Dimpleplasty - My review has nothing to do with surgeon’s work. I just feel this surgery was not right for me personally
ORIGINAL POST
Terrified I Made the Wrong Decision
MC_ATLMarch 9, 2019
Just got a dimpleplasty a couple days ago. I did my research and found a doctor in Atlanta. Always wanted dimples and felt he could give them to me. So now I am in the recovery phase and it is awful. I cried the second day. Face is swollen and I literally have 2 holes in my cheeks. Sooooo embarrassing. I hate going out and it is causing depression and anxiety. If I knew I would be this ugly the first 2-4 months I would have never gotten it done. I will continue to wear bandages over my face until the swelling and holes disappear. I will post an update if/when my face looks more natural.

Face looks like it is starting to heal
MC_ATLMarch 11, 2019
Ok, now I’m starting to feel a little bit better about this whole thing. I was literally depressed the first few days but when it heals (which I keep forgetting takes TIME) I know I will love it. Holes are still prominent but swelling has gone down overall. I predict my face will be back to normal in 2 months time. Until then, I will wear the clear spots on my cheeks when I’m at work

I was exactly the same hated the first few days it does take a couple weeks to look normal literally now I love mine and I’m 5 weeks in! They literally looked horrendous when first done I thought what the hell have I done xx amazing now hope you heal quick and fall in love soon x

Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. I was literally like omfg what did I do to my face and cried for days. I pray that it heals quick and I like the results <3

I got mine done about 6 months ago and hated the bullet holes in my face look also but I was ok with it because I knew it would get better lol. But after that 2-4 months mine disappeared which was very disappointing I have two small marks on my cheeks that looks like scars but nothing like a simple just an old scar kind of look. Now I have to fly back to Atlanta and get the whole thing redone and go through the whole holes in your face phase all over again.

I don’t think I would ever put myself through that again. I’m praying nine don’t go way but if they do no way in HELL im going through that again. Is he at least doing it again for free? Did you go to Dr. Kun Kim?
March 15, 2019
Omg I would cry if mine went so sorry you have to deal with it again I said to myself If mine go I’d be devastated but would never get them redone but it’s amazing how quickly you forget about the trauma once you start seeing how gorgeous they look so no doubt if I had to I would but I prey they won’t xx I don’t know how people go back to work and [RS bleep] straight after I thought I’d never leave the house!! Honestly and truly they get better and hopefully they will stay for you
Xx and for the person having a revision id hope it would be less painful this time?
And much more likely to be there forever [RS bleep] love to all

I love how positive and encouraging you are Joseline T. You definitely give me hope that it will look awesome when it heals :-)
March 15, 2019
Yes I did go to Dr.Kun Kim and no it’s not for free in the contact we sign it states that there is a possibility they won’t stay and will go away etc etc. I have to fly back [RS bleep] the flight alone is 400 bucks but the second time around they do it for half the price. Honestly I wouldn’t be going back if I didn’t look like I have two scars on my cheeks. If it went away completely like nothing was ever there I would be ok but it looks like two marks or scars on my cheek instead of dimples so I am going back to try again.

I loved mine after two months when it didn’t look as bad lol but then they disappeared and instead of dimples it just looks like two dots I drew on my cheeks lol
March 16, 2019
Babe honestly hide and heal and trust me you’ll love them especially with those lips
March 17, 2019
You’re so right :-) thanks Josaline T for helping me stay positive throughout this crazy healing process. <3

I went to the same doctor. Still have two holes in my cheeks after several months and left a scar...:(
April 3, 2019
Do u have pics? I called the office and he said it’s reversible. So after 3 months if I still have holes I’m going back to have reversed
April 4, 2019
I went back after two months to reverse it, however he wasn’t able to get the suture out... Instead he left a deeper scar. Honestly, I regret this surgery with him. I’m waiting a few more months and I’ll write a review and post all the pictures
April 4, 2019
I regret it too and I’m literally depressed from the embarrassment of having two holes in my cheeks. I pray to god it heals. It’s been almost a month and the holes are still pretty deep.

It honestly seems like more than 10% of the people loose the Dimples more like 80%
March 19, 2019
Mine went away as well... from the same doctor.. scars on my cheeks as well. Is he doing them over for you?
March 19, 2019
how long did they last? and was the scarring bad? My fear is being left with scars on my cheeks. I would never put myself through this again. Free revision or not. Lol

I don’t think you can “redo” dimples since there is only so much buccal fat one has. Your dimples may seem to disappear as your face heals but should still be prominent when you smile. Hope this info helps.

Healing is tough
MC_ATLMarch 18, 2019
Ok so I’ve still been uber depressed about the holes in my cheeks but I’m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I’m super self conscious about imperfections on my face so I’m still wearing the circle bandaids on my face at work. If I could have went back in time I would not have done this surgery. This isn’t saying anything negative about the surgeon but it’s moreso my selfconciousness and insecuries with having punctures in my cheek. It’s all part of the healing process but I don’t have a lot of patience smh. It’s been about 12 days post op
