Understanding the Procedure

How dimple creation actually works

A natural dimple is caused by a small anatomic defect in the buccinator muscle of the cheek. When you smile, the muscle contracts and pulls the overlying skin inward. Dimpleplasty recreates this exact anatomical mechanism through a tiny, hidden incision inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars on your face.

Key facts about dimpleplasty

No External Scars

The entire procedure is performed from the inside of the mouth (intraorally), ensuring your cheeks remain completely free of surgical marks.

Customizable Placement

During your consultation, you and Dr. Suman will carefully map out the exact position, depth, and size of the dimples to complement your unique facial structure.

Quick & Local

It is a straightforward outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, usually taking less than 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

Permanent Enhancement

While the dimples will initially be visible even when resting, they will soften over time and appear naturally only when you smile, lasting a lifetime.

Surgical Steps

The process of creating your dimple

Step 1

Precision Marking

Before any anesthesia is given, Dr. Suman works closely with you in front of a mirror to mark the exact, most flattering location for your new dimple.

Step 2

Local Anesthesia

The inside of the cheek is numbed completely with a local anesthetic, ensuring the entire procedure is comfortable and pain-free while you remain awake.

Step 3

Muscle Tethering

A tiny incision is made inside the mouth. A small amount of cheek muscle is removed, and a suture is passed through the muscle and caught in the undersurface of the skin.

Step 4

The Dimple Formation

When the suture is tied, it creates the dimple effect. As the mouth heals, natural scar tissue replaces the suture, permanently linking the muscle and skin together.

What to Expect

Recovery timeline

Dimpleplasty boasts a very rapid recovery period. Because the incision is inside the mouth, careful oral hygiene is the most important part of your aftercare.

Day 1–3

Mild swelling and soreness are normal. You will use a prescribed antiseptic mouthwash and stick to a soft diet (like smoothies or soups) to protect the internal stitches.

Week 1–2

Swelling resolves significantly. The absorbable sutures inside your mouth will begin to dissolve. Your dimple will likely be visible at all times during this phase, even without smiling.

Week 3–4

The internal tissues heal and the dimple begins to soften and relax. You can comfortably resume all normal dietary habits and intense exercise routines.

Month 2–3

The final, natural result settles. The tissue relaxes so that the dimple typically only appears when you smile or animate your face, exactly like a natural genetic dimple.

Common Questions

FAQ

Will the dimple be there all the time?

Initially, yes. For the first few weeks, the dimple may be present even when your face is resting due to the tightness of the suture. As the area heals and the suture dissolves, the dimple will flatten out and usually only appear when you smile.

Is the procedure reversible?

Dimpleplasty is designed to be a permanent procedure. While partial reversal might be possible in some cases, it is difficult and not guaranteed. You should be absolutely certain of your decision before proceeding.

Can I choose exactly where the dimple goes?

Yes. You and Dr. Suman will work together to find the most flattering placement. Usually, this is optimally located at the intersection of a horizontal line from the corner of the mouth and a vertical line from the outer corner of the eye.

Are there any risks to chewing or facial movement?

No. Because only a very tiny piece of the buccinator muscle is tethered, it does not affect your ability to chew, speak, or smile normally. The procedure is entirely cosmetic and safe.

Liposuction Surgery

Are you tired of rigorous dieting and exercising to lose stubborn pockets of fat? Liposuction is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, dramatically improving your natural contours. Dr. Suman Babu, a leading Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon in Hyderabad, offers advanced, customized liposuction procedures tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.

 

While being overweight often requires a comprehensive diet and exercise plan, liposuction is the ideal solution for localized, treatment-resistant fat. It permanently removes fat cells from areas that do not respond to traditional fitness routines, ensuring a smoother and more sculpted appearance.

Advanced Body Contouring

As a premier cosmetic surgeon in India, Dr. Suman Babu utilizes the latest, minimally invasive techniques—such as Tumescent, VASER, and Power-Assisted Liposuction—at his Hyderabad clinic. These state-of-the-art modalities ensure maximum safety, lesser blood loss, and superior body contouring with beautiful, long-lasting results.

 

Common Treatment Areas

Liposuction can be used to permanently remove stubborn fat from various parts of the body to help you achieve a harmonious, well-proportioned figure.

Common Questions About Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical fat removal procedure. During the surgery, the area is numbed, and a small incision is made. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted to safely break up and suction out stubborn fat deposits, instantly reshaping the targeted area.

The ideal candidate is at or near their target body weight but struggles with localized, diet-resistant fat pockets. For the best body contouring results, you should be in good general health, a non-smoker, and have good skin elasticity to ensure your skin retracts smoothly over your new shape.

 

Thanks to Dr. Suman Babu's minimally invasive techniques, recovery is relatively fast. Most patients in Hyderabad can safely resume desk jobs and light activities within 5 to 7 days. To minimize swelling and optimize your new contours, you will be advised to wear a specialized compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks.
