Bichectomy – how does the removal of Bichat's pads shape the facial contour? A comparison of effects across various facial types

Introduction

Bichectomy, the procedure for removing Bichat's fat pads, is becoming increasingly popular among individuals seeking to sharpen their facial features. It is a relatively minimally invasive procedure that helps achieve a slimmer, more defined facial oval. The procedure is intended for both women and men who struggle with a chubby face or wish to give it a more defined contour.

What does bichectomy involve?

Bichectomy is the surgical removal of fat pads located in the buccal space. The procedure is most commonly performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars on the skin.

Stages of the procedure:

• local anesthesia
• Incision of the buccal mucosa,
• gentle removal of the fat pad,
• Application of absorbable sutures

The procedure takes approximately 30–60 minutes.

Who is bichectomy suitable for?

Indications for the procedure:

• round, chubby-cheeked face,
• Lack of a distinct contour of the cheeks,
• the desire for a more slender facial oval
• asymmetry of the cheeks

Contraindications:

• very thin face,
• systemic diseases,
• blood clotting disorders,
• Active oral infections.

How does bichectomy shape the facial contour for different facial types?

In people with round faces

The effect after the treatment is most visible. The facial oval becomes more defined, the cheeks gain better definition.

For people with a square face

The procedure can subtly slim the lower part of the face, accentuating the jawline.

For people with a triangular face

Buccal fat removal is less often recommended so as not to overly accentuate the lower part of the face.

In people with a long face

It can lead to excessive slimming and a 'sunken' cheek effect – caution is advised here.
