Everything About Dimple Surgery

Small indentations on the cheeks that only become visible when you smile – for many people, dimples are part of the common ideal of beauty. Long present in popular culture, they are now gaining popularity in the whole world as well. Dimple surgery can surgically create dimples as part of a small operation and thus help to achieve a radiant, charming smile.

Request Before/After

Natural dimples are visible in the skin immediately after birth, but they disappear over time in most people. It is estimated that only 20% of people in adulthood can enjoy dimples. Genetics are behind the formation of these fine indentations, basically, it is a slight deformation of the facial muscles.

When you smile, the facial muscles like eyelid muscles are activated and at the same time, the skin and connective tissue are pulled in, causing the dimple in the facial muscle to deepen and become visible. This process can surgically be mimicked with dimpleplasty so that the dimple is formed even without the contribution of nature.

The Purpose of Dimple Surgery

Dimple surgery, also known technically as dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at creating small dimples in the cheeks. The indentations in the cheeks that are visible when smiling are considered a beauty charm in many places and make the face look friendly and happy. If they are not naturally present, dimple surgery can construct them as part of a small dimple creation surgery in Turkey. Tissue is removed through incisions made in the oral cavity, leaving a gap in the muscle tissue which, when fully healed, becomes a dimple.

Dimple plastic surgery can be done on one or both sides. Other types of dimples can also be constructed on the chin or on the back, which is often desired especially by women.

Small dimples in the cheeks are part of the desired beauty for many people. Especially for women, dimple above buttocks is considered attractive and charismatic. Like brow lift they make the face appear particularly enchanting when talking or smiling and thus have a great effect on the other person. Back dimple surgery can quickly and easily help people who don’t naturally have dimples.The dimples cosmetic surgery in Istanbul is comparatively uncomplicated, does not require a long downtime and promises dimples that fully meet the patient’s expectations.

Risks and Benefits of Dimple Surgery

Dimple surgery is also very low-risk and leaves no visible scars because the necessary incisions are made in the oral cavity or under the skin. Although there is scarring of tissue after the operation, this is desirable and leads to the typical formation of pits. The dimples appear particularly natural and give no indication that they were created by a surgical dimple procedure in İstanbul.

Some positive effects of dimpleplasty:

• You have natural-looking dimples where you want them,
• You have a charming happy smile or impressive back,
• Cheek dimple surgery, back dimple surgery, and chin dimple creation are uncomplicated, quick interventions with few risks,
• You have no visible scars that could reveal a dimpleplasty before and after.

Before the Dimpleplasty

Dimple surgery in Turkey is a quick, uncomplicated plastic surgery procedure. It can be performed on an outpatient basis and only requires a local anesthetic. The surgery takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Before the operation, the surgeon marks the areas on the patient’s body where the dimples will later be located. This is done in consultation with the patient in order to implement their wishes and ideas after a comprehensive consultation. Then the operation can begin. The surgeon makes an incision on the inside of each cheek or under the skin and removes a small piece of muscle tissue. The skin tissue can be pulled back over the created gap, resulting in the typical dent on the skin. The doctor stitches the tissue and the procedure is complete.

After the Dimpleplasty

After the dimple operation, the patient can immediately return to work. However, the final result of the treatment is not visible until a few weeks later. Special mouthwashes should be used regularly and alcohol and cigarettes should be avoided until the wound has healed completely.

Dimple creation may not always produce visible results. Pulling the skin back inwards cannot have a sufficient effect, especially in the case of particularly plump places. On the other hand, in the case of very narrow faces with thin cheeks, it is possible that a lack of fatty tissue prevents the formation of a dimple. If you have strong weight fluctuations or if you are planning to lose weight, you should first achieve a constant weight before undergoing dimple surgery.

What About Recovery Process of Dimple Surgery

Recovery from dimple creation is relatively easy. You don’t have to stay in the hospital. In fact, you can usually go home right after the operation. You may feel a slight swelling shortly after the procedure. You can use cold packs to reduce swelling, but they usually go away on their own within a few days.

Most people can return to work, school, and other regular activities two days after dimple surgery in İstanbul. Your surgeon will likely want to see you a few weeks after the procedure to evaluate the results.

Potential Complications

The complications of dimpleplasty are relatively uncommon, but the potential risks can be serious when they do occur. Some of the possible complications are:

• Bleeding in the surgical area,
• Damage to the nerves,
• Redness and swelling,
• Infection,
• Scarring.

If you notice excessive bleeding or leakage in the area, see your doctor right away. You could have an infection. The sooner the infection is treated, the less likely it is that it will spread into the bloodstream and cause further complications.

Scars are a rare but certainly undesirable side effect of dimpleplasty. There’s also a chance you won’t like the results once they’re done. However, it is difficult to reverse the effects of this type of surgery.

Is there any Risk?

As with other types of plastic surgery, dimple creation can carry both short-term and long-term risks. However, risks are rare. Most people who have had surgery have had a positive experience.

Before opting for this type of surgery, you must accept that the result is permanent, whether you like the results or not. This seemingly simple operation still requires a lot of thought before going for it.

What Are the Surgical Steps of Dimple Surgery?

First, your doctor will apply a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, to the area of your skin. This will ensure that you do not feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery. It takes about 10 minutes for the anesthetic to work.

Your doctor then uses a small biopsy instrument to make a hole in your skin to create the holes manually. They remove a small amount of muscle and fat, creating dents. The area is about 2 to 3 millimeters long.

Once your doctor has made room for the future hole, they place a suture from one side of the muscle to the other. The thread is then tied to permanently hold the dimples in place.

How Do I Prepare For Dimpleplasty?

There are some precautions you should take before and on the day of the surgery:

• Avoid drinking alcohol and stimulants for a week before the surgery.
• After consulting your doctor, stop using blood-thinning medications such as aspirin one week before the surgery.
• RStop consuming blood-thinning drinks like green tea.
• Appropriate medical examinations are carried out before the operation to ensure that there are no health problems that oppose the operation.

What to Expect on the Day of Surgery?

Before the procedure, your surgeon marks the places that will be treated. They will pay meticulous attention to ensure that your dimples are symmetrical and in harmony with your face shape. They also determine how deep dimples will be. You will then be given a local anesthetic so that the procedure is painless for you. A “gap” is created in the muscles from the inside of the cheek. A special seam then ensures that this notch is also visible from the outside in the form of dimples. The treatment lasts 30 minutes on average and you can go home afterward. In the coming days, you should pay attention to your dental and oral hygiene, use mouthwash and avoid alcohol and cigarettes.
