Dimpleplasty so far

I’m about four weeks post-op. It took about 2.5 weeks for the pain and swelling to completely go away and I could go back to eating normally, which is a little long compared to some of the other reviews I’ve read here. Once the pain went away, the indents that were visible while I wasn’t smiling started getting smaller and smaller. The left dimple healed first, and the right dimple has a small indent still (see pictures). Also, the left dimple is a lot deeper and longer than the right side. Overall, I’m really happy and hoping I can make it past the four months without them disappearing. I’ll update in another couple weeks!

My Dimple Procedure Experience

Hello everybody,
I got my procedure done 4 days ago by Dr. Kim in Atlanta. I flew from out-of-state to get this done by him because he had the biggest social media presence (including before and after photos) that I could find from doctors who do dimpleplasty.

The experience getting the surgery was pleasant. I have an aversion to needles, but Dr. Kim and his staff made me feel very comfortable and I liked that they explained every step of the process before they did it. I felt very informed on what they were doing.

I'm 4 days post-op and I have the typical "bullet-holes" in my cheeks which is normal following the procedure. I'm fortunate to have gotten them done during this face mask/quarantining era, so I can heal in peace.

My face is still pretty swollen and I can't flex the muscles in my cheek (smiling, yawning, even putting on lip gloss) because of the pain. Hoping that the pain subsides after this week and also hoping that my dimples will last. The more I read on the procedure - the more I read about how common it is for people to get them redone. But I'm staying optimistic because out of the thousands upon thousands of procedures that I'm sure Dr. Kim has done over the years - the 50 or so comments I've seen in complaint of them fading over time equals that 10% warning that he has in his policy forms.

I plan on updating and posting pictures when my face is not as swollen.
