How is the procedure performed?

Ozge Ergun, MD performs dimple creation surgery in my clinic under local anesthesia around 30 minutes.

Procedure starts with local anesthesia performed by the surgeon himself.

A delicate and small incision is made in the inside of your cheek. There will be no incision or scar on the outside skin. A tiny absorbable suture is passed through the inside of the cheek and meets the undersurface of the skin where the dimple is desired to be created.

When the suture is tied it creates a dimpling outside skin. The depth and the size of the dimple can be managed while tying up the suture.

The scarring between the muscle and inner skin will keep a permanent dimple even after the suture is absorbed some time later.
