Buccal Fat Removal

Removing Bisha's lumps

Grace and sophistication of the lower third of the face, natural shadow under a pointed cheekbone, sunken cheeks - all these effects can be achieved by working with Bish's lumps.
Bisha's lumps are connective tissue capsules with fat accumulations inside, located in the tissues of the cheek. Some of the lumps are located above the muscles, some are located inside the muscle layers. In infancy and childhood, these formations protect tissues from damage and promote the gliding of elements of the facial muscles, and in adulthood they have no function other than the formation of the subzygomatic region.

Surgical technique

Before the operation to remove Bisha's lumps, the doctor conducts the necessary research, examination and consultation. The type and type of anesthesia is selected: this operation can be performed both under general anesthesia and under local anesthesia.

  • If we are talking exclusively about removing these formations, then the operation is performed through intraoral access. If work with Bisha's lumps is carried out as a component of one of the operations, for example, liposculpture, then incisions already made during the operation are used to access these fatty deposits.
  • The surgeon tightens the fat capsules, separates them from the surrounding tissue and removes them. The size of one capsule is comparable to the size of a walnut, so the trauma when removing them is minimal.
  • Self-absorbing sutures are placed on the incision area. A special substance is applied to the mucosal area to promote rapid healing and protection.
The operation to remove Bish's lumps lasts 30-60 minutes.

Rehabilitation period

To make rehabilitation as easy as possible, the following recommendations should be followed:

  • The patient needs to monitor his diet especially carefully: during the first 2-3 days, slight swelling occurs on both sides of the face in the cheek area, so be sure to eat liquid food during this time. It is better to eat this way in the first 7 days after surgery so as not to put stress on the masticatory muscles; in addition, at this time it is better to avoid hot and spicy foods. After each meal, you must brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly.
  • In the first 7-10 days you should sleep on your back, on a high pillow.
  • On the 8-10th day after surgery, the swelling will completely subside and the pain will go away. 3-4 weeks after the operation you will be able to go to the gym, visit the sauna and bathhouse.
