DIMPLES CAN BE YOURS.....
Q. What is a
Dimple?
A. A dimple is a small natural
indentation in the skin, most notably in the cheek or on the chin. Dimples are caused
by a defect in the muscle of the face (zygomaticus major).
A. People have a belief that dimples
add to the beauty of the smile and thus find them attractive.
Q. Can I get
dimples if I don’t have them?
A. Yes.
Dimples can be surgically created in any person at their desired place.
Q. Is this
surgery only for girls?
A. No, even
males desire this surgery especially for the chin area.
A. No. It is a small OPD procedure done
under local anaesthesia and doesn’t leave a scar on the face. No cuts (incisions)
are made on the skin.
Q. Is the
surgery painful?
A. It is not painful. 5-6ml of Local
anaesthetic is injected at the site of the new dimple to be created, and the
patient does not feel any pain thereafter.
A. The
procedure usually lasts around 20- 30 minutes.
A. Dimple
creation is done on day care basis. Admission is not necessary for such a
procedure.
Q. Are the dimples permanent?
A. Dimples artificially created are permanent.
It usually takes 3 – 6 months for the final effect of the dimple to be
achieved.
A. These dimples can be removed if you
do not like them by another small surgery again done on a day care basis.
