Cheek surgery or BICHAT POCKET EXTRACTION is a procedure indicated for people who wish to reduce the bulge in their cheeks secondary to the presence of these fat pads that produce a too round face, thus contributing to a facial imbalance.
The growth of these fat pads is not directly related to the body weight of the person; the structural function they have is insignificant so their removal is not accompanied by substantial anatomical and functional sequelae.
