Bichectomy – Bichat Fat Bags

Clinical picture

Bichat fat bags are a fatty accumulation located on the inside of the cheek. They are located between the masseter muscle and the buccinator muscle, on both sides of the face.

Bichat fat bags are a fatty tissue that is free and can be removed easily.
In some patients these fat bags are very large giving a very round face and a very bulky cheek.

These bulging cheeks give the appearance of being overweight and cause a blurring of bone structures, with the prominence of cheekbones, chin and maxillary branch giving greater definition and beauty to the face.

A round face at first glance suggests an excess of adiposity in other parts of the body.
This volume of fat has no relation to the weight of the patient, it is due more to a heredofamiliar and racial constitution. There are thin patients who have bulky cheeks and vice versa.

The reduction of Bichat's fat balls seeks a sharper, more defined face, which forms a gap between the malar bone and the branch of the maxilla.

What does bichectomy consist of?

This surgery seeks to beautify the face and at the same time that it is in accordance with the rest of the body.

It can be performed as a single procedure or associated with filling the cheekbones, chin or maxillary branch and often with a non-surgical facelift with microfocalized ultrasound.

In SKIN INJURIES, Varicose veins, spider veins and vascular lesions

Varicose veins, spider veins, Ruby Nevus, Telangiectasias

Laser treatment for "spider mites", varicose veins and ruby nevi.

The laser light is absorbed by hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin from the blood, so the vessels can be coagulated under the skin, without damaging it. Thus, the spider mite is “erased” gradually.

Spider veins and vascular lesions on the face and / or lower limbs require several sessions to disappear permanently. The interval between one session and another should not be less than 30 days.

Telangiectasia laser solution

They are small, dilated blood vessels in the skin. They are generally harmless, but can be associated with various diseases.

Telangiectasias can develop anywhere within the body. However, they are more easily seen on the skin, mucous membranes, and the sclera of the eyes. They generally do not cause symptoms. Some telangiectasias bleed and cause significant problems. At Hoogstra Medical Centers we have state-of-the-art lasers to treat this disease.

Mole treatment

Well the truth was my first time and my topic is a mole on the face and I already knew that in the Hoogstra Medical Center it has very good references and the ability to eliminate by laser. I decided to start my treatment to eliminate and I am really very happy. The treatment is very warm and good. I hope to finish in the same way that I would assure you. To people who have not been treated I recommend doing it. Thank you very much.

Melasma

Helios Laser Treatment

Currently the most effective and safest treatment is the one performed with Helios Laser, with which the injury can be eliminated in a completely painless way, leaving healthy and healthy skin. The light energy of the laser is absorbed by the pigment, which is denatured without causing damage to neighboring tissues.

This condition consists of Hyperpigmented Macules (dark spots) that affect the face. It consists of several hyperpigmented patches with poorly defined edges symmetrically distributed on the face.

The forehead, cheeks, upper lip and chin are the most affected areas. The color can vary from different shades of brown to black. Sun exposure increases the degree of pigmentation. The darker pigmentations occur on the bony prominences of the forehead and cheekbones, which receive greater solar radiation.

Melasma is seen more frequently during pregnancy or when the patient takes contraceptives, but it can also appear at menopause and in men. If the patient did not contract it during pregnancy or does not take contraceptives, it must be ruled out that she does not have any ovarian disease.

The most modern and effective technology at present for the treatment of this resistant and recurrent pigmented lesion is the Helios ND Yag microfractioned laser.

Helios II has been specially designed to treat Melasma and all kinds of pigmented lesions throughout the year and even on dark and tanned skin.

Helios is a Micro Fractionated Nd: YAG Q SWITCHED Laser that uses DEO (diffractive) technology which was invented and patented by Laseroptek in 2009.

The diffractive technology divides the energy emitted by the laser into 81 stable and uniform microdots that increase the therapeutic effect without the complications that are common in other systems.

While many pigmented hand and face injuries are removed in a few sessions, the same is not true for melasma. It takes an average of 10 to 15 sessions with intervals of 7 to 15 days between one and the other to achieve partial or total remission.

This treatment must always be accompanied by photo protection every 4 hours. and suspend contraceptives.

Helios Laser Melasma Treatment Price

El costo de cada sesión es de $20.000.

The recommended interval between sessions is 15 days, it can also be weekly or monthly.

The number of sessions depends on the depth in which the pigment is housed and can range from 6 sessions or sometimes reach 20.

You will not only be able to perceive an attenuation of the spots but also an improvement in the overall quality of the skin and a rejuvenating effect.

This procedure is performed by dermatologists at the 3 centers.
