One of the most common and important questions my patients ask about dimpleplasty is: “When will my new dimple look natural?” Understanding the healing journey is essential for setting realistic expectations, and I believe in being completely transparent about this process.
Hello! I am Dr. Vishal Purohit, I am a plastic and cosmetic surgeon and I want to assure you that the best dimple creation surgery in Jaipur involves a predictable healing phase. Your new dimple will evolve from a “static” presence—visible all the time—to a “dynamic,” natural-looking feature that appears only when you smile. This transition is a normal and necessary part of your successful outcome.
The Static Phase: Initial Visibility Immediately After Surgery
Immediately after your procedure, you will be able to see your new dimple. This initial result is described as “static.”
A static dimple means the indentation is visible even when your face is at rest and you are not smiling. This is a completely normal and expected part of the initial healing phase. This static appearance is most noticeable for the first couple of weeks and is the first sign that the minimally invasive procedure was successful in creating the new adhesion between your skin and cheek muscle.
The Dynamic Transition: Achieving Natural Movement
As your cheek tissues heal and the initial swelling subsides, the dimple begins its beautiful transition. Over the next few weeks, you will notice the dimple “settles” and softens.
The internal adhesion, which was intentionally created, relaxes just enough to allow the skin to look smooth when your face is at rest. Your dimple will then become dynamic, meaning it will appear naturally only when you smile, talk, or grin. This evolution is precisely what creates a natural-looking, charming result.
Your Healing Timeline: When to Expect Final, Permanent Results
While the initial recovery time and downtime are minimal—with most patients returning to work in just a couple of days—the full aesthetic transition takes a bit longer.
Here is a simple timeline of what to expect:
- 1-2 Weeks: Initial swelling, minor redness, and discomfort resolve. Your dimple will remain mostly static during this period.
- 2-3 Months: This is the typical timeframe when the final, desired dynamic result is visible. Your dimple will appear when you smile and fade when your face is relaxed.
- 4-6 Months: This marks the end of the complete internal tissue healing and remodeling. At this point, the internal adhesion is fully mature, securing your permanent and long-term dimple.
Why a Static Dimple is a Necessary First Step
The initial static appearance is caused by the internal, absorbable suture I place. This suture holds the skin and muscle together, which allows your body to create a permanent, fibrous connection (a tiny, controlled internal scar) between them.
As this suture dissolves and the initial inflammation subsides, the new connection becomes flexible, allowing the dimple to relax when your face is not in motion. This internal technique is also the key to our scarring assurance, as the entire process happens inside the mouth, leaving no marks or scars on your external skin.
