It is a procedure where the buccal fat pads are removed from the cheeks through a very small incision made inside the mouth. Bichat’s fat pads do not fulfill any special function; they only add volume and make our cheeks look “chubby”. Undergoing bichectomy enhances facial contour giving the patient a slimmer and harmonious face with permanent results.
