[Review on the day of dimple surgery] 1. Surgery received Long dimples on both cheeks (6 mm) I hadn’t decided what kind of dimples to get, but the director recommended long dimples because my face is on the round side. My guess is that for people with round faces or larger cheekbone and jaw bone structure, long dimples create vertical lines on the face, so the gaze is dispersed and the face looks slimmer. On the other hand, if your face is on the longer side, I think small point dimples would complement a long face and make you look younger. However, since they are tied with thread, long dimples can apparently come undone more easily than point dimples!! I saw a lot of reviews saying theirs became faint, and I wanted pronounced dimples, so I asked them to tie them deeply and tightlyㅎ
2. Price
290,000 won including VAT + 33,000 won for medication = about 320,000 won The initial price is 320,000 won.. but if you get inflammation, you spend money on medication and treatment, the dimples become faint, and I heard treating inflammation is very, very, extremely, extremely painful, so you have to take good care of it.
3. Hospital I chose this hospital because it had many reviews, was well-known, was not a large hospital, and had good reviews for aftercare. They said if the dimple completely disappears after surgery, they provide free A/S within 1 year, and if it becomes faint, they do revision surgery for 100,000 won per side, so I chose it.
4. Order and time required From entering the hospital to leaving: Chart and consent form writing -> face washing and waiting -> consultation and photo taking -> procedure, all within 40 minutes Procedure time - 5 to 7 minutes
5. Pain When getting the shots: local anesthesia >>> antibiotic injection After getting them: antibiotic injection >>> local anesthesia The antibiotic injection was given in my butt. After the antibiotic shot, the pain feels exactly like someone pressing hard on a bruised area. Local anesthesia just feels like a painful injection. It hurt more than jaw Botox. They inject the cheek and also inside the mouth, but after they inject the cheek, the sensation is gone, so it doesn’t hurt when they inject inside the mouth. After the local anesthesia wears off, it’s just a sliiightly “ohㅋ?” kind of mildly irritating, stinging ache. That kind of feeling. Not unbearable.
6. Precautions Eating, drinking water, and brushing teeth are possible from 1 hour later!! Remove the tape after 3 hours!! Disinfect inside the mouth once every 2-3 hours!! If you have a fever and pain, contact the hospital right away!! (It’s inflammation)
7. Swelling For me, on the day of surgery, there was almost no swelling, but since the muscle on the left side is more developed, maybe the director tied the left side more tightly, so only the left side swelled a bit more. But it was not major swelling to the point of interfering with daily life.
8. Medication Basically, for one week, take anti-inflammatory painkillers, a gastrointestinal motility drug, and antibiotics 3 times a day after meals, and disinfect inside the mouth every 2 to 3 hours~~
9. Lastly Things I was personally satisfied with -> It gives a cute, lively, youthful image. -> It improves asymmetry. -> It improves the face shape. My face was asymmetrical, but since lines and depressions of the same length formed on both cheeks, it also had the effect of making the asymmetry relatively less noticeable.
[8-month review after dimple surgery] Leaving a review now that 8 months have passed since surgery: first of all, around January-February this year, so at 4 to 5 months after surgery, the dimples came undone. Until about 4 months, they looked natural and when I smiled, the dimples went in deeply, so that was when they were the prettiest, but as time passed, they disappeared..!
