As a common cosmetic surgery project, dimpleplasty has gradually attracted attention in clinical cosmetology in recent years. Due to its relatively simple surgical procedure and short recovery time, it is favored by many people who pursue facial beauty. However, choosing a regular medical institution for dimpleplasty is the key to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the operation. This article will focus on how to choose a regular medical institution for dimpleplasty, and will conduct a systematic discussion from multiple dimensions such as qualification review, doctor level, equipment conditions, preoperative management and postoperative services, so as to improve the public's safety awareness and judgment ability.
1. The qualification of the audit institution is the primary prerequisite
When choosing a medical institution, it is a basic prerequisite to verify whether the institution has a "Medical Institution Practice License" issued by the national health authority . This certificate indicates that the institution has obtained legal medical qualifications and has the ability to perform surgical medical projects. In addition, it should be further confirmed whether the institution has a medical cosmetology or plastic surgery practice registration , which is directly related to whether it has the legal authority to engage in micro-plastic surgery such as dimpleplasty.
At the same time, attention should also be paid to the level and type of medical institutions. Level 3 comprehensive hospitals or regular specialist hospitals with plastic surgery departments are usually more mature in terms of equipment, human resources and clinical management. For beauty clinics opened for profit purposes, one needs to be particularly vigilant as to whether they are practicing beyond their scope.
2. Pay attention to the qualifications and clinical experience of the attending physician
The effectiveness of the operation depends to a large extent on the technical level and aesthetic ability of the surgeon. When choosing an institution, patients should take the initiative to understand the professional background of the doctor who is to perform the operation, and check whether he has a "Practicing Physician Qualification Certificate" and a "Medical Cosmetic Attending Physician Qualification Certificate", especially whether he has a training background in surgery or plastic surgery.
In addition to legal qualifications, the doctor's clinical experience and preoperative design ability are particularly critical. Dimpleplasty requires comprehensive consideration of facial muscle direction, skin tension and individualized aesthetic standards. Technical operations require precision. The ideal physician should have rich experience in facial plastic surgery and be able to tailor surgical plans for patients based on facial structure. It is recommended that patients communicate with the doctor to understand his or her grasp of aesthetic concepts and surgical techniques during the initial diagnosis.
3. Evaluate medical equipment and sterile surgical environment
In terms of hardware facilities, regular medical institutions should have the corresponding sterile surgical conditions, anesthesia monitoring equipment and postoperative observation areas. Although dimpleplasty is a less invasive micro-plastic surgery, it is still an invasive operation in essence, with the risk of complications such as infection, scarring, and nerve damage.
The surgical environment should meet the national standards for Class II and above operating rooms and be equipped with complete disinfection and emergency response equipment. Patients can preliminarily judge whether the hardware conditions meet the standards by visiting the site, understanding the hospital layout, and observing the management of the surgical area.
4. Pay attention to preoperative management and postoperative follow-up system
A formal and responsible medical institution should establish a complete preoperative evaluation process , including medical history collection, facial structure analysis, psychological status assessment, preoperative photo collection, etc. Through detailed preoperative communication, doctors can identify potential contraindications and assess the gap between patient expectations and actual surgical results, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative disputes.
In addition, the quality of postoperative services is also a key indicator for judging the legitimacy of an institution. An ideal institution will provide patients with clear postoperative care instructions, regular follow-up reminders, and complication management procedures. In particular, when swelling, symmetry problems, or signs of infection occur after surgery, whether timely and effective intervention measures can be provided is directly related to the patient's safety and satisfaction with the surgery.
5. Understand the institution’s reputation and patient feedback
By understanding the institution's reputation in the industry and the actual feedback from patients, one can indirectly judge its service quality and surgical results. Patients are advised to understand other patients' comprehensive evaluation of the institution through offline consultation, browsing reviews on online platforms, and viewing real pre- and post-operative photos. It should be noted that one should be cautious about online information with overly perfect ratings or similar evaluation content to avoid being misled by false marketing information.
At the same time, the doctor-patient communication process can also reveal the standardization of the institution's services. Formal institutions usually have fixed procedures to guide patients to sign preoperative notifications, informed consent forms and surgical risk statements, reflecting their professional attitude in risk notification and legal compliance.
6. Avoid price-oriented choices and focus on cost-effectiveness and transparency
The price of dimpleplasty varies depending on the region, type of institution, doctor's qualifications, etc. When comparing prices, patients should not only focus on the low price, but should pay attention to whether the service content includes comprehensive services such as preoperative planning, intraoperative anesthesia, and postoperative follow-up.
Prices should be open and transparent, with clear details of charges . If you find that the price is significantly lower than the market average, you need to be alert to potential problems such as insufficient qualifications, low technical level, or use of non-standard medical materials in the institution. A medical service with safety guarantees usually has a reasonable and transparent cost structure.
VII. Identify false advertising and illegal operations
Some informal beauty institutions release false promotional information through online advertisements, social platforms, etc., such as promising misleading terms such as "risk-free", "no recovery period", and "no scars". Patients need to identify these misleading words and enhance their understanding and awareness of the nature of plastic surgery .
In addition, some beauty studios or institutions without medical qualifications use unlicensed personnel to perform dimple augmentation surgery, which poses extremely high risks. Such illegal operations often lack sterile conditions and professional management, and can easily cause serious infections, nerve damage, and permanent facial deformities. Patients need to be clear that all surgical plastic surgery projects must be performed by licensed physicians in regular medical institutions with relevant qualifications.
8. Strengthen the awareness of legal rights protection
During the medical cosmetic process, if a dispute or medical accident occurs, patients should know how to protect their rights through formal legal channels. Choosing a formal medical institution not only ensures the safety of the operation, but also facilitates handling in accordance with the law when problems arise. Before the operation, retaining all signed informed consent forms, surgical records and receipts will become important evidence materials for protecting rights.
It is recommended that patients obtain necessary information through legal consultation or medical dispute mediation center before surgery, understand the legal risks and coping methods of the surgery, and form a more rational decision-making mechanism.
