After the surgery, patients can resume normal activities and eat and drink normally. Soft food is advised for a few days. Some inflammation in the cheeks may occur, but this is minimal and subsides within a few weeks. Once the swelling goes down, the dimples will be visible, giving the patient a more appealing facial appearance. Pain medications and antibiotics are prescribed for a few weeks.
Dimples appear when a person smiles due to small depressions in the skin. These occur when the connective tissues below the cheek pull the skin down as the skin and muscles stretch. Dimples can also occur due to a defect in the buccinator muscles.
During the consultation, the surgeon decides on the location of the dimples and gives the patient an idea of how their smile would appear with dimples. The surgeon also reviews the patient's medical history and examines the cheek's tissue and skin. Patients are advised to stop consuming blood-thinning and herbal medications before and after surgery.
Dimple creation, or dimpleplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure to create cheek dimples. Many people prefer dimples as they believe dimples brighten their smiles and add character to their faces. Some individuals are born with a natural variation in their facial muscles, resulting in dimples. For those without natural dimples, a simple procedure can create them without leaving external scars.
Dimples are seen as a sign of attractiveness and good fortune in Asian and Indo-ethnic cultures, while in Western cultures, they are considered cute and unique facial attributes. Natural dimples occur when the buccinator muscle has a defect, causing the overlying skin to indent when smiling.
Surgical dimple creation, or dimpleplasty, is performed in the office using local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. The procedure involves forming an adhesion between the skin and cheek muscle. Once healed, scar tissue permanently connects the skin and underlying muscle, creating a natural-looking indentation when the muscle moves.
