Bruises are a noticeable trace after the dimpling procedure on the cheeks. This is considered normal, since a small amount of blood accumulates under the epithelium. Bruises are observed for 2-3 weeks, after the initial wound healing they disappear. If the hematoma lasts more than 30 days, then this is considered a complication.

The number of bruises is influenced by the professionalism of the doctor and the peculiarity of the patient's skin type. On the 1st day of rehabilitation, take aspirin and other medicines with acetylsalicylic acid to avoid blood thinning and increase in the size of bruises. You can hide the traces of dimplectomy with cosmetics.

Until 1 week, you need to eat only soft and easily chewed food. Before breakfast, lunch and dinner, treat the oral cavity with an antiseptic to avoid the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms into the wound. In the morning, brush your teeth with care, try not to touch the damaged areas of the cheeks.

You can take a shower after surgery in 4-6 days. After 2.5 weeks, a hot bath is possible. Cancel trips to the sauna and bathhouse within 30 days. Avoid exposure of the damaged area to sunlight, they can lead to pigmentation, which will make the seams more visible.

How long will the result last

The result of the operation is visible immediately after the procedure. In this case, dimples within 1-2 weeks will be visible both during a smile and in a relaxed state. After full muscle recovery, they will appear only when a person laughs.

Over time, the effect may disappear as the skin loses its elasticity and sags. If you want to remove the dimples, reconstructive surgery will help to do this.

Possible complications

Dimples on the cheeks can be made quickly and inexpensively. Cosmetologists claim that the risk of complications is negligible.

Only if the recommendations are not followed may appear:

• long-term edema;
• bulky hematomas and bruises;
• infection with pathogenic microorganisms;
• numbness in the cheeks;
• the appearance of asymmetry of depressions or their different depths;
• the formation of wrinkles;
• the formation of an unnatural depression.

Due to the individual characteristics of scar formation, the dimples can be placed asymmetrically, and their shape will not be similar to the desired one. This can be easily corrected with additional surgical intervention.

An operation that allows you to make dimples on a woman's cheeks is very popular. There are many plastic surgery clinics now. It is important to take a responsible approach to the selection of a cosmetology center and a doctor so that the result is always pleasing to the patient.
