Bichectomy

Bichectomy or jugal lipectomy is the surgical intervention which allows for the extraction of the bichat balls – fat balls – accumulated in the cheek area.The extraction is done in a simple way and without interfering with the normal functioning of the face through a small incision inside the mouth (next to the molar teeth), and is therefore a surgery that is not associated with exposed scars.

The demand for this surgical intervention has increased over the years by patients with a very round face, who, by reducing the volume of the cheeks, can obtain a slimmer face with greater projection of the cheekbones.

Surgical time: 30 minutes
