Bichat’s Fat Pad Removal Surgery

Bichat’s Fat Pad Removal Surgery

Introduction
Bichectomy, or Bichat fat removal surgery, involves removing the Bichat fat pads located in the cheeks. These fat deposits serve no functional purpose, and their removal through a minor surgery helps to slim and contour the face. Bichectomy is recommended for slim individuals of any gender with a round and undefined face. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization. It is done under local anesthesia. Although it is a minor surgery, it should be performed in specialized centers. This procedure can be combined with other facial or body procedures.
