Does Dimple Creation last? (photos)

Question

Hi Doctors, I've considered getting Dimple Surgery on both my cheeks for a long time now. I find them to be quite appealing and attractive on just about anyone . Due to research I have noticed a number of people who gone through the procedure saying that the dimple went away and thus not being worth the time or money. I would like to do the surgery ONLY if the dimples last. I would like to know the cause of them disappearing on some people?

Hello and thanks for your question-

Dimpleplasty should last. I guarantee my surgeries and most plastic surgeons do as well. So if one pulls through and the dimple is lost- I will revise it at no additional charge. This takes the risk of it not lasting out of the equation for you!

Find a surgeon with a similar guarantee who you trust!

God bless and enjoy the results!

Unfortunately, as with all surgeries results are not 100% guaranteed. When we perform dimple plasty, muscle fibers are stitched to the under surface of the skin. It can take six or so weeks before this is strong. It is possible following surgery for the stitches to release. Muscle is not the strongest material to put a stitch in and sometimes it can pull through. There are advantages and disadvantages with using absorbing stitches which your surgeon will discuss with you.

Hi
Thank you for your question. Creation of the dimple is on the surgeons technique however what make a dimple remain following the suture which is used to create the dimple dissolves is based on the ability of your body to create scar tissue in the area. There is no guarentee with the depth and permanancy of the dimple. I would suggest you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who is comfortable with dimple creation. I wish you the best of luck
