Can Men Have Bichectomy Operations?

Inside the cheeks of almost everyone, there are fat pads called ‘’bichats ’’ (Bichat’s fat pads). This name was given after the famous French anatomist and pathologist Marie François Xavier Bichat, who first described this anatomical structure. These fat pads are one of the anatomical structures that give the face its shape and they are present in men as well as in women. Depending on the general facial anatomy and facial proportions of the person, the reduction of these fat pads by a Bichectomy operation can provide an improvement in the facial appearance. Bichectomy operations are performed in men with the same benefits as women.

While the amount of this fat tissue inside of the cheeks targeted a bichectomy operation may vary from person to person, it is present in almost everyone regardless of being a man or a woman. During the operation, two small incisions are made inside the mouth and this fat tissue is removed in the amount individually calculated for that individual according to their anatomy. Whether the candidate for this operation is a woman or a man, does not affect their suitability for this operation. The fat pads in the target of this operation are found in humans as a genetic deposit of fat. In some people it may be less than others.

With this procedure, it is aimed to create slimming in the lower cheeks, along with a slightly dented, shadowy appearance between the cheek bones and the jaw if the patient’s anatomy is suitable. The slimming effect in the cheeks can be seen in almost everyone, while the occurance of the mentioned, pleasent, slightly dented, shadowy appearance can be said to be related to the patient’s cheekbones and jaw structure. The amount of fat tissue to be removed should be calculated for each patient individually. This operation can provide improvements in the appearance of men as well as women.
