What are bichat balls?
Fascinating and enigmatic, Bichat's Balls, also known as Buccal Adipose Bodies, intrigue by their aesthetic and functional role in the face. Far from being mere fat deposits, these fat sacs under the cheekbones subtly influence the contours of the face.
Discovered by the famous French anatomist Marie François Xavier Bichat, these structures bear his name as a tribute to his work. Initially thought to be glands, Bichat demonstrated their fatty nature.
Far from being merely aesthetic features, Bichat's globes play an important functional role. They act as protective pads, absorbing shock and trauma to the jaw muscles during chewing. They also help hydrate the cheeks and lubricate the chewing muscles.
The visibility of the bichat balls varies from person to person. Some people have larger bichat balls, giving their faces a rounder appearance. It is in this context that bichectomy has become popular in cosmetic surgery in Turkey.
Buccal fat removal (Bichectomy) : what is it ?
Do you want a more defined face with prominent cheekbones and sculpted cheeks? Bichectomy in Turkey, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can achieve just that.
During this procedure, a qualified plastic surgeon makes a small incision inside the cheek at the level of the buccal mucosa. He or she then removes the "bichat balls," which are fat deposits in the cheeks. Although not glandular, these fat pads contribute to the volume of the face and can give a rounded appearance.
Bichectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. It is usually performed on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day. Post-operative care is generally light and final results are visible in a few weeks.
Postoperative phase of a Bichectomy
Postoperative care after bichectomy is based on diet. Immediately after surgery, only liquids should be consumed. The diet prescribed by our surgeons must be strictly followed to avoid serious complications.
The aim of following the surgeon's instructions is to make the patient chew and to avoid infections in the postoperative period. For a few days after the surgery, the patient should follow a soft diet. And then the patient can return to more intense physical activities, exercise and sports.
The patient is always advised to avoid hard foods until the healing is complete. However, everything is strictly monitored.
It is also recommended that the patient does not do things like spitting, hissing, and other similar efforts that injure the wound during the bichectomy recovery. Before the procedure, our surgeons in Turkey recommend taking all necessary oral hygiene care, including the use of mouthwash.
