Surgery and Recovery
The surgical phase of a Dimple Creation Surgery is a meticulously structured procedure performed under local anesthesia. Once the patient is stabilized and the target area is numbed, the surgeon begins by creating a tiny incision on the inside of the cheek. In a professional clinical sense, this involves the careful removal of a microscopic amount of fat and muscle tissue to create a space for the indentation. At Liv Hospital, we utilize high tech surgical platforms to ensure that every move is precise, minimizing trauma to the surrounding nerves and preserving the patient’s physical vitality throughout the intervention.
A vital component of the procedure is the creation of the permanent tether.
Specialists look for these indicators of tissue tension to ensure the structural integrity of the facial profile is maintained. This proactive approach is a hallmark of the care at our facility.
Once the connection is secure, the clinical team focuses on the internal closure.
Defining the success of this phase involves microscopic precision to ensure blood flow to the skin remains intact, supporting the body’s natural biological healing.
Safety is the hallmark of the care at Liv Hospital. Following the procedure, the patient is observed briefly to ensure they are comfortable.
These preventative measures are essential for protecting your systemic health during the most fragile phase of the recovery journey.
Recovery from Cheek Dimple Surgery requires a dedicated period of gentle care to allow the internal connection to stabilize.

If you decide you don’t like them shortly after surgery, the suture can be removed within the first few weeks to reverse the procedure. However, once the scar tissue forms (after a few weeks), reversal becomes much more difficult and may not be entirely possible.
Initially, it will be intense. As the swelling goes down and the suture absorbs, it will become shallower and more natural. It usually settles into its final depth around 2 to 3 months.
Yes, you can get cheek fillers. However, the injector must be careful around the dimple area. Injecting filler directly into the dimple could lift the skin and erase the indentation. Filler should be placed around the cheekbones to enhance them.
It shouldn’t affect the muscle movement of your smile, only the skin appearance. However, immediately after surgery, you might feel some stiffness or weakness due to swelling. This is temporary and resolves quickly.
For most people, they last a lifetime. The internal scar creates a permanent tether. In a small percentage of cases (less than 10%), the dimple may fade or disappear, requiring a second procedure to recreate it.
