Understanding Buccal Fat Removal and Dimple Surgery: Estherian Clinic Shares Insights on Facial Contouring Trends

ISTANBUL, TR / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2025 /As facial aesthetics continue to shape cosmetic surgery trends globally, procedures such as buccal fat removal surgery, bichectomy, and dimple creation are gaining traction among individuals seeking permanent facial contouring. Estherian Clinic, a medical aesthetics center based in Istanbul, offers detailed insight into these procedures to help patients make informed decisions.

What Is Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy)?

Buccal fat removal surgery, medically referred to as bichectomy, is a facial slimming procedure that involves the removal of fat pads from the lower cheeks. These fat pads, called buccal fat, sit between the facial muscles and contribute to cheek fullness.

This minimally invasive surgery is commonly performed under local anesthesia. By removing excess fat from this area, surgeons can create a more contoured facial structure, particularly enhancing cheekbone definition and narrowing the lower face. Results are typically permanent, as buccal fat does not regenerate.

The procedure has become popular among individuals with naturally round or fuller faces who desire a more sculpted appearance. It is often chosen by patients who want a subtle but lasting alternative to makeup contouring or filler treatments.

How Is It Performed?

The procedure generally takes between 30 to 60 minutes. A small incision is made inside the cheek, through which the buccal fat is carefully extracted. Because the incision is internal, there are no visible scars. Recovery time is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.

Post-operative swelling is common and may take a few weeks to fully subside. Final results are usually visible within two to three months after surgery.

Dimple Creation Surgery: Aesthetic and Cultural Appeal

Alongside facial slimming procedures, dimple surgery-also known as dimple creation-is in demand for patients seeking natural-looking facial dimples. Dimples are considered an attractive feature in many cultures and are often associated with youthful appearance and expressive smiles.

Dimple creation surgery is a quick, outpatient procedure that involves making a small incision inside the cheek and placing a suture to create an indentation. The goal is to mimic the natural adhesion between the skin and facial muscles that cause dimples to form when smiling.

The surgery typically takes around 20-30 minutes and can be done under local anesthesia. Initial results may appear static (visible at rest), but over time the tissue heals and the dimple becomes visible primarily during facial movement-much like a naturally occurring dimple.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?

Buccal fat removal and dimple creation are suitable for individuals in good general health with realistic expectations. Ideal candidates for buccal fat removal are those with fuller cheeks who wish to achieve a more defined facial contour. Dimple creation is best for patients seeking subtle facial enhancement without altering overall facial structure.

Consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon is necessary to determine suitability and expected outcomes for either procedure.

Conclusion

The growing interest in facial contouring has brought procedures like bichectomy and dimple surgery into mainstream cosmetic practice. Both are minimally invasive, low-downtime options that offer long-term results with proper care and surgical precision.

Estherian Clinic provides detailed consultations and customized treatment plans for patients interested in these procedures, ensuring safety, aesthetic balance, and informed decision-making.
