About Dimple Creation

Dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic operation designed to form dimples on the cheeks. It enhances facial aesthetics, giving you a delightful smile that many find attractive. The procedure is minimally invasive, and many find it appealing for its aesthetic benefits. A qualified doctor performs this procedure in a clinical setting. During the surgery, a small cut inside your cheek is made, and a stitch is placed between the skin and muscle of the cheek, forming a dimple. This process typically takes less than an hour and results in permanent dimples that enhance your natural smile. There's no need for an overnight stay, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. Also, the recovery from dimple creation surgery is typically swift. You might experience mild swelling, but this usually reduces within a few days. However, the dimple creation surgery cost varies depending on factors like the surgeon's expertise and location. Please note that it generally does not fall under insurance coverage. Consulting with experienced doctors ensures you understand the procedure fully and receive optimal results.

Types of Dimple Surgery in Delhi

We at Pristyn Care Perform 4 types of treatment as follows:

Cheek Dimple plasty :

A small incision is made inside the cheek to avoid external scars. A controlled stitch connects the dermis to the cheek muscle, creating a tether that indents when smiling. Depth and position are customized with preoperative marking and intraoperative smile checks. Swelling settles in one to two weeks, and the dimple often appears static early, then becomes more “smile-dependent” as healing relaxes the tether. Results are long lasting with natural animation.

Chin Dimple Creation:

For patients wanting a central chin indentation, a short intraoral or submental approach is used to sculpt a subtle depression over the bony symphysis. A suture or small pocket is fashioned to maintain the dimple while preserving external contour. Careful alignment with the vertical facial midline is crucial. Recovery is similar to cheek dimpleplasty, with soft diet, antiseptic rinses, and limited strenuous movement for several days. Outcome is durable and customizable.

Suture Only Dimple Creation :

In select cases, a percutaneous or intraoral suture can create a temporary-to-semi-permanent dimple without tissue excision. The technique tethers skin to muscle with a precisely tensioned knot, allowing assessment of depth during the procedure. It offers shorter downtime and reversibility but may relax faster than surgical methods. Ideal for patients testing the aesthetic before committing. Follow-ups adjust tension or convert to surgical fixation if needed.

Dimple Revision or Reversal:

If a previously created dimple is too deep, asymmetric, or persists when not smiling, revision addresses the tether. Techniques include releasing the scar band, redistributing soft tissue, and re-suspending for symmetry, or fully reversing by freeing adhesions and closing the pocket. Meticulous intraoral work minimizes external marks. Postoperative massage and monitoring help prevent re-tethering. Revision planning includes photographic analysis and bite-line mapping for accuracy.

Eligibility for Dimple Creation Surgery

Dimple creation surgery is becoming a popular cosmetic procedure to create dimples on the cheeks or chin and enhance one’s appearance. To determine if someone is a good candidate for this surgery, several criteria must be met:

  • Good overall health: Candidates should be in good health. This helps with healing after the procedure and reduces the risk of complications.
  • Non-smoker: Smoking can slow down recovery. It’s best to quit smoking before and after the surgery for better results.
  • Realistic expectations: While dimples can beautify your face, they won’t drastically change your facial structure. Knowing this is crucial before opting for the surgery.
  • Desire for dimples: You should genuinely want dimples for aesthetic reasons or personal preference. This ensures that you’re deciding for yourself.

Initial Examinations

Before undergoing dimple creation surgery, the doctor will conduct several important examinations to ensure you are a suitable candidate:

  • Facial anatomy assessment: The doctor will assess your facial structure to find the best spots for the dimples. This is important for achieving symmetrical results.
  • Medical history review: The doctor will review your medical history to rule out any conditions that might affect recovery. They will also ask about any health issues, medications you’re taking, or past surgeries.
  • Consultation: This is a chance to discuss your expectations, understand the risks, and learn about the benefits of the procedure.

How to Prepare for Dimple Creation Surgery?

Preparation is key for a smooth dimple creation surgery experience. Here’s how you can get ready:

  • Avoid blood thinners: Medicines like aspirin should be stopped before surgery as they can increase bleeding.
  • Consultation: Share your medical history and expectations with your surgeon. This helps them tailor the procedure to your needs.
  • Rest plan: Arrange for some downtime post-surgery to give your body time to heal.

Post-procedure Care After Dimple Creation Surgery

After your dimple creation surgery, there are specific steps you should follow to ensure optimal healing:

  • Avoid strenuous activities: For at least one week, avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous exercise that could strain your face.
  • Maintain oral hygiene: Keeping your mouth clean is crucial to prevent infections since incisions are made inside the mouth.
  • Use ice packs: Applying ice can help reduce swelling in the initial days after surgery.
  • Follow-up appointments: Schedule and attend follow-ups with your surgeon to monitor healing progress.
  • Medication management: Take prescribed medications as directed by your doctor to manage pain and reduce swelling effectively.
  • Monitor healing progress: Watch out for unusual signs such as excessive swelling or infection, and inform your doctor immediately if noticed.
