WORTH IT$1,200
Update: after dimpleplasty revision and bucal pad removal, my dimples has stayed (a bit deeper on right just slightly more). This facial feature enhanced my face in personal opinion and gave me more confidence that somebody with wide face can still look cute (again, personal opinion of results). Also, I do get more attention in a good way, this is noticeable to family members as well.
On the downside, face is healing very very slow as it turned out and I still feel some ever slightest constriction of sorts.
If had a second chance, 90% would do it.

Still healing: present lumpiness and occasional swelling in face, still visible (when not smiling) dimples on both sides.
People, it takes good 60-90 days to have the outside marks/holes to smooth out and get totally healed. I am taking easy and brushing very careful not to touch incisions inside. Also, about once a week my face get heavy and I deal with it by having hot wet towel over it for 20 min.
Face is still somewhat constricted (feels like it) and I feel "lumps" not by touch but rather feeling of lumpiness especially on my right side (left on photos).
No regrets, just need to be patient as it is delicate and long-healing procedure.
Sorry about photo quality, will try taking it in better light next update.

Slowly healing, feeling constricted on both sides as swelling going down and also no issues with inside or outside stiches. My speech is still a bit impaired as I am careful not to talk much or to open month as normal.
Will have a follow up with doctor next week.

Thank you!!!
People do look up to my face now more (in contact to boobs:))))))

I like dimples but process is long and a bit annoying. Still to this day right side is feels heavy and it irritates me sometimes. Left is now almost smoothed out and soften up.
