HOLLYWOOD CHEEK
A bichectomy refers to the removal of excess cheek fat to highlight the cheekbones and proportion facial contours.
A narrow face with distinctive lines is part of the ideal appearance for most people. Sometimes a full face or cheek structure, even in people of ideal weight, can make them appear overweight. Bichectomy makes it possible to sculpt the face by removing excess fatty tissue in the cheek region without visible scars.
To give the face a more attractive and proportional appearance, fat is removed from the inside of the cheeks, thus correcting the unpleasant and overweight appearance. This procedure, also known as Hollywood cheek because it is also preferred by Hollywood stars, highlights the cheekbones, giving the face a thinner and youthful appearance.
During bichectomy, the cheek thinning aesthetic, around 40-50% of the fat in this region (in the mouth area) is removed using a 1 cm incision. This easy and painless surgical procedure can be carried out under local anesthesia or in twilight sleep and takes approximately 45 minutes.
RISKS AND RECOVERY
It is completely normal for edema and swelling to occur at the surgical site for 2-3 weeks after cheek aesthetic surgery. Cold compresses help keep swelling and edema under control. Most patients can return to their social life immediately after the procedure. Final results of the procedure can only be seen after three weeks.
