WHAT IS NON-SURGICAL BICHECTOMY?
Non-surgical buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that helps reduce fat in the buccal fat pads to achieve a slimmer face without surgery.
Unlike traditional buccal fat removal, it does not require a scalpel or a long recovery period. Through the application of lipolytic enzymes, patients achieve a more slender contour, defined cheekbones, and a youthful, natural appearance.
The non-surgical bichectomy treatment consists of microinjections of lipolytic enzymes in the cheek area. These dissolve localized fat in a controlled manner, refining the middle third of the face and highlighting the features.
It is an ideal alternative for those who feel that their face looks too round or poorly defined, but do not wish to undergo surgery. The results are progressive and provide a facial contouring without surgery, with a more harmonious and stylized appearance.
