Buccal fat removal: cheek fat removal in Vienna

Cheek fat removal, known internationally as buccal fat removal, is an established method of slimming the face.

Causes of full cheeks:

Full cheeks can be genetic or caused by the natural ageing process. Some people naturally have plumper cheeks, while others are affected by fat accumulation in this area due to weight gain or other factors. These fat deposits are often resistant to diet and sport.

Many people suffer from unloved chubby cheeks that make the face look older and heavier. Regardless of health and weight, these round cheeks often remain and reduce self-confidence. Bichectomy is a procedure under local anaesthesia that is usually performed on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day. The entire procedure usually takes no longer than one hour and is performed under local anaesthesia.

Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fatty tissue from the cheeks. This procedure can give the facial contours a slimmer shape and contribute to a more defined appearance.

Before the operation, you have several consultations with the plastic surgeon. It is important that you are informed about all risks in detail and come to the treatment fully informed.

During the procedure, Dr. Handl makes a small incision inside the mouth and removes the excess fatty tissue from the inside. The wound is closed with fine, self-dissolving stitches. You can go home straight after the procedure and resume your normal activities. Please note, however, that temporary swelling and bruising may occur, but these subside quickly. The result of the operation becomes visible gradually.

Buccal fat removal can achieve a slimmer and more defined face. The results are usually permanent. However, careful aftercare and advice are just as important to achieve a good result.

Dr. Handl is an experienced specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery with extensive experience in bichectomy. In the consultation, he informs you in detail about the risks and the procedure and answers all your questions. You are welcome to book your personal appointment with Dr. Handl.
