Did we get it right? Perfect, because today we’re going to tell you how much a bichectomy costs in Spain. Don’t miss it!

How much does a bichectomy cost in Spain in 2025?

Price of a Bichectomy in Spain in 2024

As with any cosmetic surgery, the price of a bichectomy in Spain can depend on several factors such as:

  • The needs and expectations of the patient.
  • The clinic where the procedure is performed.
  • The reputation of the surgeon performing the surgery.
  • Hospital and nursing expenses.

However, if we look at the cost of this surgery in all the clinics across Spain, we could say that the average price of a bichectomy ranges between €2,000 and €3,500. However, remember that this is just an estimate. Each clinic, city, and surgeon has their own set prices, and you could be above or below this average. Don’t forget that!

What are the bichectomy prices at Clínica Fernández Blanco in 2025?

As mentioned earlier, the bichectomy prices will depend on the needs and expectations the patient has regarding this procedure.

However, at Clínica Fernández Blanco, we offer a unique financing system of up to 5 years, which allows our patients to undergo any type of cosmetic surgery at our clinics in Madrid or Marbella, paying small monthly installments until the total cost of their surgery is covered. 

Recommendations for choosing the best bichectomy surgeon

Tips for Choosing the Best Bichectomy Surgeon

We are pioneers in advocating professionalism and prestige in cosmetic surgery. Therefore, our first piece of advice will always be: make sure the surgeon is certified, qualified, and specialized in facial plastic surgery, as this will ensure that the results of your bichectomy are as expected.

Now, how can you know if a plastic surgeon is certified and specializes in facial cosmetic surgery?

Simple! You just need to check the results of the bichectomies they have performed in their cosmetic surgery clinic (usually displayed as before and after photos, like in the case of Clínica FB), or research the reviews, ratings, and comments from patients about that surgeon.

How long does it take to recover from a bichectomy?

Although bichectomy is an outpatient procedure and people can return to their daily or academic activities immediately, it is necessary to maintain relative rest for about 7 days. The reason? It’s the time it takes for the swelling and redness of the treated area to disappear.

After the week, the patient must attend a follow-up consultation where the specialist will remove the stitches and check for any side effects or post-operative complications.

Once the specialist has ensured that everything is going well, the patient will be discharged and can resume their regular routine without any restrictions.

How long does it take to see the results of a bichectomy?

Before and after bichectomy in a young patient, performed at Clínica Fernández Blanco.

Results begin to be visible starting from the second week (sometimes up to the third week). However, to see the final results, the patient must wait 6 months after the surgery, as this is the time needed for the skin on the cheeks to appear thin, sculpted, and well-contoured.

What are the recommended post-bichectomy care instructions?

  • No smoking: Tobacco smoke and nicotine have very negative effects on healing and are responsible for increasing the risk of postoperative infections.
  • No drinking alcohol: Consuming alcohol can increase the likelihood of internal bleeding after surgery, as it causes vasodilation of blood vessels.
  • No exercise: Activities that require a lot of mobility, strength, and energy may cause improper healing of the treated area. It’s best to suspend rigorous physical activities for the time recommended by your surgeon. However, low-intensity exercises (like walking or stretching) are allowed.
  • Soft diet: Soft and liquid foods will help avoid discomfort when eating and prevent stitches from opening.
  • Eat slowly: Fast and strong movements while eating can cause pain after a bichectomy. It’s recommended to eat slowly to avoid pain, discomfort, or irritation during recovery.
  • Talk less: After bichectomy, it’s best to avoid straining facial muscles, as this helps speed up recovery and ensures positive healing.
  • Care for oral hygiene: You should brush gently to avoid negatively affecting the wound.
  • Use compression bandage: After the bichectomy, your surgeon will recommend using a compression bandage to reduce swelling. This should be worn during the first 48 hours after surgery.
