Dimple Surgery

Postby kchawla » Thu Jan 13, 2011 11:14 pm

Hello Dr. Lam,

I am really interested in the dimple surgery. I have studied a lot online and found out conflicting information. I always wanted a dimple. My friend got the surgery done exactly one month ago by a well known doctor in California. Since it has been 30 days today, his dimple is still showing without him smiling. It looks really odd. I have been reading that it takes 1 month to fall out. But, his is still there without him smiling. So, I am not sure what to expect? Will his dimple fall out? If I get mine done, will I run into the same problem? Is there a way he can help the dimple to fall by massaging it? Any other way make it fall out? I want to make sure his dimple are gone before I take the next step. Thanks. KC

hi,
i had similar variable issues when i was doing dimple surgeries. that is why i stopped doing them because i could not get consistent results. sometimes the dimple would not fall out and i would have to release the tissues. sometimes they fell out and i had to redo them. with all of that, i stopped doing them a few years ago.
best,
sml

I love Dimple,

I don't have dimple, can I get through surgery? what would be the cost in Miami for it?

Thanks!
