Bichectomy Turkey consists in partially removing the Bichat balls in order to dig the cheeks, just under the cheekbones. The contour of the face becomes more angular and the cheekbones more prominent. However, it is not advisable to reduce too much the Bichat balls.
The Bichat ball (also called Bichat’s adipose pad, oral adipose pad or even Bichat’s fatty ball) is a mass of fat at the base of each side of the face located more precisely under the cheek bone and above the lower jaw.
Bichectomy realized in Turkey is a plastic surgery which is usually performed under local anaesthesia, but can also be performed under intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia. As the Bichat balls are located behind the chewing muscles, deep in the cheeks, on either side of the face, the intraoral approach is generally recommended.
There are therefore no scars. An incision of less than 1 cm is made on each side in the cheek at the level of the molars. Through this incision, the membrane surrounding the Bichat ball is pierced, then the desired amount of fat is gently removed. The incision is then sutured with a resorbable thread. The duration of the bichectomy Turkey is less than 1 hour.
Upon completion of the bichectomy Turkey, the patient can return home to rest. A medication is prescribed after the surgery based on antibiotics, corticosteroids, and painkillers.
Recovery is about 3 to 7 days, the necessary time for the post-operative hematoma to disappear.
On thin skin and dry face, the result of the bichectomy Turkey is quickly visible in approximately 1 month, the necessary time for the edema to be resolved and the skin to be clear.
For oilier faces or heavier skins, it will take about 3 months to appreciate the result.
Like any another plastic procedure, the cost bichectomy Turkey may vary from one country to another. In Turkey, you can find very competitive prices.
