What does Bichectomy consist of?

Bichectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed in the field of facial cosmetic surgery. It consists in the removal of the fat pads called “Bichat’s balls”, which are located in the cheeks. These bags are responsible for the rounded appearance or prominent cheeks, and their removal helps to refine the face and highlight the cheekbones, providing a more stylized and defined appearance.

Who is a Bichectomy recommended for?

Bichectomy is recommended for all those people who want to improve the facial structure and achieve a more angular appearance in the face. Although it is important to keep in mind that each case must be evaluated individually by a certified plastic surgeon, bichectomy can be an interesting option for:

• People with prominent cheeks: Individuals who have excessive cheek volume with a rounded or “moon-faced” facial appearance may benefit from bichectomy to achieve a more contoured and defined face.
• Individuals with poorly defined cheekbones: Bichectomy may be recommended for those who wish to enhance their cheekbones and improve facial structure, as the removal of fat pads can help reveal the natural contours of the cheekbones.
• People dissatisfied with facial shape: Those who are unhappy with the overall shape of their face and wish to refine facial features may consider bichectomy as an option to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious appearance.
