Face Procedures
Buccal Fat Removal
Bichectomy, also known as Buccal Fat Removal, removes the buccal fat pad in the cheek hollow area. The size of the buccal fat pad varies with each individual patient, and the buccal fat pad in each cheek may be different sizes. Buccal fat pad extraction surgery is typically not performed in people with thin, narrow faces as removal of the fat may cause the face to look more gaunt with age.
