The bichectomy is an aesthetic surgical procedure that involves the partial removal of the Bichat's fat pads, which are accumulations of fat located in the middle part of the cheeks, with the aim of slimming and defining the facial contour.
It is performed through a small incision inside the mouth, so it does not leave visible external scars. The result is a face with a more streamlined appearance and greater definition in the cheekbone and jawline area.
It is a procedure indicated for people who wish to reduce the volume of the cheeks when it does not respond to weight loss and who seek a more defined and harmonious facial profile.
Types of Bichat Ball Augmentation with Surgery
A small incision is made inside the mouth, usually at the level of the inner cheek mucosa. Through this opening, the Bichat ball is accessed and partially extracted. It leaves no visible external scars.

Instead of removing all the fat, the specialist extracts only a part to avoid a too sunken or aged appearance.

In some cases, it is performed alongside other surgeries or aesthetic treatments (for example, facial harmonization), aiming to improve the overall contour of the face.

The bichectomy is performed through a small incision inside the mouth, at the level of the cheeks, allowing access to the Bichat balls without leaving visible external scars. Through this opening, a controlled portion of the fatty tissue is extracted, adjusting the amount to each person's facial structure to achieve a balanced and natural result. It is an outpatient procedure, usually with local anesthesia and of short duration.

Before Bichat ball surgery, an assessment is conducted with the surgeon who will perform the procedure. During this consultation, the facial structure is analyzed to determine if the procedure is suitable for achieving a harmonious result. To book the appointment, a prior payment of €80 is required.

Like any surgical procedure, bichectomy can carry certain risks, although they are rare when performed by qualified professionals and after a proper prior assessment. Possible complications include prolonged swelling, bruising, infection, asymmetries, or temporary alterations in sensitivity in the treated area. In exceptional cases, injury to nearby structures may occur if the technique is not performed properly.
Following pre and postoperative instructions, maintaining proper oral hygiene, and attending scheduled check-ups helps minimize risks and promote safe and progressive recovery.
