3 Things to Consider After Bichectomy
Bichectomy surgery removes the cheek fat pads, which are located on either side of the face, just below the cheekbones. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia, and the incisions are usually made inside the mouth or under the chin, so there is no visible scarring.

Bichectomy is often performed to create a slimmer, more chiseled facial appearance and enhance the overall contours of the face. It can be an effective way to improve the appearance of a “round face” or “chipmunk cheeks” and create a more youthful, refreshed look.
- The recovery time after a Bichectomy procedure varies depending on the individual and the extent of the treatment. Most people are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two, although strenuous exercise and activities should be avoided for several weeks.
- It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for aftercare to ensure the best possible results and to minimize the risk of complications.
- Do not smoke. Smoking can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications after a Bichectomy procedure. It is important to avoid smoking for at least a few weeks.
Combine Bichectomy with Canthoplasty
Bichectomy and Canthoplasty are two separate cosmetic procedures that can be used to improve the appearance of the face. A Bichectomy procedure involves removing the cheek fat pads, which are located on either side of the face, just below the cheekbones. This can help to create a slimmer, more chiseled appearance and enhance the overall contours of the face.
- Canthoplasty surgical procedure is used to alter the position or shape of the outer corners of the eyes. It is often performed to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance by lifting the outer corners of the eyes and reducing excess skin.
- Canthoplasty can also be used to correct asymmetry or other issues with the outer corners of the eyes. It is possible to combine Bichectomy with Canthoplasty as part of a full-face rejuvenation treatment.
- The decision to do so will depend on the individual’s goals and needs, and it is important to discuss your options with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.
