Bichectomy, or Buccal Fat Removal, is a facial refinement procedure designed to slim the face. It consists of the precise removal of the buccal fat pads to reduce cheek volume, achieving a more defined contour, more prominent cheekbones, and a less rounded appearance.
This procedure must be performed exclusively by a board-certified plastic surgeon with expert knowledge of facial anatomy. In Colombia, bichectomy is a refinement technique performed by 64.6% of certified plastic surgeons, ensuring a high level of experience in cheek contouring.
It is a minimally invasive, quick procedure with permanent results. Here are the key points:
- Modern and Popular Procedure: Over 229,000 bichectomies were performed worldwide in 2024, establishing it as one of the most requested facial contouring surgeries.
- No Visible Scars: The incision is small and made on the inside of the mouth, so it does not leave any external scars on the skin.
- Fast Recovery: It is generally performed under local anesthesia, and most patients return to their normal activities in 2 to 3 days.
- Permanent Results: The improvement is permanent, as the removed fat does not regenerate. The result is a noticeable yet completely natural-looking facial slimming.
