Dimple Creation Surgery

Success in Dimple Surgery

Dimples, the indentations that appear on the cheek with certain facial expressions, are universally accepted as a symbol of beauty. While some people are naturally born with dimples, it’s also possible to acquire them later in life. If you’re planning to have dimple surgery, you can consult with the experts of our partner clinic, who are internationally certified, and experienced surgeons to plan your surgery.

What is Dimple Surgery and How is it Done?

Some individuals are naturally born with dimples. Cheek dimples are the result of short muscles. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, they also provide a sympathetic appearance. Especially dimples present from birth may lose their prominence over time due to weight fluctuations or aging.

First, during the examination, the location of the dimples is determined. After this decision is made, other details about the operation are determined. Dimple surgery can be performed to make dimples more visible and to provide a more beautiful face and cheek appearance.

In dimple aesthetics, dimple types are created in both areas (buttocks and cheeks) with techniques suitable for the individual. Dimples on the cheeks are created by reducing the subcutaneous tissue or fixing the subcutaneous tissue to the muscles. Additional stitches are used to close the incisions. The procedure takes about twenty minutes.

How is Permanent Dimple Made?

Since it is a feature that is present from birth, how dimple surgery is performed is a subject of curiosity.

Dimple surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia. In some special cases, it can also be performed under general anaesthesia.

The dimples at the junction of the buttocks and waist, also called Venus dimples, are always present and are not affected by muscle movements. Most of the dimples on the cheeks are indentations that occur with facial expressions, especially smiling. Therefore, it is possible to create dimples with two different methods. These methods are reducing the subcutaneous tissue or fixing the subcutaneous tissue to the muscles for Venus dimples, while fixing the skin to the facial muscles for cheek dimples. Another feature of dimple surgery is that it can be reversed if it is not liked or abandoned.

No pain or discomfort is felt during the procedure. Self-dissolving sutures are used in dimple aesthetics, so there is no need to remove stitches after the surgery. You can be discharged on the same day after the surgery, but you should rest at home for a while.

Recovery Process After Dimple Aesthetics

Nutrition is important before the surgery. On the day of the surgery, it is recommended to consume soft foods. After the surgery, it is normal to experience swelling and mild bruising for about a week.

Feeling pain in the first few days after the surgery is expected. As swelling and bruising decrease over time, dimples begin to appear with smiles. In some cases, dimples may be visible constantly after the surgery, but this condition will pass after a while and return to normal; they will only be visible with smiling.

What Are the Risks of Dimple Aesthetics?

Like any surgery, there are risks associated with dimple aesthetics. The risks that may be encountered in dimple aesthetics are mostly bleeding and infection. However, if a specialized and experienced surgeon is chosen for the operation and the postoperative instructions of the surgeon are followed, these risks can be minimized. The use of antibiotics is necessary to prevent infection. This helps reduce the risk of infection.

Another risk is the formation of a deeper dimple than desired. Excessive indentation in the area where the application is performed can occur. This can result in an unnatural appearance. This situation can be easily corrected with a second intervention.

Before the surgery, you should discuss all the details with your surgeon and get detailed information about the risks. This way, you will be informed in case of any issues or if any intervention is needed.

How Permanent is Dimple Aesthetics?

If a reversal is not desired, dimple aesthetic application is generally permanent. In addition, in some cases, such as individuals with excessive cheek fullness, openings may occur.

At What Age is Dimple Aesthetics Performed?

Dimples provide both an attractive and sympathetic appearance. Therefore, dimple aesthetics may be desired at any age. Although there is no age limit for this operation, it is important to apply it to individuals who are over 18 years old.

Why Do Dimples Occur?

Dimples, wherever they occur in the body, are the result of deformations in muscle and connective tissue. The cause of this deformation is usually genetic. This condition, which occurs in the womb, can be defined as irregular growth of a facial muscle.

How is Dimple Creation in the Hip Area (Venus & Waist Dimples) Done?

Dimples at the junction of the buttocks and waist are called Venus dimples. These dimples are always present and are not affected by muscle movements. To create dimples in the hip area, the subcutaneous fat tissues are reduced, creating a cavity appearance. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 20 minutes. Providing a symmetrical appearance on both sides; dimples are created in the predetermined area.

If there is a pregnancy or breastfeeding situation, this operation should be postponed. It is recommended to revaluate after childbirth and breastfeeding.

Is it Possible to Revert Dimple Aesthetics to Its Previous State?

Aesthetic surgeries are generally permanent by nature. However, in dimple aesthetics, this situation is different from other aesthetic surgeries. It may be possible to return to the previous state in dimple aesthetics performed through the mouth or in the waist and hip area.

Although patients are usually determined about the operation, sometimes they may face situations such as not getting used to the new appearance with dimples or not liking themselves in this way. In such cases, dimple aesthetics offer the possibility of reversal.
