General Description
The reduction of the Bichat bags or bichectomy, is one of the latest trends in cosmetic surgery operations. One of the factors that can justify this boom is that more and more actresses and celebrities are undergoing this procedure with the intention of reducing the volume of their cheeks and refining their face. The demand for the reduction of Bichat Balls continues to grow, which is why it is considered one of the star treatments.
What is bichectomy?
Bichat bags are a deposit of fat located in the region of the cheekbones or "cheeks", this fat increases with weight gain. To achieve a sharper face there is the so-called bichectomy, an intervention that consists of removing or removing the Bichat Balls. The operation is final and lasts approximately half an hour. They are located and isolated from the rest of the body fat, so it is a definitive intervention since they do not develop again. The bichectomy is usually performed with local anesthesia and does not leave scars since they are internal.
Who can have a bichectomy?
It is not a recommended technique for all faces since in some cases, the thinning of the cheeks can result in an older face. The patients who benefit from this intervention are those who have round faces and large cheeks and who, despite losing weight, are unable to refine their facial oval. The bichetomy is also an excellent technique to highlight the cheekbones, giving a more attractive appearance and bringing light to the malar area. 75% of the patients who have undergone this technique are women, the majority between 30 and 55 years old, and 25% are men of the same age group.
How to choose my surgeon?
As in any surgical procedure, it is very important that your surgeon is a certified professional and has the necessary experience to perform the procedure. Plastic and aesthetic surgeons are the most suitable professionals to perform this intervention due to their great knowledge of the anatomy and functionality of the face and neck. It is also important to see before and after photos of your bichetomy interventions, as well as resolve any questions with the specialist. Both he and his team and facilities must give you confidence and security.
How is the intervention carried out?
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately 30 minutes. With regard to anesthesia, some surgeons prefer general anesthesia for greater patient comfort, and others prefer local anesthesia. Do not hesitate to talk to your surgeon, he will suggest the solution that best suits your needs and your case. The procedure itself is quite simple, the surgeon makes a 5 millimeter incision inside the mouth and removes a part of the Bichat Balls. Next, he will put in one or two absorbable stitches. As the incision is made inside the mouth, no scar will be visible and the results will be very natural.
The results
With the bichectomy it is possible to refine and lengthen the face since with the extraction of the Bichat Balls the roundness of the cheeks is eliminated and the cheekbones are highlighted. On the other hand, being a minimally invasive technique, the results are natural and the recovery times are very fast. Keep in mind that once the fat has been removed, it cannot be repositioned again. Yes, there are techniques such as, for example, lipofilling, which with the patient's fat allows to increase the volume of the face.
Complications or possible side effects
Although the risks are rare, some complication may appear. As with any intervention, the main risks are related to anesthesia. There is also a risk of facial paralysis, as Bichat Balls are close to a facial nerve that could be damaged during surgery. This intervention must be carried out in an accredited center and by a plastic surgeon accustomed to handling the oral cavity and with perfect knowledge of facial anatomy, since in the wrong hands it can have consequences such as producing injuries to the duct that conducts saliva from the parotid gland towards the mouth, or lesions in any of the branches of the facial nerve.
