29-year-old native of Boston (Massachusetts) Becky Tan admitted that for as long as she can remember, she always wanted to have small dimples on her cheeks.

“I've liked dimples since I was a kid. I dreamed about them,” Tan said. “I think they're cute.”

At the age of 17, she got pierced on both cheeks when someone told her that this procedure would give her the desired dimples.

“I wore it for maybe three months and then took it off,” Tang explained. She did develop dimples, but that didn't last long.

Resigned to a dimple-free life, she eventually forgot about her obsession "for a long time" until a friend told her that he knew who did the surgery.

“I saw the man and thought he looked really cute,” Tan said. “After that, I asked if anyone else had done this and read the reviews. This interested me."

Tang's research led her to Kim Facial Plastic Surgery in Georgia, where she was accepted to operate in January 2023.

According to her, the operation lasts only 20 minutes.

Tang said that when she arrived at the clinic, the doctor briefed her about the procedure and aftercare before the operation.

“I laid down in the treatment room and it took about five minutes on each side,” she recalled. “It’s just a quick stitch inside the cheek that pulls the cheek muscle.”

After the operation, Tan said her newfound dimples were very deep, but she loved them.

True, her face was incredibly swollen.

“The first two days I walked around very swollen,” she noted. “It didn’t hurt, I could eat and talk.” The only time it hurt was when I laughed too hard.”

“I took antibiotics for three days, but the pain was quite manageable,” Tan continued. “They prescribed painkillers only on the first day, and then everything was fine.”

She claims that the operation did not affect her sleep habit.

Like all good things, Tang's days of dimples ended with only one of them on her left cheek, and then it is only visible when the woman smiles.

Despite this, she maintains that she is fine and recalls how the doctor warned her that this could happen.

“During the consultation, the doctor said that in a small percentage of people, dimples disappear completely or disappear to the point that they can only be seen when they smile,” Tan complained. “I was one of those for whom they almost completely disappeared.”

Although she can "tweak" her dimples, the woman admitted that she is "happy with the only dimple left and will see how long it stays there."

“I wouldn’t get a piercing,” Tan said. “Now I’m a mom and I work, so it’s unprofessional.” My family and friends definitely thought I was going a little crazy about it, but once the dimples came in they thought it was cute.”

However, Tang recently uploaded a TikTok in which she explained that she is now reconsidering getting her dimples redone.

“I had dimple surgery on January 16, 2023,” the video caption reads. “I want them to look deeper, so I’m thinking about going back and doing them again.”

The video has received more than 2 million views since it was posted earlier this month.

After receiving several disapproving comments, Tang uploaded a second video explaining the reason for the operation.

“A lot of comments say I’m weird, have a mental illness, have insecurities and don’t like myself. This is terrible,” she said sadly. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I did what made me happy.”

“I have no self-doubt, I love myself very much. Also, I don't think dimple plastic surgery is a mental illness. So I’m happy and satisfied, ”the woman assured.
