Bichectomy

Removal of cheek fat sacs (Bichectomy)

When losing weight, most of us focus primarily on problem areas such as the tummy or buttocks, yet it is the face that first reflects our body weight. As the pounds pile on, it slowly rounds out and can look even puffy. However, let’s not always look for overweight behind this condition. Fatty deposits cause a plumper appearance and removing them helps to aesthetically shape the face and accentuate the jawline.

If overly filled cheeks bother you, a bichectomy, or cheek fat pad removal, can help.

What is bichectomy

Bichectomy is a great solution to regain your lost self-confidence. By removing the buccal fat, you will quickly and gently narrow your cheeks, accentuate your cheekbones, and achieve a slimmer appearance. At ABClinic, bunionectomy is performed by highly skilled plastic and facial surgeons who respect facial proportions and harmony. The procedure is conducted in such a way that the symmetry of the face is maintained and the result is as natural as possible.

What you get from the procedure

  • Gentle and permanent slimming of chubby cheeks
  • Subtle cheekbone enhancement while maintaining facial harmony
  • Youthful facial appearance
  • Increased self-confidence

How does it work?

Before surgery

A personal consultation is required before any aesthetic surgery. The plastic surgeon will evaluate whether bichectomy is the right solution for you.

he procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will only have to undergo a basic pre-operative blood test.

It is advisable to include some food supplements in the menu about one week before the actual procedure, which can speed up healing.

After the operation

The site of the procedure may be swollen and slightly red for the next few days, but both will soon subside and will not interfere with your normal activities. As the procedure is performed inside the mouth, increased oral hygiene is essential. For a few days after surgery, you should follow a special drinking and eating regime and avoid increased physical activity. The final results of the surgery are usually visible within 2 months.

The course of the operation

Bichectomy is a procedure performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. The surgeon removes part or all of the fatty sac in the cheek area intraorally (from inside the mouth) after making small incisions in the lining of the mouth. He then sews the wound together with absorbable stitches. Although the procedure is usually performed on both cheeks, in the case of asymmetry it can be performed on only one of them.

Important information

The aging process is unfortunately inevitable and will of course have a lasting effect on the long-term stability of the bichectomy result. Our specialists will recommend regular treatments and therapies designed to slow down the facial aging process.

Words of our customers

Bichectomy
MUDr. Matěj Patzelt
What an amazing experience from consultation to post-op care! I had buccal fat removal in June 2022 and I honestly cannot express how grateful I am for the treatment I received at ABClinic. The entire experience from the initial consultation to the surgery and follow up was flawless – not to mention the life changing results! Operoval MUDr. Matěj Patzelt, Ph.D., který je fenomenální lékař, umí uklidnit, a to jak svým chováním, tak svým hlasem. Not only did he take great care of me, but he also has a lovely way of explaining the procedure thoroughly and clearly, answering my questions and making me feel comfortable. He is a perfectionist and a highly talented surgeon who did an amazing job removing my buccal fat pads. Navíc tým kolem MUDr. Matěj Patzelta, Ph.D. a klinika, je prostě úžasný! The administrative team was so professional throughout the entire process and was always available to very patiently answer my questions throughout the day and evening. Weeks after surgery, they reached out to me to make sure everything was healing properly and that everything was ok. In addition, the way the nursing team communicated with me before and after surgery, and how they took care of me immediately after the buccal fat removal, made me feel safe. The whole process was like a dream! A big thank you to everyone who made it possible! Jasmin S.
