What is Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal)?

Bichectomy, often referred to as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to remove the buccal fat pads that gather between the cheekbones and jawbones. The main goal of buccal fat removal is to slim down and enhance the bone structure of the face, particularly the cheekbones and cheek hollow area, which connects the cheeks and jawline. Thus, the surgical procedure is also called a cheek reduction. This procedure combined with jawline fillers in Turkey may give your face a more defined appearance.

Before / After Photos of Our Customers

The photos show before-after versions of our patients, who underwent the tummy tuck Turkey procedure. As seen in the before photos, there was significant sagging and excess fat accumulation in the patients’ abdominal areas. After the tummy tuck operation, the abdomen has a flatter and tighter appearance thanks to the removal of excess skin and fat. As a result of the tightening of the abdominal muscles, patients’ body shapes have become more countered and prominent. These transformations indicate successful procedures, achieving the desired look for each patient.

What is the Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal) Procedure?

The following stages are included in the buccal fat removal Turkey operation carried out by qualified experts:

  • Mostly local anesthesia will be delivered by an anesthesiologist. General anesthesia may also be available on occasion.
