Many people are fond of the way that dimples look and find them charming. Also, in Asian cultures, many believe that a dimple imparts a higher chance of fertility, good fortune, and increased marriage prospect. But this is only a belief and Dr.Venkatesh cannot assure anyone about such prospects after the procedure.

How many dimples should be created ?
Generally speaking, Dr.Venkatesh prefers to create only one dimple. The reason that a single dimple is better is that it is very hard to make two dimples appear exactly the same in depth and shape. Even though Dr.Venkatesh can create more than one dimple, he recommends only one dimple.

The point of creation of the dimple is marked out externally.Dr.Venkatesh uses a suture technique to create the dimple.The procedure involves coring out apiece of mucosa, fat and muscle from inside the mouth and suturing the mucosa to the dermis of the overlying skin with an absorbable suture.It is a very simple and short office-based procedure. Since it is done under local anesthesia, you can drive home afterward.
