The Dimple Creation Procedure Unveiled

The dimple creation procedure involves the following steps:

  • Anesthesia Choice : Decide between general and local anesthesia, with Dr. Amit Agarwal’s expert recommendation.
  • Incision and Muscle Adjustment : A painless incision is made within the cheek, and a small portion of cheek muscle is delicately removed. No external incision is required.
  • Suture Placement : A dissolvable suture is threaded through the cheek’s inner surface, securing it to deeper tissues. When tied, the suture creates a charming dimple in the skin.
  • Closure : The cheek’s interior is closed with absorbable stitches.
  • Result Evaluation : After the surgery, immediate dimpling may be observed. However, the dimple will become prominent only during smiling or facial movement.

Navigating Recovery after Dimple Creation

Recovery from dimpleplasty is uncomplicated:

  • Typically, you can go home right after surgery under local anesthesia.
  • Mild swelling may occur initially but usually resolves within days.
  • Return to work, college, and daily activities within two days.
  • Mild irritation or pain might persist temporarily.
  • Soft diet and antiseptic gargling are recommended.
  • Self-dissolvable sutures do not require removal.

Dr. Amit Agarwal provides personalized instructions for post-surgery care and follow-ups, including surgical site maintenance and medication management.
