The cheek is one of the important aesthetic units of the face. There are some genetic deformations of the cheek structure. For example, the maxilla, that is, the cheek, may be behind structurally, and the bone may be underdeveloped. Or there may be volume loss and sagging on the cheek due to age. All these deformations can be corrected with different procedures according to age groups. These include filling applications and surgical applications. The treatment plan should be made according to the patient’s facial structure and age. Bichectomy, on the other hand, has increased in popularity recently, and it is recommended to be applied in young patients with plump cheeks. It is the process of removing the fat pad that causes a fuller appearance on the cheek by entering with a small incision of approximately 1 cm from the inner part of the cheek with local anesthesia. The procedure takes 30 minutes and there is no harm in returning to work after the procedure. After the procedure, it takes 1 month for the cheek to reach the desired aesthetic structure. As a result, the face becomes thinner and more attractive, as the line between the cheekbones and jawbones will appear more sunken.
