What is dimpleplasty? Does dimpleplasty work?

Everyone must have heard of dimple formation in life, but do you know what it is? Today, let's learn about it together. What is dimple formation and is it useful? Let's learn together with the editor.

The formation of dimples is caused by the movement of the facial muscles (zygomatic muscles), which makes the outer corners of the mouth present a round or oval skin depression. It is formed by the connection between the zygomatic muscle fascia and the dermis of the outer corners of the mouth with a dotted fiber band. Dimple shaping surgery is to artificially form a dimple by surgically forming adhesions between the dermis and the zygomatic muscles at a specific location. It is common to make a 2 cm vertical incision on the oral mucosa, separate the mucosa and muscles, cut off a small amount of muscle and fat tissue, sew part of the muscle and dermis with a stitch in the incision, form a shallow depression on the corresponding skin, and sew the mucosa repeatedly.

Dimples are formed by the activity of muscles under the skin. Most of the muscles in the human body are firmly attached to the bones by tendon fibers, such as the chest muscles and lower limb muscles. The facial expression muscles are an exception. They are directly attached to the facial skin. When the expression muscles contract, they pull the facial skin, so various wrinkles appear on the face, producing expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. The surgical methods of dimple shaping are relatively simple, and are generally performed in the mouth, so no scars will be left. Commonly used methods of dimple shaping are: suture method, introduction method and intraoral incision method. Intraoral incision method is a more commonly used method. This method makes an incision from the inside of the mouth, which is hidden and has no external marks, and is deeply loved by consumers. So dimple shaping is still quite useful.

Dimpleplasty is usually performed with an incision inside the mouth. Anesthetics are administered during the operation to relieve pain, so you will hardly feel any pain. However, the anesthetic will lose its effectiveness after the operation and the pain will be more obvious. The pain will usually last for 3 to 5 days. If inflammation or infection occurs, the pain will last longer and the inflammation or infection will also affect the effect of the operation.
