The issue of how a bichectomy is performed is important because many people considering this operation are generally confused about this. First of all, many people think of this operation as an operation performed under general anesthesia. However, this is not exactly the case.
Anesthesia is applied to people, but since it is local, it is a kind of outpatient surgery. Therefore, we can say that it is a suitable operation for patients with fear of general anesthesia. In addition, for those who are curious, the surgical procedure steps are as follows;
Before the operation, people’s mouth is cleaned and it is aimed to prevent infection problems that may occur during the operation.
Local anesthesia is then applied to the patient.
After the necessary numbness is achieved, the specialist doctor creates a small incision in the cheek and removes the fat bags with the help of forceps.
After the fat bags are removed, the area is stitched.
After this procedure is applied to both cheeks, your doctor applies a bandage with a compression effect.
If patients pay attention to some important points before bichectomy surgery, a much faster recovery will be achieved. In addition, some important points to be considered will make the operation more comfortable and trouble-free. In this respect, the points that patients should pay attention to before the operation are as follows;
The patient should stop alcohol and cigarette intake for 1 week before the surgery.
In addition, the use of aspirin and similar blood thinners should be discontinued a few days before the operation.
If there is a drug that the patient uses regularly, he must inform his doctor about these drugs before the operation.
Those with serious health problems and pregnant women should consult their doctor before the operation and undergo the operation accordingly.
Although the operation does not pose a risk factor for pregnant women since local anesthesia is applied, people should consult their doctors about this. In addition, it would be much more reasonable to postpone the operation until after the pregnancy period, since people have weight gain and especially edema problems during pregnancy.
The recovery period of patients after bichectomy surgery may be different from each other. Recovery can be observed in every patient within an average of 14 days. In this process, patients should pay attention to some important points in order to positively affect the healing process. These important points are;
During the first three days, cold drinks and soft foods should be consumed. This will prevent any possible bleeding that may occur in the cheek area.
It is also important that the patient is not exposed to the sun after the operation.
After the operation, it is possible to face a possible inflammation problem in the lower jaw area. This situation can continue for an average of 3-6 months.
Conditions such as swelling and bruising may occur after the operation. In this case, there is no need to worry. In a short time, this will pass by itself.
