What a bichectomy package is

Bichectomy — buccal fat removal — takes part of the fat pad that sits in the lower cheek, through a small cut inside the mouth. The pad is not the same layer as the fat under the skin of the face, and removing it does not tighten a jowl, lift a mid-face, or carve a dimple. It is not a facelift, not liposuction of the neck, and not a promise of a hollowed Instagram cheek at a fixed fee. Once that pad is reduced it does not grow back; remaining fullness in the face can still change with weight.

The written plan should identify the buccal-fat-removal scope after assessment. The operating clinician should be named in the written plan.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults with fullness in the lower cheek that diet has not shifted, whose face is otherwise well supported, and who accept that the scar sits inside the mouth. A very thin face, a request to empty the pad completely, or a plan that would hollow the cheek in a decade as volume falls, will often pause the sitting. Active infection in the mouth, smoking that has not stopped as asked, or a clotting issue that makes a cut inside the cheek less safe, will postpone the date.

Send daylight photographs — front and both three-quarter views, at rest, no filter and no sucking in the cheeks. Suitability is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone operates. A chin implant, a lip lift, dimple creation or a facelift in the same anaesthetic is not assumed.

What sits outside this figure

Flights to and from Istanbul are extra unless a contract says otherwise. Extra nights you add yourself, a companion’s room, travel insurance, a facelift, neck liposuction, a chin implant, a lip lift, cheek dimples, and a later revision sit outside this figure unless they are named on the plan. Emptying the pad so far that the cheek looks gaunt is refused; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan three to five nights in the city. That window covers the in-person assessment, the sitting, the first intra-oral check and clearance to fly. Two nights is tight if swelling peaks late. Seven to ten nights belong to a facelift, not this cheek stay. Leave room for an extra night if the team asks.

Theatre time follows the written plan; a bichectomy sitting is usually shorter than a facelift or a 360 lipo day. Adults are often under local anaesthetic; a general anaesthetic sits in this stay only if that paper names it. This is not a lunch-hour filler appointment. Discharge is signed by the surgeon — it is not an advertising date.

Recovery after you fly home

The first days are mouth care: a soft diet as shown, rinses after meals, no straws if you were told to skip them, a raised head at night, and no gym until the team clears it. Swelling can make the cheek look fuller before it looks slimmer; the hotel-day photograph is not the result. Desk work is often possible after several days if the surgeon agrees. Dissolving stitches inside the mouth usually look after themselves. The contour keeps settling for months. None of that is a hollow-cheek guarantee.

Red flags after you return — spreading redness, pus, a temperature that persists, bleeding that will not stop, sudden facial weakness, or pain that is getting worse — mean a local clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

If vision changes, the eye will not close, the face becomes weak, or a haematoma develops after I go home, what happens and who pays?

The symptoms that need review without delay depend on the operation. After a face, neck, brow or temple lift: rapidly growing swelling on one side, pain, breathlessness or new facial weakness. After eyelid surgery: a lid that will not close, severe pain, an eye being pushed forward, or reduced vision. After facial fat injection: sudden loss of vision. ASPS lists blindness among eyelid-surgery risks, while describing it as very rare. A significant haematoma is treated by evacuation, as described above. Fat in a vessel needs emergency eye assessment. The NHS asks people to settle in writing, before cosmetic surgery abroad, where reviews happen, what further surgery and a return journey cost, and whether the clinic’s insurance covers the patient. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. Follow-up after an operation in the UK is the surgeon’s responsibility. A clinic abroad may not offer the same follow-up or a doctor in your own country. The NHS uses 7–10 days after facial cosmetic surgery as a planning window before flying, because of clot risk. Your own surgeon gives the personal clearance. This page does not say that any partner pays for admission, revision or the return flight.

What is the long-term volume effect of buccal fat removal?

ASPS notes that the cheek fat pad varies between people and between the two sides, and that removal is usually avoided in a thin, narrow face because ageing can make the cheeks look more hollow. Source: ASPS buccal fat removal.

Can cheek volume be restored after buccal fat removal?

Some hollowing after buccal fat removal can be treated by adding volume, but this does not simply put the original pad back. In a published surgeon case, the correction used a dermal-fat graft; the clinician notes that injected fat survival is not assured. This is one case, so it does not establish how often revision helps or guarantee that your earlier cheek contour can be recreated. A facial plastic surgeon can assess whether the appearance reflects surgery, healing or natural ageing, then discuss possible benefits and limits. The published buccal lipectomy reversal case describes one such approach. ASPS cautions that removal may make a thin face look more hollow with age.
