What is Dimple Creation Surgery?

Dimple creation surgery, medically known as dimpleplasty, is a minor cosmetic procedure that creates permanent indentations in the cheeks or chin. The surgery mimics natural dimples by creating a small depression in the skin that becomes visible when you smile or make facial expressions.

Key Benefits of Dimple Creation Surgery:

The procedure is particularly popular among young adults and professionals in Ahmedabad who want to enhance their facial attractiveness. Unlike natural dimples that result from a variation in facial muscle structure, surgical dimples are created through careful muscle manipulation and skin attachment techniques.

Different Dimple Creation Techniques

Dr. Neel Gupta employs various advanced techniques to create natural-looking dimples based on individual facial anatomy and patient preferences.

1. Traditional Intraoral Technique

The most commonly used method involving an incision inside the mouth. This technique leaves no external scars and provides excellent control over dimple depth and positioning.

2. Suture Technique

A minimally invasive approach using special sutures to create the dimple depression. This method has shorter procedure time but may require touch-ups in some cases.

3. Muscle Excision Technique

Involves removing a small portion of the buccinator muscle to create a more prominent and permanent dimple. Ideal for patients wanting deeper dimples.

4. Modified Subcision Technique

An advanced method that combines elements of traditional techniques with modern innovations for optimal results and faster healing.

Dr. Neel's Approach: Each technique is selected based on facial anatomy, desired dimple depth, and individual patient goals. During consultation, Dr. Neel explains which technique would work best for your specific case.
