Buccal Fat Removal: Cheek Slimming Surgery

Buccal fat removal, also known as bichectomy or cheek reduction surgery, is a procedure that reduces excess fat pads from the cheeks which is also called the Bichat’s fat pad through small incisions inside the mouth. Performed under local anesthesia, the surgery typically takes 20-30 minutes and leaves no visible external scars.

Buccal fat removal (bichectomy) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces cheek fullness. This surgery creates more defined cheekbones and a slimmer lower facial appearance.
