Buccal Fat Removal
(Bichectomy) Surgery in Dubai

Q: What is the ideal age for buccal fat removal?

Most surgeons recommend waiting until the age of 18, when the face has fully developed. Removing the buccal fat pad too early can make the face look hollow.

Q: Does buccal fat removal leave a scar?

No, buccal fat removal does not leave a scar on your face. The surgeon makes an incision inside each cheek to reach the fat pocket. It is closed with dissolvable sutures, which disappear inside the mouth during healing.

Q: Will buccal fat come back after removal?

No, the buccal fat does not grow back after removal. The buccal fat pocket is gone permanently after removal, but that does not mean the face will remain slim permanently. Your face can still change because of aging or weight gain.

Q: Can buccal fat removal help with nasolabial folds?

No, buccal fat removal is not a treatment for nasolabial folds.

Q: How long does buccal fat removal take to show results?

Buccal fat removal results usually appear 3-6 months after surgery.

Q: Is buccal fat removal painful?

No, the buccal fat removal itself is not painful because the cheek is completely numb.

Q: Can rhinoplasty and buccal fat removal be done together?

Yes, rhinoplasty and buccal fat removal can be combined to create balanced facial contours.

Q: Is cheek liposuction the same as buccal fat removal?

No, cheek liposuction is a different procedure. Cheek liposuction removes fat located just under the skin, while buccal fat removal removes the buccal fat pad.

Q: Does buccal fat affect the jawline?

Yes, buccal fat can affect the jawline by making the lower cheeks look fuller. A round face can affect the appearance of the jawline. Removing a small amount of this fat creates a balanced lower facial appearance.

Buccal fat removal surgery (bichectomy) is a facial contouring procedure that removes part of the buccal fat pad deep inside each cheek. Buccal fatty tissue is present between the zygomatic bone and jawline, which gives a round facial appearance. Cheek fat removal surgery helps create a slimmer and more defined facial profile.

Dr. Sirouse Ghouchkhani performs a bichectomy at Enfield Royal Clinic Dubai with careful examination of facial symmetry and buccal fat pad size to remove only the right amount of buccal fat pad. He is a DHA-certified plastic surgeon and customizes the bichectomy procedure based on your facial structure.

How Do I Preparefor Buccal FatRemoval Surgery

Prepare for buccal fat removal surgery by following all the proper pre-operative care instructions. Preparing for a bichectomy procedure helps lower the risk of bleeding, infection, and delayed healing. The body needs to be in the best condition to heal well as the incision is made inside your mouth. The surgeon examines your mid-face volume, cheek structure, and skin quality before giving personalized pre-surgery instructions.

Tell your surgeon about every medicine and supplement you take. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E because they can increase bleeding.

Stop eating and drinking for 6-8 hours before surgery. Your doctor will guide you about a fasting routine based on the type of anesthesia.

Keep your mouth clean before coming to the clinic because the incision is made inside your cheek. Cleaning helps lower the number of bacteria inside the mouth.

Wear loose, comfortable clothes on the day of surgery.

Do not wear makeup or jewelry.

Arrange someone to drive you home because most patients feel sleepy for the rest of the day. It may not be safe to drive yourself.

Dr. Sirouse Ghouchkhani

Dr. Sirouse Ghouchkhani is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with more than 20+years of surgical experience. He brings international surgical excellence from the UAE, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine. Dr. Sirouse Ghouchkhani performs buccal fat removal at Enfield Royal Clinic Dubai with special attention to overall facial proportions. He plans every buccal removal surgery according to the cheek volume, buccal fat pad, and natural facial features of the patients.

What Is the Procedurefor Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal surgery takes about 30-60 minutes and is commonly done under local anesthesia. The bichectomy procedure usually involves 5 main steps, which are explained below:

Step 1: Consultation and Facial Assessment

Your surgeon examines your facial symmetry, the size of the buccal fat pad, and cheek volume during the consultation. The amount of buccal fat pad to be removed is planned after a thorough examination.

Step 2: Anesthesia & Intraoral Incision

Your surgeon injects local anesthesia before making incisions. After the inner cheek becomes numb, a 1-2 cm incision is made near the upper second molar. As the incision is inside the cheek, there are no visible scars on your face.

Step 3: Buccal Fat Pad Removal

The surgeon gently removes the buccal fat pad through the incisions. Only a controlled amount of fat is removed depending on the facial volume. During buccal fat removal, the surgeon protects nearby tissue, including the parotid (salivary) duct.The goal of buccal fat removal is to improve your facial shape without changing the natural features.

Step 4: Closing the Incision

The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures after removing buccal fat. Dissolvable sutures don’t need to be removed because the stitches disappear on their own as your mouth heals.

Step 5: Recovery and Discharge

You are monitored for a short time after the cheek fat removal procedure before going home. Your surgeon will give you instructions about oral hygiene, diet plan, and caring for the incision. Patients should be extra careful during the first few weeks of healing.

What Happens AfterBuccal Fat Removal Surgery

How Long DoesBuccal Fat RemovalRecovery Take

Bichectomy recovery usually takes 2-5 days. Swelling gradually improves over 2-3 weeks. The cheeks continue to settle, and final facial shape usually becomes visible within 3-6 months. During this time, the remaining swelling has fully resolved.

RECOVERY STAGE	WHAT TO EXPECT
First 24-48 Hours	Swelling, mild discomfort, and numbness are most noticeable. Protect the incision during this period.
Days 3-7	Swelling starts to improve. Most patients can return to light daily activities and desk work.
Weeks 2-3	Most swelling and bruising have settled. You can usually return to your normal routine.
1-3 Months	The cheeks continue to heal. Your new facial shape becomes more noticeable.
3-6 Months	Healing is complete. The final facial contour is fully visible with a slimmer appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal

Ideal candidates for buccal fat removal are people who have naturally full or round cheeks. The best results are seen in people who meet the general candidacy requirements for buccal fat removal.

Are 18 years or older and the growth of the buccal fat pad is complete
Want a slimmer face with better cheekbones and jawline
Have a stable weight, as major weight changes can affect the results
Have good skin elasticity
Are in good overall health

Is buccal fat removal surgery permanent?

Yes, buccal fat removal surgery is considered permanent. The portion of the buccal fat pad removed does not grow back. After surgery, the cheeks will remain slimmer if you don’t gain or lose a significant amount of weight. That said, bichectomy provides long-lasting facial definition.

Your face will continue to change naturally with age. As you get older, you gradually lose facial fat. This is why the surgeon removes only a small amount of buccal fat. Taking too much fat can make the cheeks look hollow later in life.
