Bichectomy in Istanbul,Turkey

What is Bichectomy (Cheek Reduction Surgery)?

The face area is the first area that attracts attention and is visible in humans. Bichectomy is one of the most demanded aesthetic operations by people with a round/square face structure or who are disturbed by excessive fat in the cheek area.

The bichectomy aims to remove the fat in the cheek area without leaving any scars, highlight the cheekbones and give the face a more aesthetic appearance.

Bichectomy is not recommended for patients younger than 25 years of age. As the age progresses, the thickness of the fat layer will begin to decrease, so it will be beneficial to perform this operation at older ages. However, in case of necessity, every individual over 18 with well-established facial features and no objection to surgery can undergo a Bichectomy surgery.

How is bichectomy (cheek reduction surgery) performed?

Bichectomy is performed by removing excess fat tissue with small incisions in the mouth, without any visible scars from the outside. In this way, the cheek volume is reduced, and your doctor completes the operation by closing the incisions with self-dissolving sutures after performing the necessary surgical procedures to achieve your desired appearance.

How long does bichectomy (cheek aesthetics) surgery take?

Bichectomy is a very easy operation performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient's condition, and completed in about half an hour to an hour.

What should I do after bichectomy (cheek reduction surgery)?

Op.Dr. Mehmet KÖKSAL will explain in detail what you need to do after the surgery. Since there will be stitches in the mouth, you should consume as much liquid or soft foods that will not require chewing on the first day after the surgery.

Since it is necessary to keep the sutures in the mouth sterile, you should use mouthwash. Stitches do not need to be removed as they will dissolve independently. Patients are usually discharged on the same day and return to normal lives.
