Bichectomy
Bichectomy is also known as buccal fat removal and is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. It is a minor procedure that removes excess fat from the area directly under your chin, making it a great alternative to traditional liposuction.
Bichectomy is a safe and non-invasive procedure that can be performed in our state-of-the-art surgery center. After numbing your chin with an injection, we will make an incision in your skin at the base of your jaw line and remove the excess fat. The incision will be closed with dissolvable sutures and bandages will be applied to protect it during recovery time.
You can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort following your surgery – these side effects usually last only a few days to weeks after treatment. You may return to normal activities once you have recovered from anesthesia, which varies from patient to patient depending on their medical condition and age.
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes about a third of the buccal fat pad, which is the small, puffy tissue in your cheek.
Buccal fat pad (BFP) reduction is a popular procedure that can give you the leaner look you want. The procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon, who removes a portion of your buccal fat pad using an incision made inside your mouth. Buccal fat pad reduction is also known as ‘chin lipo.’
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes about a third of the buccal fat pad, which is the small, puffy tissue in your cheek. This may be done alone or with other facial procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or chin augmentation.
The BFP (buccal fat pad) is a small cushion of fat located just below your cheekbone area. It can make your face appear rounder and fuller than it actually is. Removing some or all of this extra fat may help to give you a thinner appearance overall — particularly if you have thin lips.
A bichectomy removes only about one-third of the BFP, so the majority of it remains intact after the procedure.
Scarring is minimal with bichectomy and easily concealed by mouth movements and contours in the mouth area.
Bichectomy is a procedure that removes the innermost layer of your lips, which is called the mucosa. The mucosa is replaced by a small amount of tissue from another part of your body.
Bichectomy can be used to treat an abnormality in the appearance of the mouth. Depending on the type of abnormality, bichectomy may be an option for you.
You may have heard this procedure called ‘blepharoplasty’ or ‘blepharotomy.’ But these terms are no longer used because they refer to different parts of the eye and lip.
The goal of bichectomy is to remove only part of your upper or lower lip without damaging important structures such as nerves and blood vessels. The scarring is minimal with bichectomy and easily concealed by mouth movements and contours in the mouth area.
Before bichectomy, we usually recommend that you have an evaluation with a plastic surgeon who has experience performing this procedure. He or she will examine your mouth and discuss why you might need bichectomy, including whether other treatments would be better suited for your needs; whether there are any alternatives to bichectomy; and what would happen if treatment isn’t needed at all.
Bichectomy is a procedure that removes the bichat balls from the cheek area.
Bichectomy is a procedure that removes the bichat balls from the cheek area. The Bichat balls are located in the cheek area, which is surrounded by muscles and fat tissues.
They can be felt as lumps or bumps under the skin that are not always visible. They are caused by a buildup of fat and tissue within specific areas of your body.
Bichectomy can also be referred to as liposuction, but this is not always correct. Liposuction only involves removing fat cells from one particular area, whereas bichectomy can involve removing excess fat cells from multiple areas on your body.
When performed correctly, bichectomy has no side effects or complications associated with it; however, if performed incorrectly then this could cause complications such as infection or bleeding.
Bichectomy is most often performed on people who are in good health.
Bichectomy is most often performed on people who are in good health. The procedure is done through a small incision (cut), and the recovery time is usually short.
Bichectomy is usually done to remove a bicuspid (or ‘baby tooth’) that is interfering with the alignment of other teeth or causing other problems, such as pain. It can also be used to correct some types of jaw deformities.
The bicuspid will be removed and replaced with a permanent tooth if you have enough room for it in your mouth. If there isn’t enough space, the bicuspid may be taken out permanently or left in place but trimmed down so it doesn’t interfere with your other teeth.
Bichectomy surgery is most popular among women in their 20s and 30s.
Buccal Fat Removal surgery is most popular among women in their 20s and 30s. However, it’s becoming increasingly popular among older patients who want to get rid of the fat pads below their cheeks, which can cause them to look older than they are.
In some cases, this procedure may be done in conjunction with cheek implants or a facelift. It is also often performed along with other procedures like rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
Although there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to this type of surgery, the goal is to create a more youthful appearance by removing excess fat from around the mouth and chin area.
Buccal Fat Removal surgery can be done in conjunction with another procedure such as rhinoplasty or face-lifting surgery.
Buccal Fat Removal surgery can be done in conjunction with another procedure such as rhinoplasty or face-lifting surgery.
Buccal Fat Removal is also known as liposuction of the buccal fat pad. It is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from under the cheekbones and jaw line area. Buccal Fat Removal can improve the contour of your jawline which results in a more defined facial appearance.
The buccal fat pad is a layer of subcutaneous tissue that lies directly below your skin around your cheeks and mouth area (also known as the ‘soft tissue’ beneath your face). The buccal fat pad can accumulate as we age, causing our faces to look fuller than they used to be. This accumulation of fat may create sagging skin around the lower part of our faces, particularly around our cheeks and lower jaws.
Although there are many ways to reduce facial volume, Buccal Fat Removal surgery is one of the most effective methods for achieving this goal because it targets specific areas of body tissue rather than just reducing overall body weight (which may not work if you have excess fat in other parts of your body).
What is Bichectomy?
Bichectomy is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the face. It can also be referred to as buccal fat removal, cheek reduction, or facial liposuction.
Bichectomy is an invasive surgical procedure that works by removing unwanted fat deposits from the cheeks, chin, jawline and neck area.
Bichectomy is a popular cosmetic procedure for people seeking an alternative to traditional liposuction or laser treatments for facial fat reduction. The procedure involves making small incisions in the mouth and removing part of the cheek and underlying tissue through these incisions. The remaining tissue is then repositioned to create a more defined jawline and contoured face.
Patients who undergo bichectomy report less pain than those who undergo traditional liposuction because there are no invasive incisions made on their body; only small incisions are made in the mouth. In addition, patients can resume normal activities much sooner after bichectomy than after traditional liposuction due to its minimal downtime (only one day).
Why is bichectomy also known as buccal fat removal?
The term bichectomy is derived from the words ‘bicuspid’ and ‘cheek’. It is a surgical procedure for removal of excess fat from the cheeks. It is also known as buccal fat removal.
The purpose of this surgery is to reduce fat surrounding your face. The procedure involves removing small amounts of fat from your upper and lower lips, cheeks, chin and neck. It may be performed in conjunction with other facial cosmetic surgeries such as facelift or rhinoplasty.
Bichectomy can also be done without any other surgical intervention, if you are only looking to get rid of some extra fat around your face. You can also opt for this procedure if you want to look younger or thinner.
This procedure requires general anesthesia so it is not suitable for patients who cannot tolerate general anesthesia due to medical conditions such as heart disease or high blood pressure.
Bichectomy might increase the risk of bleeding during surgery because there are blood vessels present under the skin in these areas.
How much fat is removed in the bichectomy procedure?
The amount of fat removed in the bichectomy procedure depends on a number of factors. The most important factor is the amount of fat that needs to be removed for you to achieve your goals. A second factor is how much excess skin you have in the area that needs to be treated. If you have more skin than fat, then we will remove some skin in addition to the fat.
The amount of pain after bichectomy depends on many factors, such as how much excess skin there is and if there are any complications. We can help you manage pain with medications like Percocet or Vicodin, if needed. Most patients start feeling better within a week and back to work within 10 days after surgery.
Is weight gain a disadvantage of bichectomy?
Bichectomy is a procedure to remove excess fat from the cheeks, or buccal area. This is an outpatient procedure where a small incision is made in the mouth below each corner of the upper lip. The surgeon will then extract the fat with a special tool that does not require sutures.
There is no evidence to suggest that weight gain occurs after buccal fat removal. The reason for this is because most people who undergo bichectomy have already lost weight before the procedure and therefore would not see any additional weight gain afterwards.
Will bichectomy make a person’s face look unnatural or abnormal?
A bichectomy is a surgical procedure that removes excess cheek fat. The cheekbone is the bone that forms the outer surface of your face. Excess cheek fat can result in a jowly appearance, which can make you look older than you are.
The procedure involves removing part of the bony area under each cheekbone and then filling in the defect with tissue taken from other areas of your body. This tissue may include fat or muscle tissue.
Will bichectomy make a person’s face look unnatural or abnormal?
Bichectomy is an effective way to improve facial contours and correct facial aging changes such as jowls or turkey neck. It corrects these defects by removing fat from under the cheekbones and then re-injecting it into other areas of the face where it is needed, such as around the mouth or chin area. It does not produce any noticeable scarring on the face since there are no incisions made onto skin surface during surgery.
How to prepare for Bichectomy?
Before the procedure, you will be given instructions on how to prepare for your Bichectomy. The following is a list of steps that you can take to prepare:
Stress reduction and exercise. Learn how to manage stress, which can be very helpful during recovery. Also, do some light exercise before the surgery.
Stop smoking. If you smoke, it’s important that you quit at least two weeks before your procedure. Smoking can increase the risk of complications after surgery.
Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. A healthy diet can help speed up your recovery after surgery by providing nutrients needed to repair tissues after surgery.
Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated helps keep your tissues healthy and prevents infection during recovery time after surgery.
Take any prescribed medications as directed by your doctor or pharmacist (at least one week prior).
What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about Bichectomy ?
The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate for Bichectomy is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your doctor will evaluate your anatomy and explain the procedure in detail.
At the consultation, you’ll want to ask:
What can I expect during recovery?
How long is the recovery process?
How much bruising or swelling should I expect?
Will I need a follow-up appointment with my plastic surgeon?
How much experience does my doctor have performing Bichectomy ?
How long does it take for the results of a Bichectomy surgery to appear?
The results of a Bichectomy surgery are visible immediately after the surgery. The patient will notice that the area has become much firmer and more contoured. The results are long-lasting, however, the patient must be aware that some re-accumulation of fat may occur over time.
The recovery period after the Bichectomy surgery is relatively short. Most patients can go back to their normal activities within a few days and resume their regular diet in about two weeks. They also need to avoid smoking because it increases the risk of complications from surgery.
The Bichectomy surgery should not be performed on patients who smoke or have serious health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Who is a good candidate for Bichectomy ?
Bichectomy is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the upper lip, chin and cheeks. The procedure is also known as buccal fat removal (BFR) or liposuction of the face.
Bichectomy is a good option for patients who want to improve their facial profile without undergoing an invasive surgery such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Bichectomy can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose surgery).
BFR is usually done under local anesthesia and requires no incisions to be made on the face. A cannula (thin tube) is inserted through the mouth into the submental area (underneath the chin) where excess fat has accumulated. The cannula is then used to suction out fat cells from this area through a small opening (hole). Depending on your needs, BFR can be performed once or multiple times over time to achieve desired results.
Why do people need a Buccal Fat Removal Surgery?
Buccal fat pads are located in the cheek area, and they can make your smile look less attractive.
The main reason for getting a buccal fat pad removal is to improve the overall appearance of your face. A common complaint among patients is that they have excess fat in their cheeks or jowls that makes them look older than their years. The procedure is also known as a facial contouring surgery or cheek reduction surgery.
The most common reason for having this type of surgery is to address problems with facial aging. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume. This causes many people to develop unsightly jowls or double chins which can be difficult to remove through diet and exercise alone.
Buccal Fat Removal Surgery can help you regain your youthful appearance by removing excess fat from the cheeks, jawline, and neck areas. This type of surgery is also known as a ‘cheek lift’ or ‘face lift’ depending on exactly where the procedure takes place.
What to expect after a Buccal Fat Removal Surgery?
Buccal Fat Removal is one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery today. It is a relatively simple operation that can be performed under local anaesthesia with minimal risk. The procedure takes about 1 hour and the patient can return home the same day.
What to expect after a Buccal Fat Removal Surgery?
The first few days after surgery are uncomfortable, but this will subside quickly. You may experience some swelling around your mouth or numbness in your chin which will slowly resolve over time. A majority of patients notice an improvement in their profile within 2 weeks and full benefit is evident after 6 weeks.
The Bichectomy procedure can reduce the fat around your mouth by up to 50% and give you a more defined jawline and chin contour by removing excess tissue from the area underneath your lower lip, which is called buccal fat pad. The procedure involves making an incision inside your mouth (using local anesthesia), removing excess fat and suturing it closed again.
