What is bichectomy and how does it work?

A bichectomy, is a type of cosmetic surgery that focuses on removing excess fat from the cheeks. Specifically, the procedure involves the removal of the Bichat balls, which are the fat bags located deep within the cheeks.

These pads often contribute to a round face, and their removal can lead to noticeable facial slimming and contouring, giving the face a more sculpted and defined look.

Dr. Marco Aurelio performs this minimally invasive surgical procedure without leaving visible scars. This small incision is made near the molars, giving the surgeon access to the fat pad. 

Because of the precise technique, the facial nerve remains completely safe during the process, ensuring that the plastic surgery is both effective and low-risk. The entire procedure can usually be completed in under an hour, and it is performed using local anesthesia, allowing for a comfortable and quick recovery.

Who are the ideal candidates for bichectomy? 

When it comes to enhancing facial contours and achieving a refined, sculpted look, buccal fat removal, or bichectomy, has become an increasingly popular procedure. 

But who makes the perfect candidate for this transformative surgery? Dr. Marco Aurelio, shares insights on the key characteristics that define an ideal patient for buccal fat removal.

Ideal candidates: Who benefits the most?

Not everyone seeking a slimmer face will benefit equally from buccal fat removal. Dr. Marco Aurelio emphasizes that the best candidates are individuals who have naturally fuller or rounder cheeks due to the presence of prominent buccal fat pads. 

This procedure is ideal for those who desire a more defined facial contour and wish to accentuate their cheekbones and jawline. It is especially beneficial for adults who feel that their full cheeks give them a youthful or “baby face” look that does not align with their desired mature appearance.

 

Physical characteristics of a good candidate

  • Fuller cheeks: Individuals with visibly plump cheeks that do not respond to weight loss are prime candidates for buccal fat removal. This procedure helps create a more angular, contoured look.

 

  • Stable weight: Candidates should have a stable weight and not plan significant weight fluctuations post operative, as dramatic weight changes can affect facial fat distribution and the long-term results.

 

  • Good overall health: A healthy lifestyle and the absence of significant health issues or conditions that could complicate surgery are essential for any cosmetic procedure.

Realistic expectations

Dr. Marco Aurelio stresses that ideal candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of bichectomy. While this surgery can beautifully enhance facial definition, it is not a substitute for a complete facial transformation. 

Patients should understand that subtlety is key and that the procedure is designed to highlight natural bone structure without making drastic changes.
