and that the results are visible from the first moment, and it is a comfortable operation that promises to clinch your beauty. Basically, although it does not cause any health problems, full and fatty cheeks can cause discontent in people. Although cheek thinning is promised with some face yoga movements and medical devices today, they never give clear, precise and fast results as cheek thinning surgery.
Cheek thinning surgery is an aesthetic & cosmetic surgery procedure. However, the fact that it is an operation that is applied purely for aesthetic concerns and a desire for renewal does not make it less valuable or simple. As in every surgical operation, there are some procedures and practices to be followed when it comes to cheek thinning or bichectomy surgery.
What Kind of Application Is Bichectomy Surgery?
Bichectomy (cheek thinning surgery) is a cosmetic surgery application. It can be easily applied to all men and women over the age of 18 who want to be aesthetically renewed and have a thinner, oval face line. In addition to being a very comfortable operation, we can say that it is a practical procedure with its completion in about half an hour.
There are bichat oils on the inside of our cheeks that make our cheeks appear fuller. These oils, which are in block form, cause our cheeks to appear more rounded. In bichectomy surgery (cheek thinning surgery), exactly these fat tissues are intervened. The aim of this operation is to take the bichat fats from the inside of the cheek, to thin the cheek area and to dimple it. Thus, when the cheek area is dimpled, the cheekbones are further revealed and an oval face line, V-Line Face, is obtained from the forehead to the chin. According to today’s popular and accepted view, the V face form, which is defined as the ideal face line, is mostly obtained by removing the bichat fats from the cheek area and thinning the lower face from the cheek area.
The operation is a practical, reliable and comfortable operation that does not require hospitalization. Sedation or local anesthesia is used in cheek thinning surgery, which is an operation that is completed in an average of 30 minutes.
Bichectomy Surgery Preparation Process
Bichectomy operation (cheek thinning operation) is much more comfortable than other aesthetic surgery operations, but it is a very reliable operation with minimal risk of complications. However, as in every plastic surgery procedure, there is a preparation process in bichectomy surgery.
As the first step, we make a consultation appointment for our patients who apply to us for bichectomy surgery (cheek thinning surgery). In this examination, the general facial features of the patient are evaluated and the details of the operation to be performed are transferred to him by our surgeon. Then, during this interview, we take your patient’s medical history. In this way, we can make sure that there is no medical problem that prevents anesthesia. In addition to the medical history, we ask our patients to have some examinations done during this process. The purpose of these examinations is to evaluate whether there is an additional condition that prevents anesthesia and whether there are risks such as diabetes and infection. After everything is suitable for the surgery, we decide on the surgery day with our patient.
How Is Bichectomy Surgery Performed?
The operation is a comfortable procedure completed in an average of 30 minutes. In bichectomy, which is an operation in which local anesthesia or sedation is preferred, the incision is made from the mucosa in the cheek. This has many advantages. The first plus is that there will be no visible surgical scar in the patient. Another plus is that the mucosa is a slippery and fast-healing tissue. Therefore, an incision made here will provide healing in a short time.
In bichectomy surgery (cheek thinning surgery), after the incision made through the mouth, the bichat fats are removed in the form of blocks, and thinning and cupping is obtained in the cheek area. Then the operation is completed safely.
After bichectomy, which is an operation that does not require hospitalization, it is sufficient for the patient to rest for a few hours. He is then easily discharged from the hospital.
The healing process is critical in bichectomy surgery, which we can consider as a scarless operation since it leaves almost no trace, or rather scars are not visible.
Recovery Process After Bichectomy Surgery
It is quite expected to feel slight pain in the mouth area and cheeks after the operation. These pains can be easily controlled with mild painkillers.
After bichectomy surgery (cheek thinning surgery), our patients should be very careful in their food consumption for the first 2-3 days. During this process, very hot or very cold foods and beverages should not be consumed.
Intraoral hygiene should be very careful after bichectomy or cheek thinning surgery performed with an incision made through the mouth. The care of our mouth, which is perhaps one of the places that produce the most and fastest bacteria in our body, is of extra importance in this process to prevent infection of the surgery site.
