Lumps of Bisha

Bisha's lumps are fat bags (about 5 centimeters long), evenly located between the cheek and chewing muscles, under the zygomatic arch. The fat bags got their name in honor of Marie Bichat, the anatomist who discovered and first described them.
Anatomically, Bisha`s lumps are formed from three parts: posterior, middle and anterior. They are “packaged” (located in a capsule), which is why they do not disappear when losing weight and almost do not react to massage and injections of fat-soluble drugs ( lipolytics ).
Fat bags are most noticeable in young children. They give the child's face swelling and roundness, causing tenderness. Gradually, Bish's lumps undergo reduction - they are distributed along the cheekbones, decreasing in size. After reaching the age of 25, for most people they become almost invisible.
