Overview

More and more young females and males are requesting the creation of dimples on their faces to enhance their looks. Many believe that dimples may bring them good fortune, beauty, and fertility.

Consultation

During the consultation, with the help of computer imaging, the location, number, and size of the dimple can be decided. Once the aesthetic attributes are decided to the patient's satisfaction, the patient must understand the procedure, its benefits, and its risks.

Procedure

    Dimple surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and no admission is required. The steps are as follows:
    • Marking and Anesthetizing: The desired position of the dimple on the skin is marked and anesthetized.
    • Incision: Through the mouth, a small cuff (4-6mm) of cheek lining and underlying muscle is removed.
    • Suturing: A double suture of nylon is placed in the skin and muscle to develop the dimple.
    • Closing: The cheek lining is closed with dissolvable suturing material.

After Surgery

  • Swelling Management: Use ice packs for 2-3 days to reduce swelling.
  • Diet: Patients can resume a normal diet immediately.
  • Facial Animation: Patients are advised to avoid excessive facial animation to expedite the resolution of edema.
  • Dimple Appearance: The dimple will appear at rest and in animation for 6 to 8 weeks, then gradually disappear, becoming naturally visible only during facial expressions thereafter.

Results

  • Patients can expect localized fat reduction over several sessions, with visible improvements in body contouring.
  • The procedure is well-suited for individuals seeking a non-surgical method to address stubborn fat deposits, contributing to enhanced body confidence and appearance.

Complications

  • Persistent Swelling: Ongoing swelling may occur.
  • Asymmetry: Uneven dimples may develop.
  • Abscess Formation: This can occur due to a foreign body reaction to the knot of the suturing material.
  • Dimple Disappearance: If the knot fails, the dimple may disappear, but it can be corrected surgically.
  • Facial Nerve Weakness/Paralysis: Though very rare, there is a possibility of facial nerve weakness or paralysis.
