What is Bichectomy?
Bichectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the Bichat fat pads in the cheeks, which can create a more contoured facial appearance.
What does the procedure involve?
The procedure involves making small incisions inside the mouth, removing the Bichat fat pads, and closing the incisions with sutures.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so the patient will not feel any pain during the procedure. However, there may be some discomfort during the recovery period.
How do I find a qualified surgeon?
It is important to find a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing Bichectomy. Patients can research surgeons in their area and read reviews from other patients to help make an informed decision.
What is the recovery time for Bichectomy?
The recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can return to work or school within a few days.
