Can You Have A Bichectomy During Summer?

During these days, as the summer approaches, people who are considering to have a bichectomy operation which still keeps it popularity, may be wondering whether this operation can be performed during summer.

When it comes to the matter of summer, high temperature and sun exposure can be mentioned related to surgical operations. High temperature can affect the body. It can affect blood pressure in particular. In the early period after an operation if the blood pressure increases too much, it may causes capillaries to burst, or cause bleeding along with an increase in swelling. As sun rays affect skin pigmentation, it is recommended to protect areas from sun rays that may be affected after a surgery, such as operation sites, incisions, bruisings, scar tissues.  It may be advisable to not have some surgeries during summer. This is not something that is necessary for a bichectomy operation.

When performed by adept surgeons, bichectomy can be said to be a simple operation. It does not pose many risks when the surgical quality is good. During a bichectomy operation, two small incisions are made inside the mouth, the fat tissue that is called Bichat’s fat pad are removed through these incisions and reduced. As a bichectomy operation is performed inside the mouth, there are no external stitches or an external area that was operated on. After this operation, almost always no bruising occurs on the face. Therefore, as long as the patient is careful, there is no harm in having a bichectomy operation in summer. After the procedure, it is still recommended that the patient should avoid things that can severely increase their blood pressure such heavy physical activities or excessive heat for a short period.
