Dimple Creation (Dimpleplasty)

During the dimple creation procedure small cuts are made on the inside of each cheek. Through these incisions, the under surface of the cheek skin is sutured to the underlying muscle in the cheek. Dissolvable sutures are used during this procedure; therefore, no removal is required. The incisions will be measured to fall under the outer eye at mouth level in order to fall perfectly in line with your natural facial structure.

For around a week after dimple creation surgery, it is advised that patients consume soft foods to allow the area to heal properly. There is likely to be some discomfort for around a week post-surgery as wounds begin to heal so it is advised to be cautious of this. Patients can return to everyday activities such as driving and light activity after around 3-4 days. However, heavy physical work and activity should be avoided for around 4 weeks to allow optimal healing.

During dimple creation surgery, you will receive a local anaesthetic, so no pain or discomfort will be felt. After surgery, you may experience some pain and discomfort in the area as the site begins to heal, but this should not extend for longer than 2 weeks. Bruising may still be evident after this time, and the area may be slightly tender. Those symptoms, however, should alleviate and go away in around three weeks.

Dimple creation surgery provides permanent results due to the surgical alteration of the face and face shape. However, if significant weight is gained in the face or if the face shape significantly changes in the future, it may have the results altered.

The price for a dimpleplasty starts from approximately £1,900 which includes both consultant and facility fees. The total cost will be confirmed following the initial consultation.
