Dimple creation surgery is a relatively new procedure but relatively straight forward and easy to accomplish.

Dimples are considered attractive by many and can now be created in a short visit to the plastic surgeon. The procedure is safe and frequently produces excellent results. The dimple is created in a 20 minute operation performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis. Alternatively the patient can also be put under general anesthesia on request. A small instrument is placed inside the mouth that makes an incision in the inner cheek (buccal mucosa).
A small circular area is removed leaving the outer skin intact and creating the dimple. This shallow area is closed using sutures. The sutures dissolve within a week or two and the incision heals leaving the dimple intact.

After the dimple surgery the cheek is generally swollen for about a week or two. Frequent rinsing of the mouth is required to ensure a healthy healing process. Eating liquid foods may be more comfortable during the healing process. Work and normal activities can be resumed in 2 to 3 days following the procedure.

Contact the plastic surgeon for a free consultation and more information about the dimple creation surgery.
