Dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic procedure performed to create a small indentation in one or both cheeks. The position, depth, and size of the dimple are planned according to the patient’s facial structure, cheek anatomy, and personal preference. The procedure is generally performed through a small incision inside the mouth, avoiding an external facial scar. A connection is created between the inner cheek tissue and skin so that a dimple appears during smiling. The aim is to achieve a natural-looking result that complements the patient’s facial expressions.
Did you Know?
• Dimple creation surgery may be performed on one cheek or both cheeks, depending on the patient’s preference and facial balance. • The procedure is usually performed through an incision inside the mouth, so it generally does not leave a visible external scar. • Newly created dimples may initially remain visible at rest before becoming more noticeable mainly during facial movement and smiling. • The size, position, and depth of the dimples can be planned according to individual cheek anatomy and desired appearance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DIMPLE CREATION SURGERY
Dimple creation is a personalised cosmetic procedure that requires careful planning of position, depth, and symmetry. These frequently asked questions explain the treatment, recovery, results, and risks.
1. What is dimple creation surgery?
Dimple creation surgery, or dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that creates a small indentation in the cheek by connecting the skin to deeper cheek tissue.
2. Who may be suitable for dimpleplasty?
Healthy adults who desire one or two cheek dimples and have realistic expectations may be considered suitable after a detailed facial assessment and medical consultation.
3. How is dimple creation surgery performed?
The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth and places a stitch between the cheek muscle and skin to create the desired indentation.
4. Is dimple creation surgery performed under anaesthesia?
The procedure is commonly performed using local anaesthesia, which numbs the treatment area while allowing the patient to remain comfortable during surgery.
5. Can I choose the position of my dimples?
Yes. The surgeon discusses the preferred location, size, and depth while considering facial anatomy, smile pattern, cheek movement, and overall symmetry.
6. Will there be a visible scar?
The incision is generally made inside the mouth, so no external facial scar is expected. Internal healing may still vary between patients.
7. How long does recovery take?
Swelling and mild discomfort usually improve gradually over several days. Most patients can resume routine activities relatively soon, following their surgeon’s instructions.
8. Will the dimples look natural?
The dimples may initially appear prominent or visible at rest. As healing progresses, they generally soften and become more noticeable while smiling.
9. Are dimpleplasty results permanent?
Dimple creation is intended to provide long-lasting results, although depth and appearance may change over time because of healing, tissue relaxation, or facial ageing.
10. What are the possible risks?
Possible risks include infection, bleeding, swelling, asymmetry, an overly deep or shallow dimple, altered sensation, scarring, or the need for corrective treatment.
