There is now a way for you to get those dimples that you so long desire. Thanks to advanced cosmetic surgery, plastic surgeons have now found a way to endow anyone with those lovely dents on their cheeks and make their smile a lot prettier.

According to this article by Dr. Grace Carole Beltran, dimples are essential parts of a perfect smile.

First of course are the flashing of pearly whites (the perfect teeth); followed by those red, well-defined lips that must have balanced volume and shape; gums that do not show too much; and nicely placed dimples, whether they be on the cheeks or right on the side of the lips.

With that point established, the next part is to actually determine how dimples are created. Dr. Beltran brings out the goodies.

Surgeons will normally follow this step-by-step procedure when creating dimples for a patient:

1. Create the markings on the exact locations where you want to put the dimples.

2. Disinfect the whole area.

3. Anesthetize the site of the procedure.

4. Cut through the inner cheek using a punch biopsy or just a blade 15. The aim here is to remove a portion of the tissues (mucosa, submucosa and muscle) to create a shallow defect under the skin.

5. The defect is then closed by using an absorbable suture through the cheek muscle on one side of the defect, then through the dermis and finally through the cheek muscle on the other side of the defect.

6. A knot is created, resulting in dimpling even without smiling.

7. Scar tissue forms underneath while the suture gradually disappears as it is absorbed slowly within the tissues.

8. After several weeks, the skin indentation will disappear when the suture is completely absorbed and only appears as dimples when one smiles. A perfect and natural copy of the real thing.

The procedure just takes about 30 minutes to finish. When the wounds heal up, you’re on your way to showing off that perfect smile with those lovely dimples around.
