Dimple Creation

What is Dimple Creation?

Dimple creation, or dimpleplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that forms natural-looking dimples by creating a small connection between the skin and underlying facial muscle. Typically performed under local anesthesia, it involves a quick intraoral incision inside the cheek, leaving no visible scars. The resulting dimple appears mostly when smiling, mimicking the natural anatomy and adding a subtle, attractive feature to facial expressions.

The Dimple Creation Procedure

Dimple creation is a quick outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon marks the ideal dimple placement based on your facial anatomy and preferences. Small incisions are made inside the mouth to avoid external scarring, and absorbable sutures are used to anchor the inner cheek tissue to the skin surface, forming a natural-looking dimple that appears when smiling. The entire process typically takes 30–45 minutes.

Recovery and Results

After dimple creation, mild swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort are common and typically resolve within a week. Early on, dimples may be visible even without smiling, but they gradually become more natural-looking over 1–2 months as healing progresses. A soft diet and antiseptic oral rinses are recommended during the first few days to promote healing and cleanliness. Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 days, avoiding strenuous activity for about a week. Final results become evident as the sutures dissolve and the tissue settles, leaving subtle, natural dimples.

Ideal Placement and Customization

Dimple placement is highly customizable and tailored to enhance your natural facial features. The most common location is where two imaginary lines intersect—one drawn from the corner of the mouth to the earlobe, and the other from the outer corner of the eye to the jawline. However, exact placement can be adjusted to suit your facial anatomy and personal preferences.

During your consultation, your surgeon will work with you to determine the ideal depth, position, and number of dimples—whether you prefer a single dimple or one on each cheek. This ensures results that are balanced, flattering, and in harmony with your natural expressions.

Dimple creation results are generally long-lasting. Initially, the dimples may appear more prominent, but they typically settle into a natural appearance over time. In most cases, the results are considered permanent.

Will dimple creation surgery leave visible scars?

No. The procedure is performed from inside the mouth, so there are no visible external scars.

Is dimple creation painful?

Discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe the feeling as mild soreness, similar to a dental procedure. Local anesthesia is used to ensure a comfortable experience.

Can I choose the exact placement of my dimples?

Yes. Placement is customizable. During your consultation, you and your surgeon will determine the most flattering position based on your facial structure and personal preferences.

Are there any risks associated with dimple creation?

As with any minor surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as swelling, infection, or asymmetry. These risks are rare and will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
