Dimpleplasty

Here’s how dimpleplasty is typically performed:

1. Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon or cosmetic surgeon. During this consultation, the patient discusses their goals and expectations, and the surgeon evaluates their facial anatomy to determine the best placement for the dimples.
2. Anesthesia: Dimpleplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the treatment area and minimizes discomfort.
3. Creating Incisions: The surgeon makes small incisions on the inside of the cheeks or chin, where the dimples will be created. These incisions are made on the inner side to hide any scars.
4. Suturing: A suture is passed through the inside of the cheek or chin and tied to create a dimple-like effect. The suture is anchored to the inner cheek or chin tissue and the skin, which causes a dimple to form when the underlying muscle is contracted during a smile.
5. Closing the Incision: Once the dimple is created, the incisions are closed with sutures, and any resulting scars are typically well-concealed within the mouth.
6. Recovery: Dimpleplasty is generally a relatively quick procedure with minimal downtime. Patients may experience some swelling and discomfort for a few days, but these side effects usually subside relatively quickly. Most individuals can resume their normal activities within a short time.

The results of dimpleplasty are noticeable immediately after the procedure, and the appearance of the dimples becomes more natural as the tissues heal and settle. Dimpleplasty typically provides permanent results, as the dimples are a structural modification of the cheek or chin tissues. However, the exact appearance and depth of the dimples may evolve during the healing process.

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with dimpleplasty, including infection, scarring, or asymmetry. It’s essential for individuals considering dimple creation surgery to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can discuss their specific goals and expectations and explain the potential benefits and risks of the procedure.
