Dimplepasty in Washington DC

What is Dimpleplasty?

A dimpleplasty is a quick, effective, outpatient cosmetic procedure that creates beautiful facial dimples. During dimpleplasty, a small portion of your cheek muscle and fat is removed. Your surgeon then uses a stitch, or suture, to anchor your new dimples into place. The entire procedure is done via small incisions on the inside of your mouth that lead to no visible scarring. 

Dimple surgery has surged in popularity recently- most people aren’t born with them! Dimples signify youth and beauty, and some cultures even regard them as a sign of good fortune. If you’ve always desired this rare trait, it’s time to learn more from the best dimpleplasty surgeon in Washington DC, Dr. Philip Schoenfeld.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dimpleplasty?

Before pursuing cheek dimple surgery in Washington DC, you and your surgeon will determine if you are a good fit for this procedure. Here are a few key points to note:

• Dimpleplasty is done on adult men and women of all ages.
• Dimplepasty is best suited for those in overall good health. 
• Heavy smoking, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and frequent oral infections can affect your ability to heal. If these situations apply to you, further discussion with your surgeon may be needed. 
• Dimpleplasty may not be effective or possible, depending on the volume of your cheeks and facial structure. Your surgeon will assess this in your consultation. 
• You should completely understand the dimple plasty procedure, understand that results are permanent, and have realistic expectations of your results.

The Dimpleplasty Procedure

Next, let’s explore the dimpleplasty procedure itself. Here’s what to expect. 

• The dimpleplasty procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. 
• Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. You can return home to rest and recover shortly after dimpleplasty.   
• Local anesthetic is used for your comfort and satisfaction. Your face will be numbed with medication, and you will remain awake the entire time. 
• Once you are comfortable, Dr. Schoenfeld will make a small incision inside your cheek and remove a tiny portion of cheek muscle and fat. 
• Next, the remaining tissue is anchored to your skin using a suture. This secures the newly formed dimple into place. 
• That’s it! If your sutures are not dissolvable, they will need to be removed at a later date. You will be seen for a follow-up appointment in our office to ensure you are satisfied with your results and your dimpleplasty is healing well. 

Risks and Complications

Any elective cosmetic procedure, including dimpleplasty, carries a small degree of risk. Infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and scarring are rare but can occur. Choosing an experienced and skilled surgeon is the best way to reduce these risks and complications. 

Dr. Schoenfeld and his staff aim to provide the highest-quality care and results. This begins before your procedure and continues throught the healing process. Our skilled and professional staff is always available to answer any questions or concerns. 

Dimpleplasty Post-Operative Care and Recovery

You must pay close attention to and care for your dimpleplasty as it heals to ensure the best results. For the first 24-48 hours following your procedure:

• Eat soft foods, take small bites, and drink plenty of water. 
• Use an ice pack or cold compress to ease swelling and discomfort.
• Avoid large or dramatic facial movements. 
• Be careful not to disturb or pick at your sutures. 
• Use antiseptic mouthwash or antibiotics as directed. 

Your dimpleplasty will continue to heal with time. Here’s what to expect after the first few days of your dimpleplasty recovery:

• Recovery is quick, with most patients returning to regular activity within one to two days.
• You may need to avoid certain high-impact activities for several weeks. Avoid contact sports or any activity that increases the risk of facial impact or injury. 

Results and Expectations

Following dimpleplasty, your face will be slightly swollen and puffy. This is a normal and expected part of your body’s healing process. It can take up to two to three months to see the final results of your procedure. The results of your procedure will be more noticeable at first, and will soon soften to have a beautiful and natural appearance. 

Cost of Dimpleplasty

Dimpleplasty cost in Washington DC typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500. 

Dr. Schoenfeld’s skill, experience, and stunning results are reflected in his pricing. The cost of your dimpleplasty can vary based on your unique facial structure, goals, and desired outcome and will always be explained to you before your procedure.
