What is dimple surgery?

Dimple surgery, also known as dimple creation or dimpleplasty, is an aesthetic procedure aimed at creating small, natural indentations in the cheeks that simulate facial dimples.

Dimples are considered an attractive and youthful aesthetic feature, associated with a natural and expressive facial appearance. This procedure allows for the creation of dimples in strategic positions that suit the patient's facial characteristics.

Dimple surgery is a minimally invasive procedure usually performed under local anesthesia and does not require visible external incisions.

The main goal of the treatment is to achieve discreet and natural dimples that integrate harmoniously with facial expression.

Who is a candidate for dimple creation?

Dimple surgery is indicated for people who wish to improve facial aesthetics by creating permanent dimples on their cheeks.

This procedure may be suitable for:

• People who want to create dimples on one or both cheeks
• Patients who want to improve facial expression
• People seeking more defined facial features
• Patients in good general health
• People who want a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure

Before the procedure, an individualized medical evaluation is performed to determine the ideal dimple position and ensure a natural result.

How is the procedure performed?

Dimple surgery is performed under local anesthesia and is usually completed in a single session.

The procedure is brief and requires precision in planning the facial design.

Evaluation and design of dimple position

The procedure begins with a detailed facial analysis.

During this phase, the ideal location of the dimples is determined, taking into account the shape of the face and facial symmetry.

The position is usually defined in the area where a natural indentation occurs when smiling.

This step is crucial for achieving a natural result.

Dimple creation

The surgeon makes a small incision inside the cheek, avoiding visible external scars.

Subsequently, a small connection is created between the skin and the facial muscle, which generates the characteristic dimple indentation.

This procedure allows for a natural effect when smiling.

The total duration of the procedure usually varies between 30 and 60 minutes.

Procedure completion

Once the dimple is created, an internal suture is placed to help maintain the desired shape.

External sutures are usually not necessary.

The patient can return to their usual activities shortly after.

Recovery after dimple surgery

The recovery process after dimple surgery is usually fast.

During the first few days, slight swelling may appear in the treated area.

The usual process includes:

• Slight swelling during the first few days
• Sensation of slight tightness in the cheek
• Progressive adaptation of the dimple
• Gradual reduction of swelling
• Natural integration of the dimple with facial movement

Initially, the dimple may be visible even without smiling. Over time, it becomes more natural and primarily visible when smiling.
