Cheek dimples are often regarded as a sign of charm and attractiveness, enhancing one's facial beauty and expressions. As much as some people are born with dimples, others can now safely get them through modern cosmetic procedures.They may appear on one or both cheeks and without preference between men and women. Anatomically and etiologically, they are created due to the variations in the zygomaticus major muscle-a facial muscle responsible for smiling. This variation in the muscle creates a natural tethering effect on the skin to produce the dimple when a person smiles.Now that dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, has become more advanced, natural dimples can be created with a much less invasive technique. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, takes less than an hour, and requires minimal downtime. At Aakar Aesthetics, Nashik, each procedure is accurately planned by Dr. Kiran Nerkar to suit your facial structure and provide subtle, symmetric, and natural results.
Dimples can be created surgically. It is a day care procedure done under Local Anaesthesia.
Generally, the position of the dimple is marked by the patient in front of the mirror. If the patient is undecided as to the site of the dimple, Dr Nerkar Uses certain facial landmarks to decide the location for an “ideal dimple”. Once local anaesthetic is administered, the procedure is done from within mouth (leaving no scars on cheek). You can go home after an hour.Meticulous oral hygiene with mouthwash and oral rinse is advised.
The sutures (used on inner aspect) are removed after a week. Initially, there is a static dimple which deepens with facial animation, but gradually with time there is only a hint of dimple when static and accentuates on animation.
When it comes to dimple creation surgery, Nashik has enough qualified, well-trained surgeons to choose from. Though some dermatologists offer dimpleplasty, most patients prefer to consult a facial plastic surgeon for safer and more precise results.Find a reputable specialist and set up an initial consultation to talk through the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of dimple surgery. The surgeon will then be able to tell you if you are a good candidate during this visit and help you decide exactly where to position your dimples for the most natural appearance.Dimpleplasty costs vary according to the expertise of the surgeon and the extent of the procedure. On average, it costs from ₹25,000 to ₹35,000. Moreover, since this is a cosmetic treatment, it does not fall under medical insurance coverage. Should complications develop, the total cost may rise due to aftercare or correction procedures that may be required.
A dimpleplasty is performed on an outpatient basis. This means you can get the procedure done at Dr Kiran Nerkar office without having to go to the hospital. You may also not need to be put under general anesthesia.
First, Dr Kiran Nerkar Sir will apply a topical anesthetic, such as lidocaine, to the area of skin. This helps to ensure you don’t experience any pain or discomfort during the surgery. It takes about 10 minutes for the anesthetic to take effect.
Dr Kiran Nerkar Sir then uses a small biopsy instrument to make a hole in your skin to manually create a dimple. A small amount of muscle and fat is removed to aid in this creation. The area is about 2 to 3 millimeters in length.
Once Dr Kiran Nerkar Sir creates the space for the future dimple, they then position a suture (sling) from one side of the cheek muscle to the other. The sling is then tied to set the dimple permanently in place.
Recovery after the creation of dimples is generally easy and fast in Nashik. Most patients do not require hospitalization and can easily return home immediately following the procedure. Generally, there will be mild swelling during the first days, but applying cold packs can reduce this condition. The swelling often settles on its own as healing progresses.Most individuals are able to return to work, school, and normal activities within two days. Dr. Kiran Nerkar will have a follow-up visit in a couple of weeks to check on healing and to make sure the dimples appear natural.If you notice excessive bleeding, unusual oozing, or signs of an infection at the site of treatment, then you should consult Dr. Kiran Nerkar promptly. Early treatment will help prevent complications and ensure smooth recovery.While infrequent, the complications may be in the form of minimal scarring or disappointing results from the final outcome. Reversing this procedure is mostly difficult; thus, a very experienced surgeon is required to achieve safe, attractive, and natural-looking dimples.
