Abstract
Bichectomy, or Bichat fat pad removal, is a surgical procedure
indicated when there is excess volume on the middle third of the
face (bellow the cheekbones / zygoma) giving it a chubby or round
look. The ideal candidates are men and women who wish to achieve
a slimmer face appearance in this area, and it is also recommended
for patients with chronic cheek biting.
