Bichat Fat Pad Resection

Refine Your Facial Contours

Refine cheek fullness for a slimmer, more defined facial contour through a small internal incision.

What Is Bichat Fat Pad Resection?

The Bichat fat pad is a pocket of fat located beneath the cheekbones. Removing a portion of this fat can help refine the lower cheek area and create more definition in the face.

This procedure can be particularly useful for individuals with a fuller or heavier-set face who want greater facial shape and contour.

A Minimally Invasive Approach

Dr. Bensimon accesses the Bichat fat pad through a small approximately 1 cm incision inside the mouth, leaving no visible external scar.

The procedure can often be performed under local anesthesia or combined with other facial procedures when appropriate.

Natural Facial Definition

Dr. Bensimon carefully evaluates your facial structure and goals to determine whether Bichat fat pad resection is right for you. The aim is to create a natural, balanced and refined facial contour.
