Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)

Buccal fat removal, also known as bichectomy or cheek fat reduction, is a small cosmetic operation that slims the lower and middle face by removing part of the buccal fat pads, the rounded cushions of fat that sit deep within each cheek. By reducing this volume, the procedure brings out the natural line of the cheekbones and the jaw, giving the face a more sculpted and defined contour. Because the work is done entirely through tiny incisions inside the mouth, it leaves no visible scar on the skin. Many people travel abroad for this kind of facial contouring to reach experienced aesthetic surgical teams, shorter waiting times and the chance to recover quietly, away from everyday life.
