Getting dimples when you weren’t born with them<\/b><\/p>\n

Anyone who would pay to put a hole in their face must have hole in their brain. That’s the only way I can explain the latest goofy trend in cosmetic surgery… a surgically inserted dimple.<\/p>\n

A recent report on MSNBC.com highlights the growing number of people who go under the knife to recreate what others get free. One plastic surgeon told the news agency he’s created hundreds of surgical dimples — and that people fly in from around the world for scalpel-sculptured cheek indentations.<\/p>\n

That’s turned dimple-making into a pretty good business for those plastic surgeons… they can make up to $5,000 for making those indentations, which take all of 10 minutes to create.<\/p>\n

I wish I could make money that fast!<\/p>\n

But while the procedure is quick, the recovery isn’t — it can take up to a month to heal, and you can expect to look a little weird at first: Until the cheek heals, the surgical dimple will appear at all times — not just when you smile.<\/p>\n

That’s not all — because this gets even more ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Some people who have natural dimples are paying to have them removed. The surgeon uses an instrument called a pickle fork, which pokes around under the skin to break up the dimple. Then, they inject fat into the spot.<\/p>\n

Dimples on, dimples off… It’s like the old Dr. Seuss book about Sneetches. Some of these creatures had stars on their bellies, some of them didn’t — and they spend the whole book (and all their money) adding and subtracting stars.<\/p>\n

People always want what someone else has… right up to the moment when they actually get it.<\/p>\n

Bottom line on this: If you think adding or removing a dimple will make you a better person, more attractive, smarter, wealthier or whatever, go right on ahead and get yourself one.<\/p>\n

Just be prepared for disappointment — because when the dimple heals, the hole in your life will still be there.<\/p>\n

Always cheeky,<\/p>\n
