What exactly is Dimpleplasty? The Risks and the Recovery Period

Dr Siddharth Prakash, Cosmetic Surgeon, Mumbai.

Dimpleplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that creates a dimple on your cheeks. Dimples are indentations caused by smiling. Dimples are commonly found on one or both cheeks, with some having dimples on the chin as well.

Some people are born with dimples, while others may wish they had dimples. In many cultures, dimples are regarded as a sign of beauty or good fortune. Dimple surgery is becoming increasingly popular as a result of its allure. According to a survey, approximately 20-30% of the world's population has dimples, which distinguishes them. As a result, many people opt for dimpleplasty. If you want to have dimples created, you should first consult with the best cosmetic surgeon in your area. They will examine your facial features and skin to determine whether you are a good candidate for dimple creation surgery.

Surgical Method.

Our clinic in Mumbai offers dimple creation surgery as an outpatient procedure. This means you won't need to be admitted and can go home right after the procedure. We perform this surgery from within the mouth at our clinic, so you will not have any marks or stitches on the outside skin. We will first numb the cheeks with a small injection of local anaesthetic. After that, we'll make a dimple on both sides by hand. For a better shape, a small amount of fat is usually removed from the cheeks. The procedure is then completed with a single dissolvable stitch from the inside. Our one-of-a-kind surgical technique ensures a quick recovery with minimal swelling.

After-surgery recovery time.

Dimpleplasty, also known as dimple creation, is a simple surgical procedure. You will not be required to stay in the hospital following surgery. In fact, you can go home immediately following this cosmetic surgery. Mild swelling is to be expected for the next day or two. You can use ice bags to help reduce it. Typically, there is no pain. The day after your surgery, you can resume your normal activities. For a few days, avoid vigorous chewing and facial movements.

The pitfalls.

The risks associated with a dimpleplasty are minimal to none. On consultation day, we will go over any risks or minor concerns with you. Infection, bleeding, scarring, or swelling are typically rare and mild. The surgically created dimples may become less noticeable or disappear after a year or so. The procedure can be safely repeated in such cases.

The majority of people are very pleased with the dimples that resulted. These dynamic dimples will add a new dimension of 'cuteness' and 'playfulness' to your face, increasing your social appeal.
