Is dimple creation permanent? How to care for them?

Having cute little dimples makes a smile sweeter and more attractive. However, the biggest concern for many people before undergoing the procedure is: Are dimple creation permanent? The short answer is YES, IT CAN BE PERMANENT. This article from Dr Xuan Quan Clinic will detail the factors that determine the durability and the secrets to maintaining beautiful dimples for life, according to experts!

What factors determine the durability of dimples?

Although it’s a simple minor surgery, how long dimple creation lasts or whether it fades over time depends on the following three core factors:

  • The skill and technique of the doctor: This is the most important factor. An experienced doctor will suture the cheek muscle to the skin in the correct position and muscle layer with the right amount of tightening. If the surgeon is inexperienced and the sutures are too loose, the stitches will quickly come undone, causing the dimples to disappear after a short time.
  • Quality of the sutures used: The application of high-quality, biocompatible sutures with high tensile strength will help the connection between the skin and cheek muscles adhere firmly and durably, minimizing the risk of irritation or premature dissolution.
  • Post-operative care: In the first few weeks, when the facial muscles are not yet stable, eating very hard or chewy foods, or touching or bumping the cheek area strongly, can negatively affect the internal sutures, causing the dimples to fade or disappear quickly.

Proper Post-Surgery Care Guide for Long-Lasting Dimples

To ensure a strong bond between the muscle and skin of the cheek, helping the dimples to quickly form and maintain their permanent shape, you need to follow this streamlined post-operative care regimen:

  • Frequent antiseptic mouthwash: During the first week, gently rinse your mouth with saline solution or antiseptic solution after meals to keep the oral cavity clean and protect the sutured area.
  • Prioritize liquid, easy-to-swallow foods: Choose foods like porridge, soup, milk, or smoothies in the first few days to avoid excessive jaw muscle contraction and chewing. Also, avoid water spinach, beef, and sticky rice to promote faster wound healing.
  • Protect the cheek area and avoid impact: Do not scratch, touch, or press on the dimples. When sleeping, lie on your back to avoid pressure from the pillow on the newly treated facial muscles.
  • Adhere to your doctor’s appointment schedule: Take your anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed and return to the aesthetic clinic for suture removal and wound check-up. Attending follow-up appointments allows the doctor to accurately assess the adhesion of the facial muscles, ensuring the dimples settle and maintain their shape permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dimple Creation

To give you a more comprehensive and reassuring perspective, Dr Xuan Quan Clinic has compiled and briefly answered the most common questions below:

If the dimples are permanent, can they be removed later?

Yes, they can be removed. If after a while you no longer like them, the doctor can perform a minor surgery to remove the biological sutures inside the oral mucosa, restoring the facial muscles to their original state without leaving scars.

Will skin aging permanently change the shape of the dimples?

Over time, the natural aging process causes facial skin to sag, which may slightly reduce the depth of the dimples. However, the initial muscle and skin connection will still exist, ensuring you maintain your charm when smiling.

Will the dimples look deformed when I get older?

Absolutely not. As we age, dimples will only become slightly shallower due to the natural aging process of facial skin, without causing any pulling or deformation of the face.

The above is a detailed answer to the question “Are dimple creation permanent?” along with core secrets to maintaining a charming and beautiful smile over time.
