Bichetes are localized fat deposits in the cheek area, which give the face a rounded appearance. The size of the deposits varies from person to person and is almost independent of body weight. In some cases, inherited pronounced fat deposits, so the patient decides to undergo plastic surgery - removal of lumps of Bichette. After the intervention facial features become sharper, puffiness of the cheeks is eliminated, cheekbones are more contoured.
All indications for the removal of lumps are purely aesthetic, for medical reasons these anatomical formations are not removed. Among the main problems patients face are the following:
The doctor can perform surgery to remove lumps in the face in conjunction with other facial interventions.
Plastic surgeons may refuse to remove lumps of Bichette's if there are a number of contraindications. These include:
In addition, the doctor can determine temporary or permanent contraindications to the intervention after the initial consultation and examination.
Before the removal of lumps in the cheeks Bisha held a detailed consultation with the plastic surgeon. If contraindications are excluded, the doctor determines the date of surgery and explains the details of preparation.
It is necessary to pass a set of tests that are necessary for any intervention (blood and urine tests, coagulogram, biochemistry, exclusion of HIV, syphilis with viral hepatitis). It is also necessary to see a general practitioner and dentist, as well as an anesthesiologist. A week before surgery, exclude smoking and drinking alcohol, cancel drugs that affect clotting. On the day of surgery, the use of facial cosmetics is prohibited.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia. If removal of Bichet's lumps is combined with other types of facial plasty, the intervention is performed under general anesthesia, so you must fast for 8-10 hours, 4 hours before surgery stop drinking any fluids.
Today, the intervention is performed in two ways - externally (only with concomitant surgeries accompanied by an external skin incision) or internally. The question of how much Bisha's lump removal surgery costs depends on the technique and additional procedures.
In internal surgery, an incision is made from the inside of the cheek to extract the fat pouches. The surgeon dissects the mucosa, pulls apart the muscle fibers, isolates the fat packs and peels them away from the underlying tissue, and removes them. This is followed by suturing. No traces of intervention are left on the skin.
In a complex surgery with the simultaneous need to remove lumps of Bichette's, an external intervention is performed. The surgeon uses a traditional scalpel or laser knife to dissect the tissue in the desired area. Then, the fat lumps are peeled away from the tissue, additional interventions are performed, and sutures are applied. Surgery to remove lumps takes at least 30 minutes.
In our clinic after the operation follow-up observation of the patient and rehabilitation measures are obligatory. The surgery causes swelling of the face, which lasts up to 4 days, and the stitches are dissolved after about a week. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics and painkillers, and medications to reduce swelling.
During the first three days, only liquid food is prescribed so as not to strain the chewing muscles. After eating, you should rinse your mouth, sleep only on your back, so as not to deform the facial oval.
For three weeks you should avoid active facial expressions, singing, reduce the amount of talking. For one month it is important to refrain from physical activity, visiting the solarium and heat procedures.
Bichette's lump removal helps to achieve truly long-lasting results. With proper facial care, the effect of the surgery lasts for 10 years or even longer.
