Plastic surgery today is very popular among people of different ages and even social groups. So, not only public people, but even citizens of the most ordinary, far from secular professions, strive to adjust their appearance. Now I want to talk about such a procedure as removing Bisha's lumps: when and how this operation is performed.
What it is?
Initially, you need to understand the terminology and find out what exactly will be discussed. Bisha lumps are an accumulation of fat masses in the cheek cavity, which form this particular part of the body. That is, this formation, which hides under the skin and creates an oval face, giving additional volume in its lower part.
Bisch’s lumps are named after the scientist who first described these structures in detail - the French physiologist and anatomist Marie Francois Xavier Bichat.
Functions of lumps Bisha
It should be noted that even if these formations are in the human body, scientists still have not been able to understand why they are needed. In this regard, there are several versions, due to which the purpose of Bisha lumps is explained:
- This is a special laying in the oral cavity, thanks to which a person can chew food with the least cost for the body.
- Like other body fat, Bisha lumps protect the face from various injuries and injuries.
- According to the latest version, their main purpose is to improve the sucking reflex in newborn babies.
Scientists also argue that in adulthood, these formations do not play any role at all. Moreover, over the years they become more noticeable, and closer to venerable years they can make the lower part of the cheeks heavier. That is why often people want to get rid of them completely.
In children, Bish's lumps are more noticeable, which gives the cheeks of the babies a cute swelling. With age, these formations become less visible, since they do not grow together with other body tissues. It is also important to note that if a person wants to lose weight, the size of Bisha's lumps will remain the same. After all, these are very dense fat formations, which practically do not change in size.
Indications for use of the operation
In what situations can a doctor prescribe a removal of lumps in Bish? So, you need to remember that this is an operative measure, which in any case will affect the body. So you need to take this procedure very seriously, having weighed all the pros and cons of the operation. Most often, specialists appoint a procedure as an aesthetic improvement in the shape of the face. Other indications:
- Age-related omission of the lower part of the cheek.
- The round face of the patient, and therefore Bich's lumps make the cheeks even more rounded.
- Visually too big lumps of Bish in comparison with body shapes.
- Also, these formations can be removed if the nasolabial folds are manifested too much. After surgery, the bends of the face become much softer.
It should also be noted that before the operation, the patient should be offered the service of computer modeling of the face. In this case, a person will be able to see how he will look after the procedure, and decide whether such a result suits him.
Things to remember when deciding on an operation
It should be noted that the operation to remove Bisha's lumps is a procedure practically harmless to the body (except for the effects of anesthesia). However, previously a person should know a couple of simple nuances:
- The operation itself lasts an average of 35 minutes. After her there is no need to spend time in a hospital.
- During surgery, both local and general anesthesia can act.
- After the operation, the incisions will not be visible, scars can also not be afraid. Visually, nothing will be reminded of the procedure.
- Removal of lumps of Bisha can be carried out both completely and partially. That is why it is very important to choose a good specialist who can decide how much fat to leave and how much to remove.
It should also be noted that it is possible to correct the shape of the face not only by completely deleting these formations. Moving lumps of Bish in the zygomatic area is another subtype of the operation. In this case, the cheekbones will more clearly stand out in a person. But, again, the doctor decides this together with the patient himself at the stage of modeling the final result.
Contraindications to the use of the procedure
In some cases, the doctor can refuse to perform a procedure to remove lumps of Bisha:
- The age of the patient is up to 25 years. After all, lumps can still decrease on their own.
- Health problems: various chronic diseases, inflammatory processes. Contraindication is diabetes mellitus, as well as a bleeding disorder.
- Also, doctors will not undertake to operate on those patients whose weight indicators are unstable.
Preparation for surgery
It is very important to prepare for an operation to remove lumps of Bish. So, for this, you must first prepare:
- It is necessary to pass all the necessary tests.
- It is also important to talk with your doctor about possible complications. In this case, the doctor must learn all the information about the patient’s health problems, about his chronic diseases and other nuances.
- It is also important to make sure that the doctor has correctly understood what the patient expects from the operation. Although the result after the operation is noticeable, face correction will not be as radical as a person can hope for.
And what else is important to say: the operation should be carried out exclusively in a medical institution, and not in a beauty salon. Indeed, in case of complications (although they rarely occur), you need to have all the necessary medical equipment at hand.
A little about the operation itself
As it has already become clear, the removal of lumps of Bish is carried out by surgical intervention. At the same time, there are two main methods that experts use to choose from:
- You can remove the formation through the inner side of the cheek.
- You can remove the formation through an incision on the outside of the cheek.
The first technique is the least dangerous and less traumatic. After all, lumps of Bisha are located closer to the inside of the cheek. So, the specialist makes an incision on the mucous membrane, delaminates the muscles and removes a lump of fat. After this, the simplest seam is applied, which after a certain period of time simply dissolves. There is absolutely no harm to the mucous membrane. Also, this type of operation does not require a long process of restoration of the skin on the face.
The anatomy of a person’s face is such that it is easier to remove Bisha’s lumps through cuts on the inside of the cheek. Doctors may offer to extract these formations through the external side only in case of another, parallel operation. And the removal of lumps of Bish will be carried out simply as an application. After all, this technique is much more complicated and traumatic, the process of tissue repair after such a procedure is longer and harder. And there is a huge risk of damage to the nerve endings, as well as the salivary glands, which are located next to the lumps.
It is also important to note that this operation is not considered plastic. Indeed, the anatomy of the face in this case does not change. The purpose of the procedure is to adjust the patient's appearance.
Postoperative period
It should be noted that if the operation was performed by incising the inside of the cheek, the recovery process will be quite quick and simple. Already after the patient moves away from anesthesia, and the doctor makes sure that everything is in order with the person, you can go home. There is no need to be in a hospital. Edema, of course, will be. But they will completely disappear on the third day. If the doctor did not use self-absorbable material, after 7-8 days you will need to drive up to remove the seams.
If the removal of Bish's lumps was an additional procedure for another operation, then, most likely, the recovery process will not be so quick and easy. In this case, you just need to carefully listen to the surgeon and carefully follow all the instructions of the doctor. And then everything will return to normal in the shortest possible time.
Post-operative recovery process
What ends the removal of Bisha's lumps? Patient reviews indicate that the recovery process is completely uncomplicated. So, for a couple of weeks you will have to abandon physical activity on the whole body and the jaw as well. At first, you will have to eat only liquid food, then you will need to avoid dishes that require thorough chewing. The temperature of the food should be extremely average. Hot or cold foods should be avoided. It is also important to maintain oral hygiene: after eating, brush your teeth or at least rinse your mouth.
The doctor will not prescribe drugs. Just can prescribe drugs that will help prevent the occurrence of inflammation on the inside of the cheek.
Important Nuances to Know and Remember
What else do you need to know when deciding to remove Bisha's lumps? Before and after the operation, the person’s appearance will not differ too much. Although these fat deposits will be removed, the oval of the face will not change so significantly. Appearance is only being adjusted. So wait for something supernova in appearance is not worth it.
How much does it cost to remove Bisha's lumps? The price of the procedure may be different, but varies between 300-500 dollars. If the clinic or beauty salon offers a lower price, it is worth doubting whether everything is in order. In this case, you need to check the reputation of the institution and all the documents of the doctor who will conduct the operation.
