How to Create Cheek Dimples
- 1). Book a free consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss the operation, called dimpleplasty. A reputable cosmetic surgeon will be happy to discuss any concerns and questions prior to surgery without making a charge.
- 2). Book time off work, or clear your schedule, for at least the one day on which your surgery is booked. The operation takes about an hour for both dimples and can be done with either a local anaesthetic or intravenous sedation. All the work is carried out inside the mouth on the other side of the cheek where you want the dimple. Bruising is rare, but there is likely to be some swelling. Although, theoretically it would be possible to go straight back to work or college after the procedure, it is sensible to at least take a day off for the operation to avoid unnecessary stress.
- 3). Stick to a liquid diet for the first day or so if you can. It is not necessarily required, but with the slight swelling and soreness you are likely to experience, you will probably not feel like eating much anyway.
- 4). Take any antibiotics prescribed to you by your plastic surgeon and rinse your mouth regularly with an antiseptic oral solution until you have fully healed.
