Bichectomy

Buccal Fat Pad Removal, also known as Bichectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the cheeks to enhance facial contours and create a more sculpted, slimmer appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a defined, youthful look by reducing the fullness in the lower face. At Dr. Raja Fakhoury Clinic, we offer personalized care and advanced techniques to deliver natural and harmonious results.

Procedure Details

Bichectomy procedure involves making small incisions inside the mouth, allowing access to the buccal fat pads without visible scarring. Fat is carefully removed from the cheeks to contour the face and provide a more chiseled, slimmer look. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the process.

Steps of the Surgery

1. Consultation: During the consultation, Dr. Fakhoury will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Bichectomy is suitable for you.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to the inside of the mouth to ensure comfort.
3. Incisions: Small incisions are made inside the mouth, near the back of the upper jaw.

5. Closure: Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and the recovery process begins.
