Bichectomy Surgery

What is Bichectomy Surgery?

Bichectomy Surgery : Bichectomy is a surgical procedure performed for people who want to define facial lines and achieve a thinner face profile. Also known as Hollywood cheek among the public, this application is performed by removing the bichat fat pads located in the cheek area. When performed with the correct technique, the face acquires a more elegant, contoured and aesthetic appearance. It has become quite popular especially for people working in front of cameras, artists or individuals who want to look photogenic.

Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal adopts the principle of performing bichectomy surgery while preserving the general structure of the face and without disturbing the natural balance. Thanks to this surgery, patients experience a visible change that is far from exaggeration.

Why is Bichectomy Surgery Needed?

Some people’s facial structure is genetically fuller and rounder. Even if weight is lost, the fullness in the cheek area can often be permanent. This situation can give the person a heavier appearance than they actually are and can overshadow the definition of facial lines. Bichectomy is a very effective solution especially for people who want prominent cheekbones and a sharp jawline.

In addition, as facial lines become more defined, the person’s general facial expression appears more energetic, younger and more dynamic. Bichectomy is not just an aesthetic procedure, but a transformation process that increases the person’s self-confidence and provides natural refinement to their face.

What Kind of Appearance is Created on the Face After Bichectomy?

When applied correctly, bichectomy never creates an artificial or exaggerated change in the face. On the contrary, by reducing unnecessary fullness in the cheek area, the natural beauty of facial lines is revealed. After this procedure, cheekbones become more prominent, the jawline becomes clearer and the face profile acquires a more balanced form.

In Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal’s approach, the main goal is to provide natural and timeless beauty that is most suitable for the person’s facial structure. Therefore, after surgery, your face not only becomes thinner, but also gains a more symmetrical and aesthetic appearance.

Why is Doctor Selection Important in Bichectomy Surgery?

The face is one of the most striking and characteristic areas of the human body. Therefore, any intervention to be made in facial aesthetics requires detailed planning and expertise. Bichectomy is a procedure that seems simple but actually requires serious facial analysis and surgical knowledge accumulation.

Doctor selection is extremely critical at this point. Incorrectly performed bichectomy can disrupt the natural structure of the face and lead to irreversible aesthetic problems. Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal makes special planning for each patient with his deep knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetic perspective. This approach ensures the preservation of functional health while making it possible to achieve an aesthetic appearance compatible with the natural balance of the face.

Pre-Surgery Planning Process

Every bichectomy surgery begins with a detailed evaluation process specific to the individual. Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal analyzes his patients’ facial proportions, bone structure and general facial aesthetics in detail. As a result of this analysis, it is determined whether the amount of fat in the cheek area is suitable for removal and at what rate an intervention should be made.

In the pre-operative interview, the patient’s expectations, how the change in their face will be and when the results will appear are shared clearly and understandably. In this way, all questions of patients are answered before surgery and a complete atmosphere of trust is created about the process.

How is Bichectomy Surgery Performed?

Bichectomy surgery is a comfortable procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. The bichat fat pads inside the cheek are removed through a small incision made from inside the mouth. Since this incision is not visible from the outside, no scar remains after surgery.

During the procedure, only the targeted fat tissue is removed without damaging other structures of the face. Thanks to the technique applied by Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal, both the operation process and the healing process are extremely comfortable.

Factors Affecting Bichectomy Prices

The prices of bichectomy surgery may vary according to each individual and the technical details to be applied. Among the most important factors affecting prices are the surgeon’s experience, the equipment of the hospital where the surgery will be performed, and other aesthetic procedures to be applied along with the surgery.

Especially in facial aesthetics, instead of bichectomy alone, sometimes combined procedures such as chin filler to define the jawline, almond eye aesthetics or fat injection to the face may be recommended. All these details are the main reason why pricing is personalized.

Recovery Process After Bichectomy Surgery

It is extremely normal to see slight swelling and edema in the cheeks for the first few days after surgery. This process passes quickly and healing begins rapidly. Since there are intraoral incisions, paying attention to oral hygiene as recommended by the doctor minimizes the risk of infection.

Usually patients can return to their daily lives within a few days. Most of the swelling decreases within the first week and the face begins to look thinner and clearer within approximately 2-3 weeks. However, the final results to settle and the face contour to fully form may take 1-2 months.

Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal follows the post-operative process very closely and provides all necessary care and control support to his patients. All details that patients need to pay attention to during this process are carefully conveyed.

In Conclusion

Bichectomy is an effective and reliable surgical method for those who want to define facial lines and achieve a more balanced, more aesthetic appearance. Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal, who specializes in this field, makes personalized planning for each patient and aims to achieve natural and face-compatible results within safe surgical limits. In this transformation journey that will reveal the natural beauty of your face, choosing the right surgeon and correct planning is the most important step.
