It helps you to see cases similar to yours and gain an idea of the final result.<\/p>\n<h2>BEFORE FEMINIZING BICHECTOMY<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What can your bichectomy achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A bichectomy removes some or all of your buccal fat pads. This helps slim your cheeks and accentuate your cheekbones, attaining a more slender, stylised face.<\/p>\n<p>A bichectomy is ideal for trans women wishing to define their cheekbones and stylise their facial contours.<\/p>\n<h2>FEMINIZING BICHECTOMY SURGERY<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Buccal fat pad removal surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A bichectomy is a minor, minimally invasive surgical procedure that only takes about 30\u201345 minutes. It is performed under local anaesthetic in the area to be treated. This surgery is performed on an outpatient basis without requiring hospitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>It consists of removing the buccal fat pads by making an incision on the inside of the cheeks from which the fat is accessed and extracted.<\/p>\n<p>The incision, which is very small and leaves no visible scar as it is on the inside of the mouth, is closed with resorbable sutures.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that this surgery does not affect movement or facial expression.<br \/>\nThis surgery is not recommended for people with excess flaccidity as the result may not be the one desired.<\/p>\n<h2>POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD IN FEMINIZING BICHECTOMY<\/h2>\n<p><strong>After buccal fat pad removal surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally, post-operative discomfort is similar to that of a tooth extraction. Therefore, 24 hours of rest is recommended after the operation.<\/p>\n<p>You must pay special attention to your oral hygiene after the operation and opt for a soft diet over the next seven days. During this time it is important to avoid any strenuous effort with your mouth such as spitting or whistling.<\/p>\n<h2>THE RESULTS OF FEMINIZING BICHECTOMY<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The results of the bichectomy are fully visible by four to six weeks after surgery, once the swelling has fully disappeared. As this surgery is performed inside your mouth, it leaves no visible scars.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a slimmer, lengthened face showing finer features, with more emphasis on your cheekbones.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">TIPS AFTER <strong>FEMINIZING BICHECTOMY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You must have twenty-four hours of rest and a soft diet during the whole week following the Bichectomy surgery.<\/p>\n<p>You should follow the oral hygiene advice your IM GENDER team gives you to avoid any complications.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important you do not miss any visits after your surgery so that the IM GENDER medical team can evaluate your progress.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to read more of IM GENDER\u2019s experiences and testimonials?<\/p>\n<p>IM GENDER team<\/p>\n<p>At IM GENDER we have been specialising in the care of transgender people for more than 20 years.
