Cheek aesthetics is a procedure that is gaining more and more attention in today’s plastic surgery. Many people prefer bichectomy operation to make their facial features sharper and to get rid of excess fat accumulation in the cheek area. This operation is performed by specialist plastic surgeons and helps the individual, especially the lower face profile, to have a more prominent and aesthetic appearance.
Cheek aesthetics is an aesthetic surgical intervention performed with the aim of making the facial features more prominent by thinning the cheeks and creating a V-shaped facial contour. Some individuals may complain of having excessively full cheeks, vague cheekbones, or a cheek structure that disrupts facial symmetry. One of the most effective ways to eliminate such complaints is cheek aesthetics, because it can be quite difficult or even impossible to reduce the fat tissue in the cheek area with diet alone.
Cheek aesthetic surgery is called bichectomy in the medical literature . The main purpose of this procedure is to achieve a thinner and shaped cheek appearance that is suitable for the individual’s face shape and aesthetic expectations. During the surgery, the targeted aesthetic result is achieved by using facial thinning techniques. It is of great importance that cheek aesthetics is performed by an experienced Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist under the right conditions.

The main criteria sought in suitable candidates for cheek aesthetic surgery are as follows:
Older than 18 years and generally younger than 65 years old (In very special cases, bichectomy can also be performed on older patients with the approval of the physician.)
Not having been diagnosed with obesity or morbid obesity.
Good skin elasticity.
Not to be excessively thin, because in this case undesirable depressions may occur in the facial features.
To have a bone structure suitable for procedures such as clarification of the cheekbones.
Cheek aesthetics may not be considered appropriate in certain cases. One of these situations is that the person is obese or morbidly obese. In overweight individuals, the general problem of facial fat may not be solved by bichectomy alone and more comprehensive weight loss methods may be needed. In addition, paradoxically, being excessively thin is also an unsuitable condition for cheek aesthetics. Since very thin people do not already have enough adipose tissue, performing a bichectomy can lead to an unnatural and unhealthy depression on the face. Therefore, ideal candidates for this operation are people with a balanced body structure who are neither overweight nor overweight.
There are different application methods for cheek aesthetics. Although the name bichectomy is used synonymously with cheek aesthetics, in fact, bichectomy is only one of the methods within the scope of cheek aesthetics. Bichectomy involves removing a certain portion of buccal adipose tissue in the cheek area for the purpose of lower face thinning. In addition, there are non-surgical methods such as cheek fillers in the field of cheek aesthetics. In this section, we will examine the methods of cheek aesthetics in more detail.
Bichectomy is one of the most popular cheek aesthetic methods today, and its popularity has increased so much that cheek aesthetics is often referred to by this name. In this method, some of the buccal fat pads in the cheek area are permanently removed. By removing this adipose tissue, the cheeks are thinned and the facial features become more prominent, contributing to the triangular facial appearance. It is an effective solution, especially for individuals who are uncomfortable with the appearance of full cheeks.
Within the scope of cheek aesthetics, non-surgical methods such as cheek filling are also used. This method is suitable for individuals who have lost their natural fullness in the cheek area or have cheek lines that are not prominent enough. In cheek filler applications, hyaluronic acid-based, body-compatible and safe filling materials are generally preferred. These materials are injected into the cheekbone area or the cheek general, depending on the needs of the person, creating a fuller, lifted and aesthetic cheek contour.
Cheek aesthetics offers many important advantages for individuals. The appearance of the cheeks is a critical factor that directly affects the overall aesthetics of the entire face. Excessively full cheeks or, conversely, excessively sunken cheeks can cause an unaesthetic appearance in the facial expression of the person. Thanks to cheek aesthetics, such problems are eliminated and a more balanced, proportional and aesthetically attractive face profile is obtained. The main advantages of cheek aesthetics are detailed below.
According to the aesthetic understanding of many people, it is desirable for the face to be thinner and the lines to be more prominent. Thanks to the reduction of excess fat in the cheek area with surgical interventions such as bichectomy, the individual can achieve thinner and more prominent facial features. In line with the aesthetic expectations and facial structure of the patient, it becomes possible to obtain a sharper, more attractive and triangular facial appearance.
Prominent cheekbones are an important aesthetic element that adds charm to facial expression in both women and men. One of the biggest advantages of cheek aesthetics is that the cheekbones are made more prominent through fat removal or filling applications. Accentuated cheekbones add depth to the overall structure of the face, giving the individual a more expressive and striking facial appearance.
As with any surgical intervention, the recovery process after cheek aesthetic surgery is of great importance. Being careful in this process and strictly following the recommendations of the physician will allow you to achieve the best result by minimizing the risk of complications. Post-operative care can also directly affect the quality of the aesthetic appearance to be achieved and the risk of scar formation. The details of the healing process are explained in the following headings.
Care after cheek aesthetic surgery is vital for the smooth and rapid progress of the healing process. In order not to put pressure on the cheek tissue after the surgery, it is necessary to stay away from solid and hard foods in the first days and eat more liquid or semi-liquid foods. In addition, it is very important to protect the cheek area from external factors, especially impact and direct sunlight. Paying attention to oral hygiene and using special mouthwashes recommended by the doctor reduces the risk of infection.
The possibility of a significant scar after cheek aesthetic (bichectomy) surgery is negligible. The main reason for this is that surgical incisions are made through the mouth. These incisions made in the mouth are invisible when viewed from the outside and therefore do not leave any scars that will adversely affect the aesthetic appearance. For this reason, there is usually no need for special care or treatment to reduce scars after cheek aesthetic surgery.
Cheek aesthetics is usually not a painful operation. In non-surgical methods such as cheek filling, local anesthesia is applied to the area before the procedure . In this way, you will not feel any pain or discomfort while injecting the filler or during needle insertions. A bichectomy, a surgical procedure, is similarly not painful. Since bichectomy is usually performed under sedation (conscious sedation) or general anesthesia, the individual does not feel any pain or pain during the operation. In the postoperative period, mild pain may occur, but these can be easily controlled with prescribed painkillers.
The time to return to normal life after cheek aesthetics varies according to the method applied. In applications such as cheek fillers, which are non-surgical methods, it is possible to return to normal daily activities in only 1-2 days. However, the recovery process after bichectomy, which is a surgical procedure, may be a little longer. After bichectomy surgery, it may be necessary to wait at least 1-2 weeks to fully return to normal life . In some cases, individuals who do not experience complications and work at a desk job can return to work even after 3-4 days. The important thing is to follow the recommendations of the physician and act according to the signals given by your body.
Yes, there is a certain age limit for cheek aesthetics. The lower age limit for cheek aesthetics has been determined as 18. This age limit has been set in order to ensure that the individual is of legal age and that his facial features are fully established. Generally, facial features continue to develop until the age of 18 and in some cases even the early 20s. Therefore, it is important to wait until at least 18 years old for bichectomy surgery to achieve effective and lasting results. The upper age limit is generally accepted as 65, but in exceptional cases and with the approval of the physician, it can also be applied to older patients.
The risk of complications after cheek aesthetics varies depending on many factors. Performing the operation under the right conditions, with appropriate methods and by an experienced plastic surgeon significantly reduces the risk of complications. In addition, the patient’s meticulous follow-up to the doctor’s recommendations after the surgery and the protection of the operation area from external factors (such as impacts) also reduce the risks. However, as with any surgical intervention, bichectomy is not a completely risk-free operation. In rare cases, complications such as infection, bleeding, asymmetry or nerve damage may occur. These risks should be discussed in detail with your doctor before surgery.
The duration of cheek aesthetics varies according to the method applied. In applications such as non-surgical cheek filling, although the duration of the procedure varies according to the aesthetic wishes and needs of the patient, it is usually completed within a few sessions and each session is short. Bichectomy surgery, which is a surgical method, usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. However, the duration of the operation may vary depending on factors such as the type of anesthesia to be used, other accompanying procedures, or the surgeon’s technique. You can get the most accurate information about the duration of the operation from your doctor during the preliminary examination.
The possibility of a significant scar after cheek aesthetics is almost zero. In the surgical cheek aesthetics, that is, bichectomy operation, incisions are made through the mouth. In this way, any surgical scars that can be seen from the outside or disturb the person are prevented. In non-surgical cheek aesthetic applications (such as filling), no incision is made; Only needle insertions occur and these small holes heal in a very short time and leave no scars. This feature makes cheek aesthetics very advantageous in terms of aesthetics.
