In this surgical procedure the adipose bags of Bichat, located between the macetero muscle and the buccinator muscle, on both sides of the face, are reduced. These two muscles, which allow chewing movements, need lubrication deposits, which in this case are the Bichat bags.
This procedure achieves an adequate contouring of the facial structures, highlighting the cheekbones and defining the mandibular ridge.
