Dimple creation in London

Throughout the world, dimples are often considered to be a desirable feature. In fact, in Eastern parts of the world, dimples are considered to represent good fertility and fortune.

A dimple occurs as a result of a small defect in the cheek muscle. This causes the skin to get stuck down to the connective tissue. While some may consider this a flaw, many people consider it to be a feature they wish they had.

Fortunately, you can now achieve your desired look thanks to dimple creation surgery.

Dr Onur Gilleard

Create dimples with a dimpleplasty

Dimpleplasty, otherwise known as dimple creation surgery, allows you to have the dimples you’ve always wanted. The newly created dimples will even be visible when you’re not smiling.

Dimple creation surgery is considered popular because it is such a simple procedure – it is done very quickly, you will be awake but unable to feel pain due to the local anaesthetic, and there is very little to no downtime, you will be able to resume your normal day-to-day routine on the same day.

Candidates

All patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with dimple creation surgery.

We do not treat patients below the age of 18 years of age. Healing is better if patients refrain from or quit smoking.

Dimple creation is ideal for those who:

Wish to improve their image or self-esteem
Want to enhance their smile with a dimple
Relieve pain and discomfort
Have some skin laxity remaining

Procedure

Before any surgery, you will be required to have a consultation.

The consultation begins by having an opportunity to discuss your ideas, concerns and expectations about the dimple creation procedure with your surgeon, and ask any relevant questions you may have.

Your surgeon will:

Take a focused history and examine you
Explain the dimple creation procedure
Take your needs and preferences into account when deciding on the most appropriate treatment option for you

Dimple creation surgery is considered to be a minor surgical procedure which will help to enhance the facial features and smile.

The surgery will be performed under a local anaesthetic, so you will not feel any pain or discomfort.

The procedure involves a biopsy instrument being placed against the buccal mucosa (inner cheek). Then, a circular cut is made through the cheek muscles. While the skin is left intact, tissue will be removed, leaving a circular shadow. The incision is then stitched shut. These stitches will be dissolvable, so there is no need to attend another appointment to remove them.

Recovery

Dimple creation surgery is considered a day procedure, and you will be able to return home once the effects of the local anaesthetic have worn off.

In the days following the procedure, you can expect to see some swelling and bruising. However, this will fade over time.

The sutures used to close the incision inside the cheek will dissolve within two weeks of your surgery. Once the healing process is complete, the cheek muscle will connect with the skin, and the new, natural looking dimple will be formed.

FAQs

Can I have dimpleplasty?

Dimpleplast is performed purely for cosmetic reasons. It can help to improve your self-esteem and body confidence. It is suitable for those who wish to enhance their smile with dimples.

You will need to have some skin laxity.

This is a suitable procedure for those over 18 years old.
How is the procedure performed?

A punch biopsy instrument is used to cut through the cheek muscles, tissues are removed and a cylindrical-shaped shadow is created underneath the skin still intact. The inside of the cheek is then stitched up, which forms the dimples.
What anaesthetic is used?

Dimpleplasty is performed under a local anaesthetic. This means you will be awake but will be unable to feel any pain in the treatment area.
How long does it take?

The procedure usually takes an hour and a half for completion.
What is the recovery period like?

Expect some degree of swelling and bruising for a few days but the recovery period for dimple creation is quite rapid compared to other surgical procedures.
What are the complications associated with this procedure?

There may be a temporary weakness on the cheek due to the newly created dimples, but very rare. The dimple may turn on deeper than you may have wanted. However, the procedure is reversible if you decide you no longer want the dimples.
Will I be left with a scar?

No incision is made on the outer cheek so therefore you will not be left with a scar.
Can I choose the position of the dimple?

Yes and this can be discussed with the surgeon during your free consultation.

Centre for Surgery is an excellent clinic. After having had a not so great experience with another clinic on Harley Street I was skeptical about how I would be treated here as well but I was shocked by how well they treated me! Receptionist Naz was one of the friendliest and sweetest member of staff that I've ever had, they are lucky to have her on the team!Dr Omar Tillo was extremely professional but at the same time made me feel relaxed and welcomed throughout the entire process, as well as his nurse. The entire procedure was painless and quick, with absolutely no complications afterwards or even any pain in the following weeks, which really surprised me!They have kept great communication with me throughout the treatment and afterwards so I have always felt supported and cared for. I cant recommend enough!

This is the 1st time I have ever visited a Private surgery. I had been doing my due diligence and found other surgeries just wanted to talk about money and not about what I wanted. Within Five minutes of meeting Dr Omar Tillo, I knew that I had found the right person for me. Dr Tillo and his entire team offer a first class service, I cannot rate this practice enough and would recommend them to anyone. The office and more importantly the operation area is spotless, nothing was rushed and all the way through from the nurses, anesthesiologist and finally Mr Tillo informed me of what was happening and that I was Ok. I am not one for surgery but wanted to change something that I wasn’t happy with, my only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. The reason for this post is to reassure anyone looking for a good practice to change their lives. This place is top draw.

I would recommend anyone looking to have a cosmetic surgery to visit the Centre For Surgery. I had two procedures done the same day, forehead osteoma excision and an open septo-rhinoplasty under their general anaesthesia technique – known as ClearSleep™, it allows you o be discharged the same day, right after the surgery you'll be able to get up and dress yourself with very little drowsiness that subsides within the following 30 minutes. The medical technique used by the surgeon for the rhinoplasty also made my recovery period very easy with little bruising and swelling that went away very quick. I didn't take any pain-killers as there was no need for them, only antibiotics pills for a week and some antibiotic cream for the incision between the nostrils.The process from first consultation to post-operative visits was a bliss. Nikesh Shah the patient coordinator was fantastic and made it all very easy for me as I live 6700 miles away from London and we needed to work around my visits to the UK. Dr Onur Gilleard is the kind of Surgeon you want, knowledgeable, patient, calm and reassuring, I had two visits pre-surgery and one post-surgery with him, every time I felt I was what mattered the most at that moment. The Nurses and the Anesthesiologist were fabulous during the day of the surgery, I wasn't particularly nervous but they made sure I had any questions answered prior to the surgery and had smile on their faces all the time while displaying high professionalism at all times. Post-operative visits went very well and eight days after my surgery I was flying back. It's been almost two months now and I'm very pleased with the results, which are very natural and most people after the second week couldn't tell I had any procedure done. You can have a chaperon and driver booked by the Centre For Surgery to go back to your hotel, it was a great service. Post-surgery you will be called every day to check how you are doing/feeling and if there is anything you need until you decide that the calls can stop.Overall a fantastic experience with the Centre for Surgery and their staff, which I have already recommended to many of my friends looking to have a cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Omar Tillo performed a bilateral otoplasty a few weeks ago and the results are better than I ever expected. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Tillo to perform my surgery. I visited both clinics for various appointments and they both are of a very high standard; all staff members were professional and very caring. I would highly recommend this practice. Thank you for the amazing job you performed.
