Dimples, caused by a defect in the facial muscles, are indentations that appear when multiple muscles pull against each other as one makes an expression.
For surgically created dimples to look natural, with no tell-tale signs of intervention, this same muscular defect must be recreated.
For someone like Yan Feifan, whose understanding of facial muscle anatomy was practically microscopic, this was a simple matter.
Chen Lingxin was on the operating table for a total of thirty-eight minutes.
The actual time Yan Feifan spent with a scalpel to her face was, all told, just twenty-nine minutes.
Because it was only a local anesthetic for the muscles, Chen Lingxin was conscious throughout the entire procedure.
After the surgery, she got off the operating table and walked out of the operating room on her own.
However, as she left the operating room, her facial muscles were still numb, so Chen Lingxin had to hold her own chin up.
