Remove dimples on the chin
Don't like your chin dimple and want to have it removed? Many people especially like this little notch. Before you decide to do this, however, you should think twice.
The dimple on the chin
Dimple comes from "pit" - Latin "diminutive" - "reduce".
- It is the trough-shaped, small indentations that describe the biological and medical area of the dimple. These rather innate depressions in the tissue are not only found on the chin. They can also be found in the area of the buttocks, the cheek or the forehead and the move.
- As a rule, these bulges can be recognized when one or the other muscle is tensed - for example on the chin. Experts assume that these arise either through adhesions in the area of the connective tissue or through the tiny muscle fibers when the skin contracts. That is, when you smile, laugh or grin, a "pit" arises.
- The laughing muscles are responsible for this notch. This includes the zygomatic muscle (Musculus zygomaticus major). This connects the corner of the mouth with the zygomatic arch (zygomatic arc).
- Many people do not want to have this notch removed because it is seen as erotic. The depressions can also be in the area of the buttocks, near the lumbar spine (lumbar dimples). These depressions are also called "Venus dimples".
A cleft chin is considered a blemish, but that doesn't mean you ...
If you plan to have the indentation removed, you should think twice.
The pros and cons of having the notch removed
- A hundred years ago, not only were the lumbar dimples highlighted in nude painting, but also the dimple on the chin. It counts to this day as very feminine and erotic.
- There are also dimples on the chin that can occur as a result of wound healing, for example after an operation. The scar then contracts and a depression is created. Some people find these unsightly and have this notch (scar) removed. But notches can also occur due to the skin disease "psoriasis". Whether these can be corrected depends on the disease. In some cases, however, the indentations can be corrected, and in this case it usually pays Health insurance the correction.
- You should know that the health insurance companies usually neither pay nor subsidize this operation if it is purely a cosmetic operation.
- To have the indentation removed, you will need to see a cosmetic surgeon who will either put you under anesthesia or into twilight sleep. Sometimes a local anesthetic is sufficient. This correction is usually carried out on an outpatient basis.
- Every operation hides risks that cannot always be controlled by the medical professional. You may get bleeding and infection. A sensory disturbance in the area of the lower part of the face can also occur. In the worst-case scenario, the bone becomes inflamed or the implant that is supposed to hide the notch slips out of place.
The prices are always based on the price list of the respective cosmetic surgeon and, of course, on the technology used.
