Are Dimples Created Through Cosmetic Procedures Permanent?

With dimples only naturally occurring in 20% of the human population, more people choose the cosmetic route of dimple creation surgery or dimpleplasty. This simple, 30-minute procedure mimics the muscular defect that causes dimples. 

Dimples happen due to the skin naturally wedging itself into the connective tissue. Dimpleplasty uses advanced zero-scarring suturing techniques to connect the skin to the underlying muscle, creating a dimple. Considering how dimples signify beauty, many people choose this procedure to feel more confident about their appearance. 

1. Are the results of dimple creation surgery permanent?
2. Can dimples after dimple creation surgery be removed?

Yes, the results from this cosmetic surgery are permanent and stay with you for your entire life. How does dimpleplasty achieve such results?

Well, it is a surgical procedure, so it is performed keeping long-term results in mind. Although it is short (only 30 minutes), it is highly effective and very versatile.

Your dimpleplasty begins with an incision inside your mouth, on the inside of your cheek. Through this, your surgeon uses a suture to connect the skin and muscle, tightening it for depth. If you want more enhanced dimples, they may also remove a chunk of soft tissue.

Expert surgeons use absorbable sutures, thus negating the need for follow-up appointments. After your procedure, your dimple will be visible even if you are not smiling. However, this phenomenon goes away with time, and your dimples look much more natural over the next few months of recovery.

If you have heard of dimpleplasty before, you may have also heard of the other side of the coin – dimple removal. While many patients want dimples created, some people also want their dimples removed for various reasons. Dimpleplasty can do both. 

But what about the results you get from dimple creation? If you get your dimples cosmetically created, are they reversible?

Well, we have good and bad news for you. The good news is that the procedure is reversible in some instances. It is scarce for a patient to return and ask for reversal or removal after their dimple creation procedure. However, if they do ask for it, it is technically possible. 

Now for the bad news – you should not do it. 

When you undergo dimple creation, your surgeon gives you dimples, assuming you want them permanently. If you want these dimples removed, this is additional trauma to your face. Depending on your surgeon, you may also have visible scarring and open yourself up to other complications. 

Thus, only choose this procedure if you are sure this is what you want. Getting it reversed is not recommended and can cause unnecessary damage to your face. You can avoid getting into this situation with an expert surgeon who understands facial aesthetics and symmetry.
