Bichectomy Surgery

Bichectomy Surgery in Turkey

Bichectomy is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the cheeks. Some people complain about the round and plump appearance of their cheeks. Indeed, fat cheeks, which cause an excessively round appearance on the face, disrupt the natural oval shape of the face and negatively affect the aesthetic appearance. The fat appearance of the cheeks is caused by the excess fat tissues in the lower part of the cheek. With bichectomy, also known as cheek thinning aesthetics, a more attractive facial appearance is obtained by intervening fat bags on the cheeks. The procedure is performed with a very small incision (4 mm) in the oral mucosa. It is a safe, fast and permanent operation.
