Bisha's lumps: what are they and why are they needed?

Bisha's lumps are fat deposits located in the area of the lower cheekbones and upper part of the lower jaw. They give the face certain volumes that affect the perception of facial features. Over the years, the shape and size of fat deposits change, which is a reason for some people to consider options for their correction.

Bish's lumps usually form in childhood and can have a variety of shapes and sizes. These structures perform several important functions in early childhood:

  • Protection of facial structures: Bisha's lumps serve as a barrier to the facial nerves and muscles, protecting them from possible injury.
  • Breastfeeding support: makes breastfeeding easier for babies.
  • Help in chewing: in childhood, they help chew food more comfortably.

Over time, when the facial skeleton and muscles become more developed, the functional significance of fat capsules decreases.

What is bischectomy

Bichectomy is a modern solution for cheek correction. This is a surgical procedure in which excess fat deposits are removed to give the face a slimmer, more defined contour.

In addition to the aesthetic effect, this procedure has practically no medical indications, since Bish's lumps lose their original function over time.

When should you consider a bichectomy?

Main indications

  1. Obvious and excessive fat deposits in the cheekbone area
  2. The face is round
  3. Signs of aging: drooping cheeks and skin folds
  4. Planning other procedures, such as chin correction or cheekbone contouring, where removing bisha's lumps may enhance the effect

Contraindications

When considering removal surgery, it is important to keep some key points in mind. These include:

  1. Significant weight fluctuations that may affect the results of the procedure
  2. Young people, whose facial fat tissue naturally changes with age, may find that the results are short-lived
  3. Acute infectious diseases, especially respiratory ones
  4. Blood clotting problems or general weakening of the immune system may increase the risk of complications after surgery
  5. Epilepsy and serious mental disorders may be a risk factor

Also, active inflammatory processes on the skin of the face or in the oral cavity can become an obstacle to a successful bischectomy.

General information about the procedure

Classic method

The main tool in this method is a scalpel. Let's consider the 3 main stages of the classical procedure:

  1. Selecting a location for the incision. The surgeon makes a small incision on the inside of the cheek, approximately at the level of the 6th molar. The length of the incision is about 1-2 cm
  2. Access to adipose tissue. Once the surgeon manages to gain access, he carefully removes the fatty tissue, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient's facial structure
  3. Closing the cut. Once the procedure is complete, the incision is closed using biosoluble sutures. This method of suturing guarantees the absence of visible scars, since the seam is located inside the oral cavity

The patient is advised to use an antiseptic pad. For better healing and to prevent swelling, it is recommended to secure the area with an elastic bandage.

Laser method

Thanks to technological advances, the removal of Bisha's lumps can be carried out using laser technology.

The process resembles the classical method, but the main difference is the use of laser radiation instead of a scalpel.

Main advantages of the method:

  • Fast
  • Minimal tissue damage
  • Coagulation of blood vessels, which reduces the risk of bleeding

But it is worth considering that laser bichectomy may be more expensive due to the cost of equipment.

Potential consequences of bischectomy

As with any medical intervention, the removal procedure is associated with certain risks and potential complications. Understanding these aspects will allow the patient to make informed choices based on comprehensive information.

First of all, it is worth noting that you may encounter temporary complications such as pain, swelling and discomfort during eating or hygiene procedures. Symptoms disappear within a few days.

However, there is a risk of more serious complications. These could be:

  • Allergic reactions to medications used
  • Damage to nerves and salivary glands
  • Surgical site infections

However, with the right approach and highly qualified surgeon, these risks are minimized.

For the long term, it is also worth considering the natural changes with age. Over time, the structure of the face changes, and in the absence of Bisha's lumps, the cheekbones may become too contrasting, giving the face a certain "skeleton" appearance.

Preparation for surgery

This is a responsible event that requires careful preparation on the part of both medical personnel and the patient. Preparation is necessary to ensure patient safety and prevent possible complications.

Before the procedure, the patient will undergo several tests, including:

  • General blood test
  • Biochemical analysis
  • Coagulogram to determine blood clotting
  • Tests for HIV, RW and viral hepatitis
  • General urine analysis

If general anesthesia is necessary, a preliminary consultation with an anesthesiologist is required. Based on the information provided about diseases, allergies and other factors, the doctor will determine the most appropriate method of pain relief.

Instrumental studies involve ECG and FLG to assess the function of the heart and lungs, respectively.

It is recommended to refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for several days before the intervention. There is no need to take blood thinning drugs to avoid possible complications. During general anesthesia, the last meal should be the night before.

Removal process

Before you begin removal, you need to understand in detail each stage of this process. Let's look at the key points of the procedure.

  1. Preparation and start of the procedure. First of all, the doctor prepares the patient. At the first stage, anesthesia is administered. Depending on the specifics of the procedure and the patient's condition, this may be local anesthesia or general anesthesia. After this, the surgeon ensures the sterility of the surgical field by treating it with a special solution
  2. Main stage. The next step is to create access. The doctor makes a small incision that does not exceed 2 cm in length, depending on the chosen technique. Through this access, fatty deposits are carefully removed
  3. Completing the procedure. After removal, the wound surface is closed. The surgeon uses special sutures that completely dissolve over time. Then the outer surfaces of the seams are treated with an antiseptic to prevent possible complications

The entire bischectomy process takes from 30 to 40 minutes. Due to its simplicity and high technology, the intervention is considered low-traumatic. One of the advantages of the procedure is the ability to perform the operation on an outpatient basis, which allows the patient to return home immediately after the anesthesia wears off.

Rehabilitation after bishectomy

After the intervention, proper rehabilitation is important to ensure a safe and rapid recovery.

In the first days, patients feel pain and swelling in the intervention area, and may also experience difficulty swallowing. To reduce discomfort, it is recommended to use cold compresses and take pain relievers as prescribed by your doctor.

It is recommended to sleep on your back, avoid active facial expressions and stress on the facial muscles. It is also important to refrain from visiting baths, saunas and solariums, limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking.

Although initial symptoms subside in approximately 2-3 weeks, full recovery and visible results become noticeable after 1-2 months, when the swelling has subsided.

The main result of a bishectomy is manifested in a change in the contours of the face: reduction of the cheeks, highlighting of the cheekbones and oval of the face. The effectiveness and duration of the effect depend on the individual characteristics of the patient and his strict adherence to recommendations in the postoperative period.

I was admitted to the clinic with carcinoma. I am happy that I ended up in the hands of Ivan Aleksandrovich. A very competent, attentive to the patient, and most importantly - an honest doctor. I received answers to all my questions and was offered several options for subsequent plastic surgery. The doctor came personally for dressings, after discharge I could always ask questions at subsequent dressings. If you have a choice and have the opportunity to go to Ivan Aleksandrovich - know that you are in reliable and good hands.

I had surgery in this clinic with Mitoyan Ruzanna Yesaievna, the doctor made an impression from the first appointment. During the consultation, everything was explained in detail about how it goes, what is needed for the operation to take place, and what recovery is like. I received very competent answers to all my questions, I compare with other clinics where I consulted, they wanted to impose such a feeling more than anything else. I really liked her delicacy, attentiveness, charge with calm and confidence. On February 22, 2024, I had upper blepharoplasty, the operation went perfectly, the postoperative period was easy, I followed all the recommendations and no problems arose, there were almost no bruises or swelling and everything healed very quickly. I want to express my deep gratitude to you for your professionalism and light hand! I was delighted with my eyes! It’s been a long time since my look has been so fresh and not overweight. And another miracle that you did - you saved all my colored permanent makeup on my eyelids!

Many thanks to Galina Telnova. Great professional. In December 23, I had my eyes done (bottom, top), I was terribly afraid that my appearance would change, that something would go wrong. Everything went perfectly. Attentive nurses. Galina Sergeevna inspires with calmness and confidence. Very grateful. I like myself very much. If I decide to undergo any more plastic surgery, only go to Galina Sergeevna Telnova.

I had breast shape correction and abdominoplasty done at K+31. After the operation, I spent only 3 days in the ward, after which I went home and recovered at home. I waited about two months for complete healing. The clinic (West) has excellent staff, friendly attitude

Many thanks to plastic surgeons K+31! All my life I suffered from back pain due to the constant load on the spine... Finally, at the age of 45, I decided to have a breast reduction. Within a week, the swelling went down and I finally had small breasts. The rehabilitation period passed as quickly as possible and without complications.

The augmentation was done in early autumn with round Mentor implants. I wanted to achieve the maximum effect and I was right. The breasts are firm, soft and beautiful, the seams are not visible. +100 to confidence. If you want a more natural effect, the doctor may suggest teardrop-shaped implants.

The doctor was in touch, the rehabilitation period was easy.

Ruzanna Yesaievna made the most pleasant impression on me even during the consultation. She explained everything in detail about the operation, anesthesia options, and rehabilitation. After the consultation, we set a date for the surgery. The operation itself went well, there were no complications. Although I planned to spend the night under observation, I went home because I felt good. It is now 9 days after surgery. There was no pain from the word at all, not a single seam came apart. Now the healing is progressing at its own pace, without causing me any discomfort. And the result is already incredibly pleasing! Ruzanna Yesaievna is a tough professional who does her job with love. I am very glad that I ended up with her. Choosing a surgeon is a rather difficult process. Based on my experience, I can confidently recommend Ruzanna Yesaievna.
