I'm sorry to hear about your experience and the dissatisfaction with your dimple placement. As a dermatologist, I understand how changes to facial features can impact your self-esteem and confidence.

The good news is that dimpleplasty revisions are possible. A skilled surgeon can often correct asymmetries and improve the overall appearance of your dimples. Here are some points to consider:

Consultation with a Specialist: Seek a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with experience in facial surgeries. They can assess your current dimple placement and discuss potential revision options.

Surgical Expertise: Ensure that the surgeon you choose has a strong track record of performing successful dimpleplasty revisions. Look at before-and-after photos of their previous patients.

Customized Approach: Each face is unique, and your surgeon should take precise measurements and consider your facial anatomy to create a balanced and natural look.

Recovery and Expectations: Understand the recovery process and set realistic expectations with your surgeon. Revision surgeries may involve different techniques and healing times compared to the initial procedure.

It's important to address your concerns with a qualified professional who can guide you through the revision process and help restore your confidence in your smile.
