WHAT IS IT?
A dimpleplasty is a type of plastic surgery used to create dimples on the
cheeks. Dimples are the indentations that occur when some people smile.
They’re most often located on the bottoms of the cheeks.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE ?
The procedure includes the following steps:-
ï‚· Assessing the best location of the dimples, where they would appear naturally.
ï‚· Making an incision on the inner surface of your cheek, inside your mouth (there are no scars made on
the outer surface).
ï‚· Tying an absorbable suture at the location of the incision.
HOW IS THE RECOVERY ?
Recovery from dimpleplasty is relatively straightforward. You don’t need to
stay in the hospital. In fact, you can usually go home immediately after the
surgery. Soon after the procedure, you might experience mild swelling. You
can apply cold packs to reduce swelling, but it will usually go away on its
own within a few days.
Most people can return to work, school, and other regular activities two
days after having a dimpleplasty. Your surgeon will likely want to see you a
couple of weeks after the procedure to assess the results.
