The aim of this a bichectomy operation is to remove an appropriate amount of this fat tissue and provide slimming in the lower cheeks area along with creating more definition. These fat pads are generally present in humans independent of weight gains and losses. During a bichectomy operation, these fat pads can be reduced by partial removal through very small incisions made inside each cheek in the mouth.
