Dimple Creation & Buccal Fat Removal✦ in Pune
(Intraoral Dimpleplasty, Cheek Slimming & Lingual Frenuloplasty)
Intraoral Dimpleplasty, Bichat Buccal Fat Pad Extraction & Lingual Frenuloplasty
Subtle facial nuances make an immense aesthetic and functional difference. Dynamic cheek dimples convey warmth, youth, and charm, while excess buccal fat can create a heavy, overly rounded "baby face" that conceals cheekbone definition. Additionally, restrictive lingual frenulums (tongue-tie or ankyloglossia) impair speech articulation, feeding, and oral hygiene. Dr. Chintan Gujarathi offers specialized intraoral minor plastic surgery procedures performed entirely through invisible transoral access. Whether fashioning natural dynamic dimples that appear only when you smile, conservatively teasing out the buccal fat pad for sub-malar contouring, or performing delicate frenuloplasty, every procedure is executed with meticulous anatomical precision and zero external facial scarring.
Operated by Dr. Chintan Gujarathi (MCh Plastic Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital Fellow) at accredited tertiary centers (Ruby Hall Clinic, Sassoon Rd & Manipal Hospital Kharadi), utilizing sub-millimeter precision, concealed micro-incisions, and advanced tissue-handling for natural, permanent outcomes.

Your Healing Journey & Care Guide✦
A straightforward clinical guide to what to expect and how to care for your results.
Soft Diet & Oral Hygiene
Mild cheek puffiness similar to minor dental work. Zero external bandages or facial wounds.
Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that could irritate inner cheek incisions during the first 3 days.
Mucosal Healing & Initial Settling
Inner mucosal incisions are fully closed. Fast-absorbing stitches dissolve on their own.
Do not worry that the dimple is visible at rest initially; as internal healing softens, it becomes strictly dynamic when smiling.
Sub-Malar Contouring & Tissue Softening
Post-buccal fat swelling resolves, revealing sculpted, high-cheekbone definition. The jawline appears sleeker.
Final buccal fat reduction results continue to refine for up to 3 months as deep tissues shrink-wrap.
Dynamic Perfection & Permanent Result
The dimple now rests flat and smooth when facial muscles are relaxed, indenting sharply only during spontaneous smiles.
Because internal scar adhesion anchors the dermis to buccinator muscle fibers, the dimple is permanent for life.
Recommended Best Practices (Do's)
- Rinse your mouth with prescribed chlorhexidine or warm saline after every meal or snack for 7 days.
- Apply cold gel packs over your outer cheeks for 15 minutes at a time during the first 48 hours.
- Stick to a soft, cool diet (purees, pasta, smoothies, khichdi) for the first 3 to 4 days.
- Sleep with your head elevated on 2 pillows for the first 3 nights to speed up swelling clearance.
Precautions & Safeguards (Don'ts)
- Do not eat sharp, crunchy, extremely hot, or spicy foods for the initial 5 days.
- Do not poke or touch the inner cheek stitches with your tongue or fingers.
- Do not drink through a straw or smoke for the first week, as suction can disrupt internal sutures.
- Do not engage in contact sports or vigorous cheek massage for 2 weeks.
