Bichectomy and Hollywood Cheek
Bichectomy and Hollywood Cheek Aesthetics
1 - What is Bichectomy and Hollywood Cheek Aesthetics?
Bichectomy is an aesthetic procedure that surgically removes excess fat tissue in the cheek area, highlighting facial features and creating a sharper jawline. This procedure makes the cheeks look thinner, giving a sharp facial appearance known as the “Hollywood cheek”. Individuals with genetically full cheek structure can have a more triangular and aesthetic facial form thanks to bichectomy. The procedure is performed through small incisions made on the inside of the cheek and does not leave any external scars. While bichectomy only shapes facial features by reducing fat tissue in the cheeks, a more balanced facial profile can be created with additional procedures such as jawline filling and chin aesthetics. It is a very popular procedure, especially among those who want a photogenic facial appearance. Bichectomy, which is performed in accordance with the person's facial structure without disrupting the natural proportions of the face, offers a permanent and distinct aesthetic result.
2 - How is Bichectomy and Hollywood Cheek Aesthetics Performed?
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30-45 minutes. During the procedure, a small incision is made inside the cheek to remove excess fat tissue and the incision is closed with self-dissolving stitches. Thanks to this technique, there are no external scars and the recovery process is quite comfortable. During the procedure, careful fat removal is performed in order not to damage the natural anatomy of the face.
Although bishectomy can usually be performed alone, for some patients it can be combined with jawline filling or chin aesthetics to make the facial features more balanced. In addition, for some patients, skin tightening procedures (radiofrequency or ultrasonic lifting) may be recommended due to excess skin in the cheek area. After bishectomy, more prominent cheekbones and a sharp jawline are formed on the face. Although the effects after the procedure are seen immediately, it is necessary to wait 3-6 months for the final results to fully settle. During this process, the facial tissues adapt to their new form and the skin tightens.
3 - Who is Suitable for Bichectomy and Hollywood Cheek Aesthetics?
Bichectomy is an ideal aesthetic procedure for individuals with genetically full or round facial structures who want to make their facial features sharper and more distinct. Individuals whose facial features are not prominent due to excess fat accumulation in the cheek area in particular can gain a more triangular and aesthetic appearance with this procedure. It is a procedure recommended for individuals aged 20 and over who have completed their facial development.
The facial anatomy of individuals considering bichectomy should be carefully evaluated. Alternative aesthetic procedures can be considered instead of bichectomy for individuals with low skin elasticity and a risk of sagging in the cheek area due to aging. Bichectomy may not be recommended for individuals who are very thin or have prominent facial features, as excessive fat loss can cause the face to appear more sunken and older during the aging process. When the right patient selection is made, bichectomy offers a natural and aesthetic result.
This procedure is popular among men as well as women and can provide quite satisfactory results for individuals who want a sharper jawline. A detailed evaluation with the doctor before the procedure ensures that the most suitable candidates are determined and helps to achieve the best aesthetic result.
4 - What is the Recovery Process After Bishectomy and Hollywood Cheek Aesthetics?
The recovery process after bishectomy is usually fast and comfortable. Mild swelling and tenderness may be seen in the first few days after the procedure, but these symptoms usually decrease within a week. Patients should be careful to consume liquids on the first day and pay attention to oral hygiene. Since the stitches dissolve on their own, no additional stitch removal process is required.
During the first week, heavy physical activities should be avoided and hot and spicy foods should be avoided. It may take approximately 3-6 months for the facial features to fully settle after the procedure and for the final result to be seen. During this process, patients need to be patient so that the face adapts to its new form.
In order to maintain long-term results after bishectomy, a healthy diet should be adopted and weight control should be paid attention to. In cases of excessive weight gain or loss, the face shape may change and the results of the procedure may be affected. Regular doctor check-ups should not be neglected to achieve a permanent and natural appearance.
Bishectomy and Hollywood cheek aesthetics create a more attractive and balanced facial profile by making the facial features more pronounced. If the correct patient selection and appropriate techniques are used, natural and long-lasting results can be achieved after the procedure.
