Abstract

Bichectomy aims to partially remove the adipose tissue from the cheek and can result in temporary or even permanent complications. A male patient presented to the Emergency of the General Hospital in Bahia state shortly after bichectomy, presenting with a rapidly forming and expansive hematoma in the left buccal space. A of treatment, surgical drainage with ligation of the buccal artery was performed, followed by compressive dressing for 72 hours, and the patient was discharged from the hospital with regression of the swelling. Expansive hematomas be immediately drained to prevent progression to abscess and/or fibrosis, and this was done accordingly.
