Dr Kimberly Lee Offering Dimple Creation Surgery in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills, CA, July 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Dimple Creation Surgery is a simple procedure that Dr. Kimberly Lee can perform in her Beverly Hills office under local anesthetic. The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes, is totally painless and there is no scarring. Dr. Lee can discuss your individual needs for your own dimple surgery, including location, size and shape. Dr. Lee will insure that your dimples match your unique facial anatomy.

What exactly is a dimple? In a naturally occurring dimple, there is a small defect in the muscles of the cheek (typically the buccinators muscle); when a person smiles or makes other facial expressions, the skin overlying this defect is stuck down to the underlying connective tissue and is pulled inward to create a dimple. At Dr. Kimberly Lee’s office, they can recreate this process.

Dimple surgery involves a small incision being made on this inside of each cheek. An absorbable suture is then placed through the inside of the cheek to the underside of the skin. Once tightened, a dimple will be immediately visible, but after a few days/weeks, the dimple will only be present while smiling or moving your cheek, as it would in a naturally occurring dimple. The suture will dissolve, but the resultant internal scarring will produce a permanent dimple.

Are there any complications associated with Dimple Surgery? Dimple Creation Surgery is very simple and reversible. Because it is performed under local anesthetic (you will be awake for the procedure) you can easily drive yourself to and from Dr. Lee’s Beverly Hills office. You may experience some bruising and swelling, but you can resume normal activities immediately. You will need to take antibiotics for a few days following dimpleplasty.

There are many reasons for wanting Dimple Creation Surgery. Many patients state that a friend or family member has dimples that they admired, or simply that dimples are a trait that they had always wanted. Dimples can improve the aesthetics of your smile and are held in high regard in many Asian and Indo ethnic cultures. Naturally occurring dimples are associated with the muscles in the face, and because muscles will stretch, they can sometimes fade with age. As such, dimples are often associated with vitality and youth.
