Dimples: Beyond Superficial Beauty – A Medical Understanding

Before delving into the details of dimple surgery, it is important to understand the medical aspect related to it. Dimples, or indentations, are small folds that appear on the cheeks when smiling, and may sometimes appear in other areas of the face.

Causes and Risk Factors for Natural Dimples:

Natural dimples are primarily attributed to genetic factors. Scientists believe the cause is a split or variation in the cheek muscle (zygomaticus major muscle). Sometimes, this muscle is slightly shorter, causing it to adhere to the skin in a specific area. When smiling, this muscle pulls the skin inward, forming the dimple.

There are no clear risk factors associated with the appearance of natural dimples, as they are a physiological trait related to the structure of muscles and skin.

Symptoms and Diagnosis:

Dimples are a visual characteristic and not considered a medical symptom that requires diagnosis in the traditional sense. They are simply identified by their appearance. In the context of dimple surgery, a medical diagnosis is made when assessing a candidate’s suitability for the procedure, understanding the precise anatomy of their facial muscles, and determining the best location, size, and shape for the desired dimples.

Recent Research Updates:

Research is constantly evolving in the field of cosmetic surgery. Regarding dimples, recent research focuses on improving techniques for more accurately pinpointing the dimple’s location to ensure a natural appearance, understanding the interaction of different tissues when creating the fold, and studying ways to ensure the dimple’s longevity as much as possible. There is a growing interest in understanding the dynamics of subcutaneous muscles and how they affect the final appearance of the dimple.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Dimple Surgery?

Dimple surgery is a simple cosmetic procedure suitable for a large number of people who wish to add a distinctive aesthetic touch to their smile. However, there are some criteria that determine a candidate’s suitability for the procedure:

Suitable Candidates:

  • Individuals who want to have dimples: This is the primary criterion. People who do not have natural dimples and wish to create them.
  • Individuals with indistinct or asymmetrical dimples: The procedure can improve the appearance of existing dimples, making them more defined or symmetrical.
  • People in good general health: The candidate should be in good overall health, without chronic diseases that could hinder the healing process or increase surgical risks.
  • Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking: Smoking negatively affects the healing process, so it is advisable to quit before and after the procedure.
  • Those with realistic expectations: It is important for the candidate to have a clear understanding of what the procedure can achieve and to have realistic expectations about the results.

Who May Not Be Suitable for the Procedure:

  • Individuals with bleeding disorders: These conditions may increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery.
  • People with active skin conditions in the cheek area: Such as acute infections or severe acne, which may require postponing the procedure.
  • Individuals with unrealistic expectations: The procedure aims to create dimples, but it does not radically change the overall shape of the face.
  • Patients with a history of excessive scarring (keloids): They may have a predisposition to forming visible scars.

At “Health & Beauty Turkey,” our medical team evaluates each candidate individually through a detailed consultation and a thorough medical examination to ensure the procedure is appropriate and safe for them.

Preparing for Dimple Surgery: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Safe Medical Journey

Good planning is the key to the success of any medical procedure. When considering dimple surgery in Turkey, preparation begins well before your travel to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.

Before Traveling:

  • Initial Medical Consultation: The journey begins by contacting “Health & Beauty Turkey.” You can send photos of your face and discuss your expectations with our team online. The doctors will conduct a preliminary assessment of your case.
  • Research and Information Gathering: Learn about the procedure, the techniques used, and the benefits of having the surgery in Turkey.
  • Travel and Accommodation Arrangements: Our team will assist you in organizing flight bookings, hotels, and transportation to and from the airport.

Medical Examinations and Health Advice:

  • Basic Check-ups: Upon your arrival in Turkey, comprehensive medical examinations will be conducted to ensure you are medically fit for dimple surgery. These may include blood tests to check for clotting issues or anemia, and a blood pressure check.
  • Detailed Medical History: The doctor will ask you about any previous illnesses, drug allergies, and current medications you are taking.
  • Avoid Certain Medications: You may be asked to stop taking certain medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, about two weeks before the surgery.
  • Quit Smoking: If you are a smoker, it is strongly recommended to quit smoking several weeks before the surgery and to continue to abstain during the recovery period, as nicotine negatively affects blood flow and the healing process.
  • Healthy Nutrition: Following a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals enhances the body’s ability to heal.

Lifestyle Adjustments:

  • Mental Preparation: Discuss your concerns and expectations with your doctor. Understanding the procedure and the expected outcomes will help reduce anxiety.
  • Avoid Alcohol: It is advisable to avoid alcohol for a sufficient period before the surgery.

Dimple Surgery: Procedure Steps and Recovery

Dimple surgery is a relatively quick cosmetic procedure that involves specific steps to ensure the best results.

Before the Surgery: Examination, Consultation, and Anesthesia

  • Final Consultation with the Surgeon: Immediately before the procedure, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination of the cheek area, determine the exact locations where the dimples will be created, and draw the necessary markings. The technique to be used will be discussed, and any final questions or concerns you have will be addressed.
  • Anesthesia Options: Dimple surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, where an anesthetic is injected into the cheek area to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. In some cases, light sedation may be preferred, depending on the patient’s preference and the doctor’s assessment.

During the Surgery: Modern Techniques

Dimple surgery relies on creating an artificial indentation in the layers of the skin and muscle in the cheek, which results in the appearance of a dimple when smiling. There are two main techniques:

Surgical Technique (Most Common and Permanent):

  1. Anesthesia: Local anesthetic is injected.
  2. Small Incision: The surgeon makes a very small surgical incision inside the mouth, or sometimes on the skin’s surface (which is either not visible or very minimal).
  3. Creating the Indentation: A permanent or absorbable surgical suture is used to tie a part of the cheek muscle (usually the zygomaticus major muscle) to the skin in the outer layer of the cheek. A surgical knot is made to ensure the tissues adhere.
  4. Closing the Incision (if external): If there is an external incision, it is closed with fine sutures.
  5. The Result: When you smile, the muscle will pull the skin inward, forming the dimple.

Non-Surgical Technique (Using Filler Injections):

This technique is not a “surgery” in the surgical sense, but rather a temporary method to create the appearance of a dimple.

  1. Identification: The desired dimple locations are identified.
  2. Injection: A filler substance (usually hyaluronic acid) is injected into a specific area to create a prominence that resembles a dimple.
  3. The Result: This method provides immediate but temporary results, as the effect of the filler gradually fades over time. This method is not considered a permanent solution for dimples.

At “Health & Beauty Turkey,” we rely on the masterful surgical technique preferred by most patients to achieve natural and permanent results, and our doctors pride themselves on their ability to create dimples that look natural and interact smoothly with facial expressions.

After the Surgery: Recovery and Follow-up

  • Immediate Recovery: After the procedure is finished, you may feel some swelling or minor discomfort, which is normal. Our team will provide you with clear instructions on how to care for the wound.
  • Wound Care: If the procedure was done through an internal incision, your doctor may advise you to eat soft foods and avoid hard or sharp foods for a few days. The doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to prevent infection and an antiseptic mouthwash.
  • Medical Follow-up: There is usually a follow-up visit a day or two later to assess the situation and ensure there are no complications.

Recovery Period and Expected Results:

  • The First Few Days: Swelling in the cheeks will continue, and the dimple may be constantly visible at first, even when not smiling. This is normal due to swelling and the tightness of the sutures.
  • First to Second Week: The swelling begins to subside gradually. The dimple starts to appear more clearly when smiling and becomes less noticeable at rest.
  • The First Month: Most signs of swelling disappear, and the dimples begin to take on their natural and more realistic appearance when smiling. You may need some time to get used to their new look.
  • Final Results: The full results typically appear within one to two months. The dimples resulting from the surgical technique are permanent and interact naturally with facial expressions.

  • Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: To protect the treated skin, it is advisable to avoid direct sun exposure for long periods.
  • Gradual Return to Activities: Most daily activities can be resumed after a few days, but it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activities or sports that involve intense contact for two to four weeks.
  • Monitor for Signs of Infection: Pay attention to any signs such as severe redness, increasing swelling, persistent pain, or pus-like discharge, and contact your doctor immediately if they appear.

Price of Dimple Surgery in Turkey

Determining a precise price for dimple surgery before a doctor’s consultation is difficult, as the final price depends on several factors, most notably:

  • Surgeon’s Experience and Reputation: Highly renowned and experienced surgeons tend to charge higher fees.

  • Geographic Location of the Medical Center: Prices may vary between major cities and other regions.
