This is the long-term consequence of having a bichectomy

Have you heard about bichectomy? This famous “surgery” has gained fame and many followers because in addition to claiming to be quite simple, it also achieves immediate results.

But what does it consist of? In the extraction of the Bichat balls (glands), through a minor surgical intervention. Basically they are a kind of pocket of fat located on each cheek, below the cheekbones.

In adults they do not fulfill specific functions, they only increase the volume in the area, which means that thanks to these “balls” you may look more “chubby.” It is rumored that several actresses have resorted to this procedure to refine their faces, including: Belinda, Eiza González and Victoria Beckham.

As with any intervention there are risks, so if you decide to resort to it, you will have to do it with a specialist. But what happens next? You must have correct advice about this, and above all take into account that as you age the skin in the area could have negative effects.

Some doctors point out premature aging, facial skeletonization (the face taking on a “skull” appearance when losing weight) and even sagging. In addition, it is recommended for those people whose body proportion does not match their face, that is, they are very thin but their face is quite round.

Now that you know, think carefully before undergoing this or any other surgery and don’t forget to put yourself in the hands of a true expert.
