Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you're experiencing after your dimpleplasty. It’s not uncommon to have some degree of indentation following this procedure, but persistent indentations eight months post-surgery can understandably be concerning.

There are a few options you might consider:

Consult with Your Surgeon: The first step should be to revisit your surgeon. They can assess the healing process and determine if the indentations are within the expected range of outcomes or if additional intervention is necessary.

Non-Surgical Treatments: Depending on the severity of the indentations, non-surgical options such as fillers can help to smooth out the area. These are typically temporary solutions but can provide an improvement in appearance.

Surgical Revision: In some cases, a minor surgical revision may be needed to correct the indentations. This should be discussed thoroughly with your surgeon to understand the benefits and risks involved.

Patience with Healing: Sometimes, the appearance can continue to improve over time as the tissue heals and settles. Your surgeon can give you a better idea of what to expect in terms of timeline.

Remember, each patient's healing journey is unique, and it's important to have a detailed discussion with your healthcare provider to choose the best course of action for your specific case.

Best wishes for a smooth resolution to your concerns.
