In some people, fullness in the cheeks persists no matter how much weight they lose. This is due to "Bichat" fat pads. Bichectomy is the procedure of removing these fat pads.
About the Procedure
- Performed entirely inside the mouth, no external scars.
- Takes about 30-40 minutes under local anesthesia.
- Recovery process is very comfortable.
As a result, cheekbones become more prominent, and the face takes on a "V" shape, appearing thinner and more attractive (Hollywood Cheek).
