Dimpleplasty

WHAT IS DIMPLE CREATION SURGERY (DIMPLEPLASTY)?

Dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to add a charming and youthful aesthetic to the face. Dimples are small indentations that form when the facial muscles pull on the skin, creating a charming and endearing smile. While natural dimples are considered a genetic trait, dimple creation surgery allows individuals to achieve this coveted feature through a simple and minimally invasive procedure.

HOW IS THE SURGERY DONE?

Dimple creation surgery is a straightforward outpatient procedure that typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour to complete. It is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort for the patient. Dr. Hirra Alavi will mark the desired location of the dimples on the patient's cheeks, taking into account factors such as facial symmetry and the patient's natural smile. Next, small incisions are made on the inside of the cheek, where the dimples will be created. Through these incisions, she carefully removes a small amount of tissue from the underlying muscle, creating a defect. By securing this defect with dissolvable sutures, the dimple is formed, mimicking the natural mechanism that creates dimples when smiling.

AM I A CANDIDATE?

  • Almost all healthy patients are candidates for dimple creation surgery.
  • Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and no significant medical conditions that could impair healing.
  • Both men and women seeking a permanent enhancement to their smile and facial appearance can typically undergo dimpleplasty, making it a versatile option for many individuals looking to enhance their facial charm.
