What is Dimpleplasty?
Surgery| Editor Nick| Posting update : 2021.07.29
Dimpleplasty is a plastic surgery that makes dimples on the cheeks. As we know, dimples appear when we smile.
They are dents appearing on the cheeks. Some people are born with dimples, while others create it through dimpleplasty.
Before undergoing dimpleplasty, it is important to consult with a doctor about your preferences and the surgery expectations.
Even if dimpleplasty is considered to be a simple surgical procedure, we recommend that you get it done by only a board-certified plastic surgeon with much experience.
Dimpleplasty is an outpatient procedure, that is you do not have to stay at the clinic after the surgery. And it is done under local anesthesia with IV sedation.
That means you will be relaxed but will not feel any pain during the surgery.
During the surgery, the doctor uses a small medical device to make a small hole on both sides of the cheeks, and then he places stitches on them.
Recovery time after dimple surgery is relatively simple. It does not require any downtime. You can apply cold packs to minimize the swelling and some bruising.
