Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will bichectomy make my face too thin?
The removal of the cheek fat pads results in a slimmer and more contoured face. However, your face will not become excessively thin — a natural appearance is maintained.

Will there be any scars?
No. The incisions are made inside the mouth, so there are no visible external scars.

How painful is the recovery?
Typically, there is only mild discomfort, which can be easily managed with prescribed painkillers.

Are the results permanent?
Yes. Since the Bichat fat pads are removed, the results are permanent.
