Dimple Creation

Dimple surgery is plastic surgery of the face. It is done to create cheek dimples. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia.

The patient can go home after a few hours. Although the procedure takes only 30 minutes, we like to observe the patient for at least 2 hours after that.

What Happens in Dimple Creation Surgery?

Before taking you to the operating room to create dimples, the plastic surgeon first marks the correct anatomical position of the dimples on your face in front of a mirror.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia by completely numbing the area. There is no pain during the procedure.

A small incision is placed inside the mouth to release the facial muscles called buccinators. That is, a small portion of the muscle is separated from its attachments to the overlying skin as well as the mucosa inside the mouth.

An absorbable suture is then placed across the cheek, bringing the two surfaces, skin and mucosa, together in between the separated muscle. The knot is tied inside the mouth. There are no incisions or knots on the skin outside.

This suture is left in place for it to dissolve on its own. No dressing is required.

Cold packs are applied for twenty minutes to reduce post-operative swelling.

So, I want to get Dimple Surgery. How do I proceed?

The first step always is to book an appointment and consult with the cosmetic surgeon.

Your plastic surgeon will perform an in-depth analysis of your face and ask you some relevant questions. This is precisely the time when you should discuss what you want and what you are apprehensive about. Don't be shy. All questions are important. You should be aware of all the pros and cons.

The surgeon then proceeds to mark dimples on your face and emulate the dimpling using earbuds to show you in front of a mirror.

After making up your mind, you need to fix a date for the surgery.

You are asked to come to the surgical center at least 2 hours before the time slot allotted for your surgery.

It is essential to come on an empty stomach if your procedure is planned under sedation or GA. Please carefully read and follow all the pre-operative instructions given to you at the time of appointment.

You will be given time immediately before the surgery to discuss any last-minute doubts with the surgeon. The surgeon, along with you, will mark the location of your new dimples with an aesthetic analysis in front of a mirror. Once you are ready, you will be taken to the operation theater.
