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.
