In addition to being a comfortable operation, there are many reasons for resorting to bichectomy surgery, which can be easily preferred because it provides a short recovery and is a practical procedure. The main reason why some of our patients want to have this surgery is their desire to achieve the V face form I mentioned earlier. Although cheek filling is often preferred to achieve the V face form, this may not always be enough. In such cases, the cheeks are also intervened and a V face form is obtained. Our patients who want to benefit from the young and dynamic appearance brought about by the V face shape often apply for bichectomy surgery.

Another reason why bichectomy is preferred is the unwanted fat accumulating on the cheek. Depending on our body structure and eating habits, our cheek area may become lubricated above normal. However, unlike many body parts, the fat in the cheek area cannot always be brought to normal levels with diet and sports. Bichectomy surgery is an effective solution for fatty tissues accumulated in the cheek area.

All men and women over the age of 20, who do not have a medical disability to undergo anesthesia and who complain of lubrication in the cheek area, are suitable candidates for bichectomy surgery.

The application is a practical procedure performed under local anesthesia and completed in an average of 30 minutes. Therefore, there is no need for an extensive preparation process. However, as in almost every operation, the use of blood thinners and smoking should be stopped about 10 days before the day of surgery. In addition, in this period, oral hygiene should be treated sensitively, oral care should be done correctly and effectively.

Oral hygiene is very important in bichectomy surgery, as the incision is made through the mouth.

Giving importance to oral care before and after the operation minimizes the possible risks of infection.

Bichectomy surgery is an operation that is performed safely and completed in a short time. Oral care is done before the day of surgery. Local anesthesia is then applied to the patient. Then, a small incision is made in the part of the mouth where the adipose tissue is, and the bichat fats are removed with the help of forceps. After the fat is removed, a mini suture is placed on the wound and the operation is completed. There is no need to stay in the hospital. After the operation, my patients can be discharged from the hospital on the same day.

Although the recovery period in bichectomy surgery may vary from patient to patient, as in many operations, it is an average of 2 weeks. Immediately after the operation, our patients can easily return to their social lives, but they should be extra sensitive about oral care for the first 2 weeks and should be fed with soft foods during this period. During this period, hard foods may deform the operated area.
