Surgical method
There are many methods of dimple shaping, all of which are very simple. It is usually carried out in the mouth, so it will not leave skin scars. There are three commonly used methods: embedding thread, sewing and cutting embedding thread. Either way, you can reveal charming dimples when you smile.
Sewing method: also known as sewing method, directly in the buccal fossa position, the muscles and dermis are connected with silk thread to form dimples. The suture method is simple and easy, and there is no surgical incision, but the effect is uncertain, and the dimple after molding is easy to disappear.
Introduction method: relatively simple and quick. A pair of dimples usually takes only a few minutes to complete, but the long-term effect is uncertain.
Incision method: Make a vertical incision with a length of 2 cm on the buccal mucosa in the oral cavity, separate the mucosa from the muscle, cut off a small amount of muscle and adipose tissue, sew a needle on some muscles and dermis in the incision to form a shallow depression on the corresponding skin, and then sew the mucosa. This operation is complicated, but the effect is positive and it is the most commonly used method.
Subcutaneous ligation: draw a short line of 3~5mm at the fixed point of the face, and make a small arc incision of 3mm at the oral mucosa corresponding to the fixed point, with the long axis of the incision parallel to the nasolabial groove. The straight needle of No.5 silk thread was inserted from the upper end of the small incision on the buccal mucosa in the oral cavity, passed through the upper end of the fixed line on the buccal skin, passed through the same root, penetrated into the skin for the second time from the second puncture point, and finally passed through the lower end of the small incision on the buccal mucosa in the oral cavity. Pull the needle and thread to make a dent in the fixed point of the cheek skin, slowly apply force, tie the knot and tighten it, pay attention to the size, depth and shape of the artificial dimple, and adjust it appropriately until it is satisfactory. Subcutaneous ligation is not suitable for patients with more cheek fat, and such patients need to use oral incision.
Intraoral incision: make an 8mm transverse incision at the oral mucosa corresponding to the oral fixed point, separate the small incision to expose the buccal muscle fiber, clip out and cut off the muscle fiber, and suture the buccal mucosa with the subcutaneous dermis at the fixed point of the cheek. At this time, you can see what the artificial dimple looks like after forming.
Matters needing attention
Patients with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, infectious diseases, allergic history of blood diseases, scar hyperplasia and other physical conditions.
For people with thin cheeks, especially those with "inverted triangle" faces, dimples will appear uncoordinated.
Generally speaking, the speed of postoperative recovery is related to factors such as age, physique, physical condition during operation (such as whether it is in menstrual period) and proper postoperative care. As long as there is no infection, the recovery will be faster if the doctor's advice is strictly followed after operation, and vice versa. Generally speaking, the dimple shape will gradually become natural after three months of dimple shaping.
indicate
1, no dimples or peaceful facial features; Especially those who add dimples can give people a bright feeling.
2, unilateral dimples, dimples are asymmetrical.
complication
1. swelling: swelling and induration will occur locally due to the cutting stimulation of the surgical line. However, after removal and suture, the swelling will gradually subside, generally without special treatment.
2, infection: because the mouth needs to eat every day, sometimes it will lead to local infection. If the local redness, heat and pain, inflammation will occur, and the application of antibiotics can not be alleviated, the stitches should be removed to avoid aggravation of infection.
3, the shape of the dimple is unnatural: when the face is expressionless, the skin will sag, even if you don't laugh, there will be dimples, which is unnatural, but after about half a year, the facial muscles will slowly relax and gradually return to the natural state. Dimples only appear when you talk and smile.
4, dimples disappear: because the knot is not tight enough, or there is no dermal tissue when passing through the dermis, this will lead to unreliable adhesion between the dermis and the buccal mucosa, and dimples disappear.
postoperative care
First, pay attention to daily oral hygiene after artificial dimples to prevent artificial dimples from being infected by oral bacteria. Remember to use normal saline a few days after operation, before and after meals, and before going to bed, about 7 to 8 times.
Second, in terms of diet and life, pay attention to choosing some high-nutrient foods that are easy to chew, digest and absorb, such as dairy products and beans. For better recovery after dimple surgery; Avoid eating hard food and all irritating foods, such as fried food, dried steamed bread, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, wine and so on. In order to reduce the stimulation to the wound and affect the normal postoperative recovery function.
Third, antibiotics should be injected under the guidance of a doctor in the first three days after artificial dimple operation to prevent infection. Beauty lovers should pay attention to the fact that facial swelling may occur after artificial dimples, which is a normal postoperative reaction and will soon disappear. After the artificial dimples are repaired, dimples will naturally appear. After about half a year, the facial muscles are still, the skin is not sunken, and it gradually returns to nature, that is, dimples will appear when talking and smiling.
Fourth, when sleeping after artificial dimples, raise your head as high as possible and take a semi-lying posture to avoid excessive congestion and edema on your face, which is conducive to swelling and recovery.
