Yes, you can remove dimples through a surgical procedure.
While dimple creation surgery (dimpleplasty) is more common, it's also possible to undergo a procedure to eliminate existing dimples. This typically involves a surgical separation of the skin from the underlying muscle where the dimple is formed.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Surgical Separation: A surgeon will surgically separate the skin from the underlying muscle attachments that create the dimple. This releases the tethering effect.
-
Potential Depression: Separating the skin can sometimes result in a slight depression in the area where the dimple used to be.
-
Filler Option: If a depression occurs, dermal fillers can be used to add volume and smooth out the skin's surface, effectively removing the visible indentation.
Therefore, if you're considering dimple removal, consult with a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon to discuss your options and potential outcomes.
