[보조개수술 QnA] 보조개수술의 장단점과 방법은?

Hello, we are Doctor Jin and Director Son from Flexible Doctors. Today, Dr. Jin is going to explain about dimple surgery. Why do dimples occur? This is a phenomenon created by the muscle structure of the face. There is a muscle that is referred to as the smiling muscle. When the smiling muscle pulls up with some adhesion to the deep layer of the skin,

the phenomenon that occurs when a groove forms on the skin is known as a dimple. What types of dimples exist? For convenience, they are classified according to the location of the dimple. If it is in the middle of the cheek, it is known as a dimple in the center of the cheek or a cheek dimple. You can also have an Indian dimple that you can find under Indian wrinkles.

Another type is called a lip tail dimple as it fits slightly under the mouth, and is the most common type of dimple. And then there is the long dimple, which is a slightly longer dimple that is located vertically along the middle of the cheek. To make things easier, we’ll just refer to the dimples separately as I mentioned above. Oh, I see. Then, what kind of dimple do I have?

Yours is the dimple in the middle of the cheek. Ah, I see. You have a dimple too, right, doctor? What is the procedure for dimple surgery? I can tell you that dimple surgery is one of the simplest surgeries conducted when it comes to cosmetic surgery. After designing the dimple in the desired position, we cut out a needle hole in the skin. The thread is rolled through the needle hole.

If you tie the smiling muscle that I mentioned earlier and the deep layer of the skin together, your skin will move up whenever you smile, which will create a dimple. Then, what is the healing process for dimple surgery? Nothing difficult. You should use ice packs to avoid swelling, take the medicines that we prescribe, and keep gargling on a steady basis because the wounds are small, even in the mouth.

It seems like a really simple process by the way you describe it, doctor. By the way, this is a surgery that women are really interested in. Thank you for the helpful information, doctor. We have been the Flexible Doctors. Thank you for watching!
