Bichectomy

Balance beyond aesthetics

Bichectomy is the surgical intervention that removes fat from the inner area of the cheeks, also called Bichat Fat Pad.

These fatty deposits in the cheek appear regardless of age, and many people consider that their face is too round, voluminous or “chubby”. The size of the fat deposit in the cheek differs from one patient to another.
