How does the procedure work?<\/h3>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]The bichectomy is performed internally, with no visible scar on the skin.<\/p>\n
A small incision is made inside the mouth to gently access the Bichat’s balls and remove part of them in a controlled manner.<\/p>\n
The procedure generally lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the anatomy and the procedure performed.<\/p>\n
It is most often performed under local anaesthetic or light sedation, allowing optimal comfort.<\/p>\n
In most cases, the patient returns home the same day.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Bichectomy provides :<\/p>\n
\n- a more structured face<\/li>\n
- subtly refined cheeks<\/li>\n
- enhanced cheekbones<\/li>\n
- a more defined facial contour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The result remains elegant and natural when carried out with care.
The aim is not to hollow out the face excessively, but to reveal its lines with precision.<\/p>\n

The pre-operative consultation<\/strong> is essential to establish the basis of a trusting relationship with your surgeon. You’ll be able to tell him or her your expectations and check that the procedure is right for you. At the end of this consultation, you will receive a precise estimate for your procedure. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Operation sequence” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Depending on your preferences and the amount of fat to be removed, bichectomy can be performed under local anaesthetic or sedation. The actual procedure consists of removing the fat deposits in the cheeks through a small incision in the mouth. Finally, the incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. The entire procedure takes about an hour. <\/p>\n

After the procedure, we’ll keep you under observation for a while to make sure you have no complications. You can go home the same day. To minimize discomfort and facilitate the recovery process, you’ll need to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions carefully regarding wound care, medication, physical activity and follow-up post-operative consultations. <\/p>\n

The result of bichectomy appears progressively in the days following surgery, as postoperative swelling subsides. Gradually, the cheeks will become thinner and more sculpted. <\/p>\n
The final results of bichectomy can only be appreciated after several months, as the face needs time to adapt to the new shape after surgery. You may therefore continue to see subtle improvements for several months after the operation, as the tissues continue to heal and adjust. <\/p>\n
