To create a dimple, a small painless incision is first made on the inner side of the cheek. There are no incisions, no scars on the outer side of the skin. A tiny absorbable suture is passed through the inner side of the cheek and holds on the inner surface of the skin to achieve the desired dimple. When the suture is tied up, the dimples in the overlying skin is visible. For the first few days, after following the procedure, the dimples will be present even without smiling but after some days or weeks, the dimple will become visible only while you smile or if the facial muscles are moving. It is clear enough that the procedure is relatively a safe and is typically performed leaving behind no visible scars on the outer side of the face.
After undergoing the dimple creation procedure, most of the patients experience some swelling on the cheek after the dimple creation surgery. But those are minimum, even medications for pain may not be required. There is practically no downtime involved in this procedure so the patients can return to their home with the brand new dimples. The new dimples will appear completely natural leaving behind no visible scars on the outer side.
Though it is a minor procedure and do not usually involve any risk but like any surgical procedure does include the chances of some rising issues, similarly the dimple creation too may also involve some potential drawbacks. After undergoing a dimple creation the cheek muscles may become weak and that may last for few days or even weeks. Though, as mentioned earlier, this phenomenon is rare. The results obtained may not always be desired, some may want a deeper dimple whereas others may want shallow one. Now dimple reverse surgery can be performed but that does not guarantee a successful procedure. The suture holdings may prematurely break due to excess swelling or for some other reasons which are a rare phenomenon too.
This is a simple procedure that does not involve much preparation or advice after the procedure. However, before undergoing the procedure the current health history of the patient and allergic reaction to which all drugs are reviewed by the surgeons. A routine laboratory testing is performed to analyze the physical condition of the patients. The patients are also asked to stop smoking at least two weeks before the procedure and one week after the procedure, because nicotine may slow down the recovery procedure. Since the procedure is a simple the patients can resume office immediately the next day and if some pain or discomfort exists then it can be resolved with prescribed medications.
