Bichectomy Surgery

Bichectomy surgery is the surgical removal of some of the cheek sebaceous glands in the face area. This surgery is used to change the shape, size or prominence of the face and is usually preferred to reduce the excess fullness of the cheeks. Bichectomy surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The procedure involves removing some of the cheek sebaceous glands by making a small incision on the inside of the cheeks. This process usually takes an hour or less.

The advantages of bichectomy surgery may include making the face appear thinner or more contoured, reducing the fullness of the cheeks and obtaining a younger appearance. However, this surgery also has some risks. These may include infection, bleeding, facial nerve damage, asymmetry, or a change in facial shape.

The recovery process after surgery can vary, but it usually takes a few days. During the healing process, swelling of the face, pain and discomfort are normal. It is important to follow the instructions given by your doctor after the surgery to speed up the healing process and reduce the risks. Bichectomy surgery is an effective option for reducing the fullness in the face area and obtaining a more contoured appearance. However, it's important to speak to a specialist and learn about the risks and benefits to determine if surgery is right for your individual needs.
