COSMETIC SURGERY
DIMPLE CREATION SURGERY
To create a dimple, a small painless incision is made in the inside of your cheek under local anesthesia. There is no incision or scar on the outside skin. A small absorbable suture is passed through the inside of the cheek and catches the undersurface of the skin where the dimple is desired. When this suture is tied it causes a dimpling in the overlying skin. At first there is a dimple present even without smiling, but after several days, or sometimes a few weeks, the dimple is only present while smiling or moving the face. The scarring between the inner skin and muscle will cause a permanent dimple even after the suture is absorbed. Dimple creation surgery can be done on any type or size cheek.
