A bichectomy, also known as the Hollywood Cheek procedure or buccal fat pad removal, is the surgical removal of buccal fat pads located in the cheeks. With the ability to surgically sculpt your features via this procedure, you can achieve more angular and defined facial contours by removing stubborn cheek fat — forever!
In terms of surgical procedures, a bichectomy procedure is quick and relatively painless. The entire process takes around one hour and includes applying a local anesthetic, creating a small incision in the cheek, and removing the buccal fat pads through the open incision.After the fat pads are removed, the cut is sutured up and the patient is released with care instructions for the coming weeks.
Before surgery, you will be required to undergo a consultation in which you discuss your goals, medical history, and more with a professional. Your provider will also require at least one followup after the bichectomy to examine the healing process of the incisions as well as the cosmetic appearance of the scars.
When performed by an experienced and reputable surgeon, a Bichectomy is a very safe procedure and will not cause any lasting side effects or damage, except for in rare cases. If you experience pain, bleeding, numbness, or suspect an infection, consult your physician.
