Will The Cheeks Go Back To How They Were After A Bichectomy?

In the facial anatomy of humans, there are fat pads in the lower cheek area, which can be described as ’bichats’, genetic fat deposits on both sides. 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.

One of the things that people who have had a bichectomy operation or considering to have one are curious about whether the fat tissue that is removed during this operation is going to come back and reform inside the cheeks. Fat pads, which are the fat tissue is removed from during a bichectomy, are usually present in people regardless of weight gains and losses. These fat pads can also be referred to as genetic fat deposits. The effects of the surgery are permanent. For this reason, when the fat tissue to be removed by a bichectomy operation is not correctly calculated, and if the operation is performed on unsuitable candidates, there may be a risk that the patient may have a gaunt, hollow appearance in their face in the following years.

A person who is to have a bichectomy operation does not have to worry about their cheeks returning to their original state or this fat pads reforming if they do not go through something such as an extreme weight gain. If the fat pads are completely removed, even with an extreme weight gain, they are not likely to form again. The partial amount that is left inside the cheeks may grow larger if the person goes through a very high amount of weight gain. As mentinoted before, these fat pads are like genetic fat deposits. The effects of the operation will be permanent. This also applies to people who may have the operation and then change their mind about it. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the person who is to have a bichectomy operation is sure about their wishes regarding this operation and that they are a suitable candidate for the operation along with the selection of a right doctor and the correct calculation of the amount of fat tissue to be removed is done.
