We have all heard about bichectomy in recent days, the aesthetic touch-up that has caused such a stir after the influencer Mar Torres, a couple from Froilán, had one done at age 21. But, what is it about? The truth is that it is a cosmetic surgery that is performed on a regular basis although it is not as popular as rhinoplasty or breast augmentation, until now …
Bichectomy is basically defining the cheeks. Through a relatively simple technique, which is carried out under local anesthesia and in just half an hour, "a small incision is made inside the mouth to extract the Bichat balls", glands of fatty tissue found in the cheeks. " The objective of the extraction of these fat balls is to achieve a greater definition of the cheek area , in this way a visual sensation of a more triangular and stylized face can be achieved," says Dr. Pilar de Frutos, surgeon plastic and aesthetic medicine.
Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Beckham and even Mario Vaquerizo are some of the celebrities who have had this aesthetic retouch, whose price is around 1,290 euros. A relatively inexpensive aesthetic operation, as it does not need touch-ups . "It is definitive, but to evaluate the intervention it is necessary to wait a few weeks for the inflammation to disappear and the final results will be perceived after 4-6 months", the doctor clarifies.
And what is the reason for its success? Well, it is a simple minor surgery, with quick recovery and with which great results are achieved, as many famous women have shown, who now have a more stylized face. It is perfect for those women who have complexes for having a too round face and want to mark their cheeks.
