Frequently Asked Questions
Get professional medical answers to common patient concerns regarding Bichectomy.
No. Buccal fat pad removal only targets the deep, pocketed fat in the lower cheek, which does not sag with age. Removing a conservative amount prevents hollow cheeks while sharpening your contour.
The incisions are tiny (under 1 cm) and placed entirely inside your mouth on the inner cheeks. There are zero external cuts and no visible scars.
You will follow a soft or liquid diet (soups, smoothies, purees, yogurts) for the first 3 to 5 days to avoid irritating the internal cheek incisions.
You must rinse your mouth with a special antiseptic mouthwash or warm saltwater after every meal or snack for the first 7 days to prevent infection.
Cheek swelling peaks on day 3, making your cheeks look slightly rounder. Swelling decreases significantly within 2 weeks, and the final chiseled contour appears around 2 to 3 months.
