Buccal fat pad excision for cheek refinement: A systematic review

et al. 2021

Background Buccal Fat Pad (BFP) excision has become an aesthetic surgical procedure. Although this procedure is quite common, it is important to bear in mind that the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of this treatment is scarce and of low quality. The purpose of this systematic review was to analyse all relevant data to assess the efficacy and safety of BFP excision for improving midface aesthetics. Material and Methods A thorough search of MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. The PICO approach was used where healthy patients seeking cheek slimming and facial silhouette refining undergo BFP excision and were compared before and after surgery in terms of BFP volume reduction, adverse effects and patient satisfaction. Results Of the 1,413 references identified, 4 were included in the qualitative synthesis. Only one study reported BFP volume reduction, which was 3.10 mL (95%CI: 2.38 to 3.80; P < 0.001), and the mean volume of the excised tissue was 2.74 ± 0.69 mL (range, 1.8-4.9 mL). 84.6% of the patients stated that their facial contour was much better and the remaining 15.4% noticed that the appearance of their cheeks following BFP excision was better. Seven complications were reported in the 134 cheek refinement procedures. Conclusions BFP removal has an initially favorable outcome for facial aesthetics and a low postoperative complication rate, however, there are many procedures being performed with poor quality methodology and there is also a lack of published data on its long-term follow-up results. Key words: Buccal fat pad, buccal fat pad excision, surgery, plastic, aesthetics, cheek refinement, facial silhouette refining.

“…Lograr un periodo posquirúrgico con menos complicaciones es una condición de éxito, que determina una recuperación más cómoda para el paciente. Por lo que ahora se recomienda usar la fotobiomodulación con láser de baja potencia como alternativa efectiva para el control del edema, el dolor, la reducción de la inflamación y la promoción de la comodidad del paciente en la cirugía postbichectomía (21) .…”

“…The cheek, being bilateral, requires the search for symmetry between them, being limited in its upper part by the infraorbital groove and zygomatic arch and in the lower part by the lower edge of the mandible [3]. The midline is limited by the nasolabial and labiogenian folds, while laterally it is represented by the preauricular region [4][5][6].…”

Introduction: According to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery in 2016, 7,362 people underwent bichectomy (BC), which represents 0.5% of the total number of aesthetic surgeries. In an attempt to achieve facial harmonization, BC surgery presents little complexity and is based on some well-defined steps. Even when appropriately indicated, it is still a controversial procedure, as there is no surgical technique adequately systematized in current literature, aiming to make it safe and reproducible. Objective: It was to present the main aesthetic considerations and complications of bichectomy, as well as discuss its safe management to avoid and treat problems. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from November 2023 to February 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 96 articles were found, 40 articles were evaluated in full and 28 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 12 studies with a high risk of bias and 10 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies did not show homogeneity in their results, with X2=67.9%>50%. It was concluded that on an aesthetic level, performing a bichectomy thins the middle third of the face, outlining and highlighting the bone angulations of the zygomatic region, contributing to a more pleasant facial aesthetics. Surgical removal of the Bichat ball induces a mild inflammatory process controlled by rescue medication, significantly reduces facial volume, and improves the quality of life and satisfaction with facial aesthetics 3 months postoperatively. Several studies have presented the importance of using the Bichat ball as an oral layer to close fistulas and also to cover bone grafts in implant dentistry.
