Removing cheek fat changes the shape of the face permanently
Cheek fat removal helps patients who want a narrow face with more cheek contour. Cheek fat removal is one of the latest trends in aesthetic surgery, which may be due to the fact that more and more international celebrities are undergoing this procedure.
In technical terminology, this procedure is called bichectomy. In contrast to liposuction, it is a permanent facial narrowing, because the fat body is removed according to aesthetic needs. This not only narrows the cheek area, but also the cheek bones become more prominent, which has a positive effect on the overall aesthetics of the face.
The execution and aftercare of the cheek fat removal at Dr. Ugurlu in Hamburg
Cheek fat removal is usually performed under local anaesthetic and takes about 20-30 minutes. During this procedure, the excess fat is removed evenly on both sides through small, invisible incisions on the inner sides of the cheeks. The wound is then sutured with self-dissolving sutures and in some cases a tape is applied externally to counteract possible swelling.
After the procedure a slight swelling may occur, you should eat soft food for 3-5 days and clean your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash for 5-7 days. Do not smoke or drink alcohol during this time.
