Hello.
This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
As we get older, the impression our face gives changes little by little.
Has the expression that used to look bright when you smiled ever started to seem blank and stiff at some point?
After middle age, procedures that make the face look softer in the most natural and 부담-free way are often a better fit than large, noticeable cosmetic surgery.
One of the representative surgeries among them is dimple surgery.
Because it can bring energy back to a smile and make the overall impression look younger and brighter, it is a surgery that is especially satisfying for people in their middle age and older.
Today, at Mutoel, we’re going to take a step-by-step look at this surgery.

What kind of surgery is it?
In simple terms, it is a surgery that creates natural dimples without artificial scars or marks.
In most cases, it is designed to form dimples on both cheeks when smiling, but depending on the situation, it may also be designed on only one side or with slight asymmetry, taking into account the face shape and the position of the corners of the mouth.
The biggest advantage of this surgery is that it is performed by fixing the skin and muscle with thread through the inner mucosa of the mouth, so there is no skin incision and almost no need to worry about scars.
It also takes only about 20 to 40 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia, so recovery tends to be quick.

The importance of dimple position and depth design
With dimples, there is something different from other cosmetic procedures.
More than simply having them, what matters most is where and how they are.
No matter how beautifully they are designed, if the position feels awkward, they can instead give an artificial impression.
And if they are too deep or both sides are overly symmetrical, they may look unnatural.
That is why the key to dimple surgery is carefully designing it by considering each individual’s face shape, smile habits, and the direction of the corners of the mouth.
For that reason, before the procedure, it is very important to find the most harmonious position through sufficient consultation and simulation with an experienced Sinyongsan plastic surgery specialist.

If lip fillers and Botox are combined
The lips are one of the key features that shape the overall impression of the face.
In particular, when the harmony between dimples and the lips looks natural and attractive while smiling, the overall image feels much softer and more approachable.
By using lip fillers to enhance overall volume and improve fine wrinkles around the corners of the mouth, and at the same time using a small amount of Botox when the movement of the muscles around the mouth is excessive and causes the chin to wrinkle or the corners of the mouth to look downturned while smiling, it is possible to create a more balanced impression.
What are the benefits of combining them?
If dimples are created on their own, the area around the mouth may look flat overall and the expression may feel awkward.
In particular, when the lips are thin or the corners of the mouth are downturned, the balance with the dimples may not match, which can actually reduce attractiveness.
That is why at Sinyongsan Plastic Surgery, adding natural volume through lip fillers and gently lifting the corners of the mouth with corner Botox can help balance the expression and achieve a much more natural and harmonious result.
Conversely, even lip treatment alone can make the mouth area look more refined, but adding dimples together can give the entire expression a much more lively and soft feeling.

Recovery and precautions after the procedure
Right after the procedure, there may be some swelling or bruising, but in most cases it recovers within 1 to 2 weeks.
At first, dimples may be visible even when you are not smiling, but as time passes and the muscles settle in, they will naturally appear only when you smile, so there is no need to worry too much.
Lip fillers and Botox may also cause mild swelling for about 2 to 3 days after the procedure, but there is usually no major discomfort.
After the procedure, it is best to avoid making excessive facial expressions or actions that irritate the area around the mouth.

Duration and the need for maintenance
The principle of dimple surgery is that the muscles fixed with thread gradually fibrose and settle into place, so in general, semi-permanent results can be expected.
However, as time passes, if you lose weight or your facial structure changes, the dimples may become less noticeable.
Depending on the product used, lip fillers can last about 6 months to 1 year, and Botox may require maintenance at intervals of 3 to 4 months.
Because the maintenance period also varies from person to person, it is best to receive an accurate diagnosis through consultation at Sinyongsan Plastic Surgery.
Are there any precautions when choosing a procedure?
Procedures that show immediate results on the face should not be decided lightly just because they are simple procedures.
In particular, because dimple surgery depends heavily on design, careful analysis of the face shape and expressions is necessary, and lip fillers can look unnatural if too much is injected. If corner Botox is performed incorrectly, the expression may become awkward, so it is most important to receive the procedure after 충분한 consultation with a skilled plastic surgery specialist who has experience with a variety of cases.



In closing...
Dimple surgery and lip procedures are not just individual treatments; when they work together in harmony, they can create a much more refined and attractive impression.
Especially in today’s trend of choosing a naturally youthful face, these two procedures are one way to bring about a big change without 부담.
However, even simple procedures must be accompanied by design that considers facial harmony, as well as accurate diagnosis and planning by an experienced and skilled Sinyongsan plastic surgery specialist.
Please keep this in mind.

We will continue to do our best so that the next post can deliver even more useful and valuable information.
