Bichectomy / Cheek Thinning with Op. Dr. Eda Horoz
Bichectomy, also known as cheek thinning surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to create a more sculpted and defined facial appearance. By removing excess fat from the buccal (cheek) area, bichectomy enhances cheek contours, delivering a slimmer, more refined look.
What is Bichectomy (Cheek Thinning)?
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery that involves the removal of buccal fat pads from the cheeks. These fat pads, located between the cheekbones and jawline, can create a round or puffy appearance. By carefully removing this excess fat, bichectomy provides a more contoured and chiseled look, particularly accentuating the cheekbones and jawline.
Benefits of Bichectomy
Enhanced Facial Contours
Highlights cheekbones and jawline for a more defined profile.
Slimmer Appearance
Reduces puffiness and roundness in the face.
Quick and Minimally Invasive
Performed under local anesthesia with minimal recovery time.
Permanent Results
Once the buccal fat pads are removed, they do not regenerate.
Who is a Good Candidate for Bichectomy?
Bichectomy is ideal for individuals with naturally full or round cheeks who desire a slimmer facial appearance. The procedure is not recommended for individuals with very thin or angular faces, as removing buccal fat can create a hollowed-out look. During your consultation, Op. Dr. Eda Horoz will assess your facial structure and discuss whether bichectomy is the right choice for you.
