Bichectomy – Hollywood Cheek

Bichectomy, Hollywood Cheek

The image that gives the face youth is the inverted triangle image. As the tissues sag down with age, the fullness in the upper half of the face moves downwards. At the same time, the fat of the tissues under the skin begins to decrease. Over time, the face takes on a triangular appearance with tissues hanging down. The face shape becomes more chubby and rounded. At the same time, overweight or round face patients complain about this condition. There are fat packs on the face. The fat in these packets does not melt because it is well nourished and does not shrink because it has its own blood vessels. This is to our disadvantage. Because the areas where it is found are located on the edge of the nose, cheeks, usually in the lower parts of the face, and as the age progresses, it causes the formation of pits and wrinkles on the face. The Hollywood cheek, which has recently become famous, is the process of reducing the bichop fat tissue in the lower part of the face. It is the straightening and removal of fat through a 1 cm incision through the patient’s mouth. The patient does not experience any pain and the duration of the procedure is 1 hour. The patient is discharged on the same day and can start work the next day. The thinning of the face is immediately obvious. It starts to swell 3-4 days after surgery due to the surgery and the thinning of the face decreases accordingly. At the end of the first month, the face becomes thinner again as the edema disappears. Patients can have this in combination with masseter botox to thin the lower face. As the cheeks are thinner, the thickness of the corner of the chin is noticeable. Here is the chewing muscle masseter. The strength and volume of this muscle increases in people who clench their teeth at night, people who are stressed, people who consume hard food. We can reduce its size by botoxing this muscle. At the same time, botoxing this muscle reduces the pressure on the jaw joint, reducing jaw pain. A beautiful young face is a face that is full in the upper part and has thin lines in the lower part. Both of these procedures are very beneficial to the patient with no side effects.
