For a "narrow" face – here too there are trends and counter-trends. Where in one case only fillers help to give a face a desired roundness, in the opposite case fat pads are removed from the cheeks to make the face appear more angular – the face shape should remind of a "V". However, there is a lot to consider in the case of bichectomy – read the article with Professor Dr. Dr. Mang in BILD.
Superficially, the intervention is quickly explained: As part of the maximum one-hour, mostly outpatient operation, an incision is made, either inside the mouth area or laterally in front of the ear. Then the "bichatic fat plug", which lies exactly in the middle of the cheek, is split and removed. The size can vary between pea size and golf ball size depending on the roundness and thickness of the face. This then also the cheek part comes more to the attention and the "wholesome" falls away., explains Professor Dr. Dr. Mang, medical director of the Bodenseeklinik.
But the intervention also carries dangers. Operational cuts on the face have it in themselves, because here run countless muscles and nerves, which are very important for the facial expressions, for example. And one should be quite clear about the result beforehand: how much should be removed? In addition, you should not do the procedure "too early" – both aspects have an influence on whether you get "prematurely" fallen cheeks. It is important to point out other ways in which facial contours can be refined without a scalpel – such as facial exercises: Sport as a mining game.
