10. Cosmetic Changes and Risks

Because many cultures and people consider dimples attractive, cosmetic surgeries developed to create them. The most common surgeries create cheek or chin dimples. In most procedures, complications are rare. However, these surgeries do carry risks. For example, the procedures can damage the underlying muscles and tissue, affecting mouth movement. Additionally, there are several cases of patients developing abscesses at the surgical site. It’s important to be aware of all complications and discuss them with a physician prior to any surgery, especially cosmetic.
