Viewed as a symbol of beauty and good fortune for ages, dimples are a highly desirable feature that can now be recreated with a simple procedure. Dimples on the cheeks are genetic flukes caused by defect in the cheek muscles. By appearing when animating the lower part of your face, they make your smile more attractive. Without a doubt, dimples have become an envious feature associated with attractiveness. A cosmetic surgeon can craft dimples on your face by performing dimple surgery in India, also known as Dimpleplasty.
What Is Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty or dimple creation surgery is a cosmetic procedure that a Cosmetic plastic surgeon performs. Anyone who wants to improve their appearance and smile with dimples can undergo this procedure. During this procedure, a defect is created in the face muscles from inside the mouth. The defect resembles a natural dimple and gives patients a smile they would like to flaunt.
How Is Dimpleplasty Performed?
Before dimple creation in Mumbai, the surgeon will first mark the anatomical position of the dimples on your face using a mirror. You will then be asked to choose the preferred location of the dimples.
Coming to the actual procedure, the surgeon will first numb the area by injecting you with local anesthesia. A small incision will then be placed inside the mouth to release the facial muscles known as buccinators. A small portion of the muscle will be isolated from its attachments in the skin and mucosa inside the mouth.
An absorbable suture will then be placed across the cheek to bring the two surfaces, skin, and mucosa, together in between the separated muscle. The knot is tied within the mouth itself, and the suture is left in place to dissolve on its own.
After dimple surgery in India, cold packs are applied to ensure minimal post-operative swelling.
Dimpleplasty Post-operative Recovery
Once the procedure is done, you will be given a post-operative instruction sheet. Please read it carefully and follow all the instructions. For a few weeks after the surgery, there will be a slight indentation of the suture on the cheek, which will be palpable below the skin for a period of two weeks. Similarly, there will also be a few sutures felt by the tongue.
For the first two days after dimple creation Mumbai, it is recommended that you follow a cold liquid diet, as hot drinks can exaggerate swelling. From the third day onwards, you can gradually add easily chewable semisolid food to your diet.
It would be best to avoid smoking and alcohol for a month.
Are The Results Of Dimpleplasty Permanent?
When a dimple is initially formed after surgery, it is static, meaning it remains even without animation and looks unnatural as there is still swelling around the operation site, which heals within 7-10 days. After 2-3 months, once the tissue has healed, a natural dimple can be seen during animation. Normally the dimple is permanent, but sometimes the healing doesn't occur as expected due to infection or other causes, so the dimple might fade away after 2-3 years. In such a case, book an appointment with the doctor who will repeat the procedure.Benefits Of Dimpleplasty Surgery
