Bichectomy - Cheek surgery information and locations in Mexico

A cheek reduction surgery is used to remove the small fat pockets “Bichat” located inside the cheeks to help patients get a slender look on their face.
This surgery is a same-day procedure and is usually performed under local anesthesia. The plastic surgeon does a small incision inside the mouth in the cheek area. Then removes the fat pockets “Bichat bag”. After the surgery patients can see the results immediately having a slender and less rounded face.
