Bichat lumps are the lumps of fat that form up the tissue of the cheeks. They have a certain weight, which varies throughout life, what may cause a defect of the face oval. The reduction of the cheeks, which involves the removal of excess adipose tissue, is performed to eliminate this drawback.

The reduction of the cheeks is not recommended for people with an unstable weight since there may be a lack of fatty tissue on the face after surgery, causing people to look sickly and tired. Conducting of the plasty is not recommended also in case of poor blood clotting, infectious diseases, and inflammation in the area of intervention.

Preparation and performing of the procedure

Correction is performed under general anesthesia. Most often this is due to the psychological aspect, because most people are hard to tolerate the manipulations on the face. In some cases, local anesthesia may be used. A small incision (1-2 cm) is made on the inner side of the cheeks on the mucosa. Bichat lumps are removed and the incision is sutured with the cosmetic seam. The whole session takes 1-2 hours.
