DIMPLE CREATION
Queries for Dr. M.S.Venkatesh?
PROCEDURE DIMPLE CREATION
Dr.Venkatesh uses an incision from inside the mouth. There is no external skin incision. The point of creation of the dimple is marked out externally. Dr.Venkatesh uses a suture technique to create the dimple. The procedure involves coring out apiece of mucosa, fat and muscle from inside the mouth and suturing the mucosa to the dermis of the overlying skin with an absorbable suture. It is a very simple and short office-based procedure. Since it is done under local anesthesia, you can drive home afterward.
RESULTS
The sutures that Dr.Venkatesh uses inside the mouth are dissolvable so you will not need to have any sutures removed. However, a visible dimple will be seen all the time whether you smile or not smile for several weeks to a couple of months. The static dimple slowly converts to a dynamic dimple over a period of time and will appear only during smiling.
