Bichectomy in Merida
This is a minimally invasive surgical intervention that involves reducing the size of the fat pads found in the cheeks. This procedure not only has an aesthetic effect on facial appearance but can also help treat medical problems such as inflammation of the parotid glands or traumatic cheek biting.
In this article, we will provide you with everything you need to know about buccal fat removal.
What is Bichectomy?
Bichectomy is a cosmetic surgery performed to reduce the size of the fat pads found in the cheeks. These fat pads, known as the Bichat’s pads, are a natural accumulation of fat found in the lower part of the cheeks and can make the face look rounder and fuller.
The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure that lasts around one hour. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions inside the patient’s mouth and carefully removes the fat pads from the cheeks.
Why is Bichectomy performed?
Bichectomy is mainly performed for cosmetic reasons as it can help reduce the size of the cheeks and make the face appear slimmer and more defined. Many people who undergo buccal fat removal are looking for a more sculpted and defined facial appearance. However, it can also have medical benefits. By reducing the size of the Bichat’s pads, the surgery can help relieve inflammation of the parotid glands and reduce traumatic cheek biting. It may also be recommended by a doctor if there is a frequent infection in the parotid glands.
What is the recovery process like after buccal fat removal?
After the surgery, the patient may experience pain and discomfort in the cheeks for a few days, but these symptoms can be controlled with painkillers and cold compresses. The patient may need to follow a liquid or soft food diet for a few days after the surgery.
Most patients can return to work or their normal activities within a few days after the surgery, but it is important to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause an increase in blood pressure for at least a week after the surgery. The patient should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks after the surgery as this can delay healing.
Benefits of Bichectomy
The benefits of buccal fat removal include a more sculpted and defined facial appearance as well as possible medical benefits such as reducing inflammation of the parotid glands and traumatic cheek biting. Many patients report an increase in self-esteem and confidence after the surgery.
