I am planning to get braces in March 2023 and to compliment my new brace-face I will also be getting Dimpleplasty however- I'm not sure in which order to do them in! I know that braces can slightly change the structure of the face and of course I dont want lopsided dimples, seeing that they are usually permanent.

Permanent sutures have high risk of infection and complications. Dimples may disappear for several reasons, one of them is weight change and change in the thickness of your cheeks, and the other is individual reaction to making a scar.
