So Far, So Good!

I am on day two of my dimple surgery and wanted to share my experience.

I flew in to Atlanta from out of town and went back home the same day with no issues. The building looks kind of sketchy but I was expecting that based on another review I read. The actual inside of the doctors office looks like a regular doctors office. I was greeted when I arrived, almost immediately taken back into the patient room to discuss the procedure and sign some forms. After I signed the forms and made the final payment Dr. Kim (who does not look like the picture associated with him on this review) came in to go over the procedure with me. We had a few jokes and laughed, he asked if I had any questions. From there I was taken to the "operating room" my arms were "strapped" down and I waited patiently for him to come back while the medical assistants/nurses got everything ready and sterilized my face.

Dr. Kim came in, turned on this bright light and started giving me something to numb my cheeks. This did not hurt. Maybe a little prick, but it hurts worse to bite your tongue or cheek on accident. I don't know what the needle looked like because my eyes were closed (the bright light shines directly in your face). Then he got to work. You could feel pulling/tugging that was awkward but no pain. He was done pretty quickly, 10 - 20 minutes max. I looked in the mirror and I was done.

The numbing wore off completely in about 4 hours but the pain after was bearable and relieved by the Tylenol they gave me to take home.

Today is day two and I do have some swelling still. Hurts to laugh and smile but otherwise it's fine.

I'm glad it's mask season so I don't have to worry about people staring at what looks like holes in my face. People who have seen me assumed I got my cheeks pierced. I will come back and update once the swelling and tightness goes away.

I am not sure if it's worth it yet only because I don't know what the final outcome is. But based on my experience so far, 10 out of 10, definitely recommend.
