Risks, Complications, and Safety Protocols
What are the possible risks or complications of dimple creation surgery?
#Complications are exceedingly uncommon, with risks limited to minor bleeding, localized infection, temporary asymmetry, or premature suture release leading to dimple loss.
What this means for you
Because the procedure is strictly superficial to the buccinator plane, major motor nerves and salivary glands are far outside the surgical field. Diligent adherence to postoperative antibiotic mouthwashes prevents oral bacterial contamination.
Care and next steps
Choosing an M.Ch plastic surgeon ensures anatomical precision and minimal complication rates.
