I had dimpleplasty over 2 months ago now. I was told the permanence of the dimples would be gone within the month and it hasn't happened. The doctor keeps telling me to wait, but I don't think they will disappear further. I have permanent dimples/indentations in my face even when I am not smiling. Will fillers in the areas of indentation help with the craters? Is this a good solution? I also have permanent scarring on the outside of the dimples as well. Will laser surgery fix this?
