| Abstract | ||||
| Aim: This study aims to evaluate a newly proposed surgical technique for facial dimpleplasty, focusing on patient satisfaction and early recovery symptoms and complications. Materials and methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 20 patients aged 20-27 years who requested dimpleplasty. Patients were randomly assigned to either the control group, which received dimpleplasty utilizing a conventional technique, or the test group, which underwent a new surgical technique proposed by the authors. Patient-reported outcomes included satisfaction with the decision, outcome, overall facial appearance, and complications. Results: Patients expressed excellent overall satisfaction with aesthetic outcomes, the decision to undergo the procedure, and facial appearance. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05). However, significant differences were observed in early recovery symptoms (P < 0.05). Swelling, discomfort, and bruising were more frequent in the test group, while facial tightness was more common in the control group. Conclusion: Our conservative dimpleplasty technique demonstrated high patient satisfaction and effective outcomes with minimal risk. The procedure's simplicity and reliability make it a viable option for achieving aesthetically pleasing facial dimples. | ||||
