Post-Operative Care

Dimple Creation

Possible Symptoms After Dimple Creation

✅ Normal Symptoms (usually subside within a few days):
- Mild Swelling and Redness: The cheek area may experience swelling and redness in the initial days. Applying cold compresses and resting will help reduce swelling.
- Mild Pain: A slight ache at the dimple creation site is normal and can be managed with pain medication as prescribed by your doctor.
- Difficulty Chewing: For the first 1–2 days, you might find it slightly difficult to chew due to the sensitivity of the cheek area.
⚠️ Symptoms Requiring Monitoring and Immediate Reporting to the Doctor:
- Infection: Manifested by increased swelling, prolonged redness, pain, and potential discharge of pus at the surgical site.
- Abscess: Formation due to untreated infection, leading to the accumulation of pus under the skin.
- Facial Nerve Damage: Can cause numbness or weakness of the facial muscles if the nerve is affected during the surgical procedure.
- Salivary Duct Fistula: Damage to the parotid salivary gland duct can lead to leakage of saliva.
- Scarring or Deformity: Severe infection or improper care can result in scarring or deformation of the cheek area.

6 Principles

Principles to Adhere to After Dimple Creation

Cold Compresses: Apply cold compresses to the cheek area for the first 2–3 days to reduce swelling. Note that ice should not be applied directly to the skin; wrap it in a clean cloth to prevent frostbite.

Avoid Strong Impact: Limit excessive smiling, talking, or chewing hard foods during the first week to avoid affecting the surgical area.

Recommended Foods: Prioritize soft, easy-to-swallow foods such as porridge, soup, and yogurt for the first 3–5 days.

Foods to Avoid: Abstain from spicy, hot foods, sticky rice, chicken, seafood, and water spinach for at least 1 month to reduce the risk of inflammation and scarring.

Oral Hygiene: Rinse your mouth with physiological saline or an antiseptic solution after each meal to keep the surgical area clean and prevent infection.

Medication Use: Strictly adhere to your doctor’s instructions regarding the use of antibiotics and pain relievers. Do not take any other medications without prescription.

Adequate Rest: Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late to allow the body to recover quickly.

Avoid Strenuous Activity: Limit intense physical activities, especially those affecting the facial area, during the first week after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions After Dimple Creation

How long will it take for the dimples to look natural?

Typically, after 5–7 days, the cheek area will have reduced swelling, and the dimples will start to look more natural. However, the recovery time can vary depending on individual physiology and aftercare.

Is suture removal required after dimple creation?

No. The doctor uses self-dissolving cosmetic sutures during the dimple creation process, so you do not need to return for suture removal after the surgery.

Will dimple creation leave scars?

No. This method is performed inside the oral cavity, with no external skin incisions, thus leaving no visible scars on the face.

Does dimple creation affect the jawbone or chewing function?

No. This is a simple minor surgical procedure that only affects the soft tissue under the skin and does not impact the jawbone or your chewing function.

How long do the results of dimple creation last?

The results usually last from 5 to 10 years, depending on your individual physiology and aftercare. In some cases, the dimples can be permanent.

Is downtime required after dimple creation?

No. You can resume normal activities after the surgery, but it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, excessive smiling, or talking a lot during the first few days to allow the cheek area to heal optimally.
