In recent years there has been a growing number of procedures for the removal of the buccal fat pad (BFP) or as frequently referred to as bichectomy. Buccal fat pad removal can be used as part of the therapeutic procedure in cases of: sinus buco fistulas, peri-orbital defects, congenital palatal fissure, patients with severe bruxism, patients with constant lesions caused by bites on the jugal mucosa and in patients who are dissatisfied with the facial contour. In cases of thinning of the face, biting lesions and bruxism, total or partial of the BFP removal is performed, always taking into account a facial harmonization. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the procedure of BFP removal and its respective postoperative period. A total of 40 BFP removal surgeries were performed between 2016 and 2017 with intraoral access technique. After the bichectomy procedure the subjects were followed for: 4, 7, 10, 15, 30, and 90 days. The postoperative period can be compared to that of a third molar extraction, and the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatories can adequately control the pain symptomatology. Edema and mouth opening limited for about 15 days were the most commonly found alterations in surgeries performed. The surgical technique is a simple and safe procedure provided by trained and experienced professionals. The bichectomy should be performed following a precise indication and the procedure is becoming a new area of practice for the dental surgeon, who can perform the procedure safely, reliably and with aesthetic and therapeutic results provided that with precise indications.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Limitation of mouth opening after the surgical procedure | to evaluate during the post-operative period the limitation of mouth opening, by means of manual pachymeter, and measured in millimeters. | 90 days | |
Primary | presence of local edema | to evaluate in the post-operative period the presence of local edema. the presence of local edema will be verified through the patient's report, and the researcher's preservation through the photographs obtained in the preoperative period. | 90 days | |
Primary | The facial contour was modified in the malar region after the surgical procedure. | photographs obtained before and after the surgical procedure will be placed in the PortraitPro 11 software and assessed for facial contour. The observed difference will be measured in millimeters | 90 days |
