Is Buccal Lipectomy Ethical for removing Face Fat?

The surgical removal of cheek fat also called "bichectomy" or "buccal lipectomy", is one of the latest trends in aesthetic surgery. One of the factors contributing to the boom of this intervention is that more and more international stars are undergoing this process, and the famous faces are also turning their eyes more and more to the blemishes of the face.

What is a buccal lipectomy?

According to surgeons, the cause of the round facial or the "chewing cheeks" under which many sufferers suffer is fat deposition in the cheekbones, which referred to in the field as "Buccal Fat". It is vascularized fat whose function is to support or cushion the facial skeleton.

For patients who prefer a more V-shaped face, it is possible to surgically remove these fat bodies. The operation lasts about half an hour and the results obtained are permanent, as the fatty bodies, one in each cheek, are separated from the rest of the body fat and thus cannot develop again. The buccal lipectomy is usually performed under local anesthesia and leaves no visible scars.

For whom is a facial fat removal suitable?

Patients benefiting from this intervention are those who have round faces and whose face does not narrow down despite losing weight. However, this technique is recommended only for round faces, as in some cases, the thinning of the cheeks may cause the face to visually age.

According to surgeons, only patients are suitable who should have a facial constriction and if they fulfill the following conditions:

∙ Physical health and mental stability

∙ No pathologies in the area of the face and the skull

∙ No connective tissue diseases

∙ At least 18 years old

∙ Realistic expectations of the procedure

Face Fat Removal is also an excellent technique for emphasizing the cheekbones, giving the face a more attractive appearance. Surgeons also state that most of their patients are between 18 and 30 years old, with 80% of their patients usually are female.

How do I choose the right surgeon?

As with any surgical procedure, it is important that your surgeon is a certified specialist with years of experience. Jaw and facial surgeons are the ideal specialists for this procedure, thanks to their extensive knowledge of the anatomy and functionality of the face and neck. It is recommended that you contact several doctors so that you can ultimately choose the specialist who will give you the highest level of confidence and confidence.
