Medical Background: A Deep Medical Understanding

What is Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy Cheek Sculpting)?

Buccal fat removal, also known as the “Bichectomy” technique or Buccal Fat Pad Removal, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing the volume of fat tissue located in the cheek area.

These fat pads, called the buccal fat pads, are located deep within the cheeks and significantly affect the shape of the face. In some people, this fat is more prominent, giving the face a full or rounded appearance, which may hide the definition of the jaw angles and cheekbones.

Causes and Factors Contributing to Full Cheeks:

Genetics: Genetic factors play a significant role in determining the amount and distribution of fat in the face, including the buccal fat pads.
Weight Gain: General weight gain can lead to fat accumulation in various parts of the body, including the face.
Hormonal Changes: Some hormonal changes can affect the distribution of fat in the body and face.
Aging: With age, the facial structure and fat distribution may change, making the buccal fat pads more prominent.

Symptoms of Full Cheeks:

Fullness of the cheeks is not considered a “symptom” in the medical sense, but it is a physical appearance that patients typically describe with the following characteristics:

A round or excessively full face, even if body weight is normal.
Lack of definition in features, such as the cheekbones and jawline.
Difficulty achieving a sculpted facial shape through exercise or diet.
An impact on self-confidence and feelings of attractiveness.

Diagnosis:

The need for buccal fat removal or buccal fat pad removal is typically diagnosed through:

Clinical Examination: The doctor assesses the size and thickness of the fat tissue and observes the overall facial symmetry.
Consultation with the Patient: The doctor discusses the patient’s goals and expectations.
Photographs: Pictures are taken to document the condition and evaluate the expected results.

Latest Research Updates:

Recent studies indicate a growing focus on minimally invasive techniques to achieve natural and precise results. Researchers are concentrating on improving fat removal techniques to reduce recovery time and increase patient satisfaction.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Buccal Fat Removal?

Identifying the right candidate is key to achieving the best results and avoiding any surprises. Generally, buccal fat removal is suitable for people who:

Suffer from bothersome fullness in their cheeks that gives them a round or full appearance.
Have relatively stable weights and are in good general health.
Have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure.
Are free from chronic diseases that could affect healing or increase surgical risks.
Are non-smokers or are able to quit smoking.

Who may not be a suitable candidate?

Individuals with severe skin sagging.
Individuals with active eating disorders.
Individuals with unstable chronic health problems.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Preparing for Buccal Fat Removal in Turkey: Your First Step Towards Transformation

To ensure a successful and safe treatment experience, preparation begins even before you arrive in Turkey. At “Health & Beauty Turkey,” we provide you with a comprehensive guide to assist you every step of the way.

Before Travel:

Remote Initial Consultation: We will ask you for photos of your face for a preliminary assessment of your condition.
Detailed Medical History: You will be asked to provide detailed information about your medical history.
Scheduling an Appointment: We will help you arrange your appointment with the doctor in Turkey.
Booking Travel and Accommodation: Our team will assist you in arranging your flight and accommodation bookings.

Medical Examinations:

Upon your arrival in Turkey and before the procedure, you will undergo a series of medical tests to ensure you are fully prepared:

Complete blood count.
Electrocardiogram (ECG).
Additional tests that the doctor may request.

Health Tips and Lifestyle Adjustments:

Stop Smoking: It is strongly recommended to stop smoking before and after the procedure.
Avoid Certain Medications and Supplements: You may be asked to stop taking certain medications that could increase the risk of bleeding.
Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced and healthy diet.
Hydration: Drink sufficient amounts of water.

Before the Operation

On the day of the procedure, you will meet with the doctor again to discuss all the details, answer any final questions, and conduct a final examination. The doctor will make precise markings on the treatment areas.

Photographs of your face will be taken from different angles to document your condition before starting. The appropriate type of anesthesia will be determined based on the complexity of the procedure, your health condition, and your preferences.

During the Operation

The technique used depends on each patient’s condition, but it typically involves the selective removal of the buccal fat pads. At “Health & Beauty Turkey,” our doctors tend to prefer the surgical approach for more precise and defined results.

Surgical Techniques (Most Common):

Small Incisions Inside the Mouth: The surgeon makes a very small incision inside the mouth, in the cheek area, which means there are no visible scars on the skin’s surface.
Accessing the Fat Pad: Through the incision, the surgeon reaches the buccal fat pad.
Fat Removal: The surgeon carefully removes a specific amount of fat. The goal is to remove the excess portion causing the fullness while leaving enough to maintain a natural and youthful appearance.
Suturing (Optional): In some cases, the surgeon may close the internal incision with a few absorbable stitches.

Non-Surgical Techniques (Alternatives that may be less effective in severe cases):

There are non-surgical techniques that target fat reduction in the cheek area, such as injections to dissolve fat or treatment with ultrasound or radiofrequency, but their effectiveness on buccal fat pads may be limited compared to surgical removal.

After the Operation and Recovery Period

After the procedure is complete, you will spend some time under observation in the recovery room to ensure your condition is stable. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. You will be provided with instructions on how to care for the area, and painkillers and antibiotics may be prescribed.

You will be instructed on:

Avoiding solid foods and eating soft or liquid foods for a few days.
Maintaining oral hygiene using the recommended mouthwash.
Using cold compresses to help reduce swelling.
Wearing a light compression garment around the face for several days (optional).

Recovery Period:

The recovery process requires some patience, but the results are worth it. In the first few days, swelling and bruising are at their peak. During the first week, the swelling and bruising begin to subside gradually.

After one to four weeks, most of the swelling has disappeared, and the initial results become apparent. You can return to more strenuous daily activities, but there are still restrictions on intense exercise.

From one to three months, the results continue to improve as any remaining swelling disappears, and the features become fully defined. The slim and sculpted shape of the cheeks becomes clearly visible.

Semi-final results may appear after a few weeks, but the final shape of the face and feature definition can take from 3 to 6 months to fully emerge.
