Cheek reduction aesthetics
There are buccal fat pillows in the natural structure of the cheeks, and as a person gets older, these fat pillows intensify and a chubby-cheeked appearance appears. This is an area of fat that is difficult to lose after accumulation. The cheek fat removal (bicectomy) procedure targets these buccal fat pads.
Buccal fat reduction is a procedure applied to the cheeks. It is applied to remove excessive lubrication on the cheeks for various reasons. It is a technique performed with minimal invasive. Incisions are opened from the inside of the mouth. Therefore, there is no trace visible from the outside.
The area targeted by the bisectomy is the buccal fat pillow located in the cheek, and small incisions are opened from the inside of the mouth. Then, excessive fat accumulation on the cheeks is removed by liposuction method. The procedure takes about an hour and is performed under general anesthesia or conscious sedation, i.e. local anesthesia.
The healing process is short
The healing processes differ according to the technique applied in cheek reduction aesthetics and the overall skin structure of the person. For a few days, slight pain may be felt in the chewing muscles while making chewing movements. The final results of the procedure may take several weeks to appear. The results of the cheek fat removal process are permanent. For this reason, a very good research should be done before deciding on the operation and detailed information about the entire process should be obtained from the plastic surgeon. Although the healing process is shorter in cheek fat removal compared to other surgical techniques, there is still a need for a certain healing process. The most important issue to remember is that, as with all surgical procedures, the healing process in this procedure differs from person to person.
In order for the healing process to pass faster, it is necessary to cut off cigarette and alcohol consumption for at least a week before the operation. Medications that have blood thinning properties, such as aspirin, should not be used before the operation.
