Dimple Surgery in Istanbul, Turkey Dimple surgery (dimpleplasty) creates a controlled connection between the inner cheek and overlying skin to form a dimple, usually visible with smiling. Who may be suitable? Healthy adults seeking a small, localised cheek change and accepting that depth, symmetry and permanence cannot be guaranteed may be candidates. Personalised planning: The position is marked with the patient, and the procedure is generally performed through the inside of the mouth. Early dimpling may be visible at rest before softening during healing. Dr. Semih Yıldız prepares the surgical plan after reviewing medical history, photographs and treatment goals. Recovery and safety: Swelling, bruising and temporary discomfort are expected. Activity, compression garments or dressings, return to work and travel timing depend on the procedure and individual healing. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, persistent dimpling, loss of the dimple, cheek contour irregularity, salivary duct or nerve injury and revision surgery. Benefits, limitations and alternatives are discussed during informed consent. Frequently asked questions How much does dimple surgery in Istanbul cost?
