Bichectomía CDMX
The Bichat fat bag is an accumulation of fat located between the masseter muscle and the buccinator muscle, on both sides of the face. These two muscles that allow chewing movements need a lubricating fat pad, which is the Bichat bag.
Although all people have them, in some cases these fatty cushions develop exaggeratedly, resulting in a face that is too round and bulky. It is then necessary to perform a weight loss by reducing the Bichat bags, known as Bichectomy.

- Benefits: Facial thinning, by reducing the bags of Bichat.
- Surgery Time: Facial slimming surgery can last from 30 min to an hour and a half. If in addition to the removal of the Bichat bags, you decide to perform some other intervention, the time may vary.
- Anesthesia: This surgery is performed through two very small intraoral incisions (inside the mouth), so there are no visible scars.
- Hospitalization time: Once the intervention is finished you will feel calm and pain-free. After a few hours, you may have some discomfort that can be controlled with prescribed medication.
- Recovery: Recovery can take 2 to 5 days, sometimes less. However, every organism has a different recovery process. You must observe the medical indications and rest for the recommended time. It may take several weeks for the swelling to show real changes. However, day by day you will notice important changes that will fill you with satisfaction.
