Although bichectomy surgery is a surgery that is suitable for all ages and genders, 25 years of age is considered the lower age limit when the person's facial development is completed. After the age of 25, there is no significant change in the face as the facial features settle. Bichectomy surgery is a suitable surgery for people who appear overweight because they have a lot of fat on their cheeks. Especially people whose facial features are not suitable for their body structure can achieve sharper and more proportionate facial lines with bichectomy surgery. Men with full cheeks are also suitable candidates for bichectomy surgery, just like women.

Bichectomy surgery, which is performed to thin the cheeks and give the person a sharp, attractive facial line, is performed under local or general anesthesia. This surgery is performed by removing the fat pads between the chewing muscles. 40% of the fat is removed through a 1 cm incision inside the mouth. The small stitches used in bichectomy surgery, which takes approximately 45 minutes, fall off on their own.

There is no need to stay in hospital after the surgery. Patients are discharged after a short rest period. Since oral hygiene is very important during the recovery period of bichectomy surgery, teeth should be brushed and gargled regularly. The incision area heals within 1 week. However, it is normal to experience swelling and edema for 3 weeks after the surgery. In this case, cold applications to the cheek area as recommended by the doctor will reduce the swelling. If you smoke, you should take a break during this period. Bichectomy is a permanent procedure as a certain amount of fat tissue in the cheek is removed. Even if the person gains weight later, he does not look the same as before and the v shape on his face does not disappear.
