Cheekbone Reduction Surgery Process

Procedure

At Dr. Aurora Reig’s Clinic, we perform bichectomies or cheekbone reduction surgery in certified operating rooms. The procedure typically lasts approximately 30-60 minutes.

Procedure Details:

  • Minimal or no pain: Performed under local anesthesia, and post-operative discomfort is mild.</li
  • Incision closure: Absorbable sutures are used inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars.

Postoperative care after Bichectomy

Bichectomy has a quick and simple recovery if you follow the medical instructions:

  • Soft diet: It is recommended to consume soft foods in the first days.
  • Inflammation care: Applying local cold helps reduce the initial inflammation.
  • Oral hygiene: Maintain proper oral hygiene to avoid infections.
  • Return to routine: Most patients can return to their daily activities in 3-5 days.

Duration and results

The results of bichectomy are permanent and begin to appear progressively as the swelling disappears. During the first weeks, the face may show mild swelling, which will gradually decrease until a more defined contour is revealed. From the first month, a noticeable improvement in facial harmony can be seen, and the final result consolidates over a period of three to six months when the tissues have fully adapted to the new volume. Thanks to the precision of the technique used, the change is subtle and natural, enhancing the features without altering the expressiveness of the face.
