Dimpleplasty

A dimpleplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that creates dimples in the skin. Although it can be done on the chin as well, it is typically done on the cheeks. Dimpleplasty is a relatively easy procedure that involves making a tiny incision in the skin and modifying the connective and muscle tissue beneath it to create a dimple. After the procedure, we are sure you’ll be grinning from ear to ear.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROCEDURE A POPULAR OPTION?

If you would like to have dimples but do not naturally have them or for those who have lost their natural dimples as a result of weight gain or ageing, dimpleplasty is a great option for you.

Since dimples are frequently regarded as an attractive physical characteristic, many people seek out dimpleplasty to improve their appearance and boost their self-esteem.

It is a convenient option for those looking for a cosmetic procedure with little recovery time because it leaves minimal scarring.

IS THE PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR ME?

Although having dimples can be a desirable physical trait, it’s important to have reasonable expectations for the treatment’s results. When deciding whether to have a dimpleplasty, there are a number of things to take into account, including:

  • Your medical background: You might not be a good candidate for dimpleplasty if you have certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders or infections.
  • The possible risks and issues. Although dimpleplasty is a generally risk-free procedure, it does have some downsides.
  • Before deciding to have the procedure, it is crucial to go over the possible risks and complications with our skilled plastic surgeons.

Your personal objectives and concerns should ultimately guide your decision to have a dimpleplasty.

Wondering how much a dimpleplasty would cost?

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Before your surgery, our team will be in constant contact with you to make sure all the boxes are checked. Some crucial elements to remember are:

  • Do not eat or drink for 6-7 hours leading to the surgery, otherwise you may not tolerate the anaesthesia well.
  • Avoid strong colognes or perfumes
  • Make sure to have enough comfortable clothes.
  • Take off all your piercings and jewellery.
  • Remove nail polish and extensions. This is necessary for the medical staff to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood.

You can also attend to minor details like removing contacts and switching to glasses, packing a bag of essentials as well as preparing a last-minute list of questions. Remember, there’s no such thing as being too prepared!

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?

During your consultation, be sure to discuss your medical history, any medications you are taking, and your goals for the procedure. Your surgeon will also examine your face and determine if dimpleplasty is a good option for you. By following these steps, you can help ensure a smooth and successful dimpleplasty procedure.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PROCEDURE?

The procedure typically lasts an hour and is carried out under local anaesthesia. It involves the surgeon making a small incision in the skin, usually on the chin or cheek, and changing the underlying muscle and connective tissue to form a dimple. Usually, a tiny hole is made in the muscle and a dissolvable suture is used to join it to the skin.

Following your successful procedure, you will be taken to our Recovery Suites where you will be watched until the anaesthesia has worn off.

HEALING AND AFTERCARE

WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE HEALING FROM THE PROCEDURE

After the procedure, the patient may experience some swelling and bruising, but these effects should resolve within a few days. Dimpleplasty is considered a relatively safe procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks, such as infections. It is important to discuss the potential risks and complications with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure.

You should anticipate some swelling and bruising in the treated area following a dimpleplasty. These side effects should disappear in a few days. Additionally, you might experience some discomfort or pain, which your surgeon can manage by prescribing a painkiller.

To guarantee the best outcome, it’s crucial to carefully adhere to your surgeon’s post-surgery instructions.

This might include:

  • Protecting the incision site by covering the treated area with a bandage or dressing
  • Elevating your head to reduce swelling
  • Avoiding demanding tasks for a while
  • Limiting the treated area’s exposure to heat or direct sunlight
  • Taking prescription drugs as recommended

A follow-up visit will probably be arranged by your surgeon to assess your recovery and address any worries you might have. It’s crucial to show up on time for all scheduled follow-up appointments to guarantee that your healing is proceeding as anticipated.
