What is Dimple Creation?

Dimple creation, also known as dimpleplasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to create permanent indentations on the cheeks or chin. We perform this procedure to enhance facial symmetry and provide a more youthful, engaging appearance.

Overview

A dimple is often considered a sign of beauty and good fortune in many cultures. Through modern cosmetic science, we can now replicate this feature with a short, outpatient procedure that mimics the natural mechanism of a dimple.

Causes

Naturally occurring dimples are actually caused by a small gap in the cheek muscle (the zygomaticus major). When a person smiles, the skin over this gap is pulled inward, creating an indentation. Since this is a genetic trait, those without it turn to dimpleplasty.

Solutions

The primary solution for those desiring this facial feature is a surgical dimple creation. We use advanced techniques to ensure the result looks natural both when the face is at rest and during animation (smiling).

Types of Dimple Creation

  • Cheek Dimples: The most common type, usually placed where the natural "smile lines" occur.
  • Chin Dimples: Also known as a "cleft chin," created by making a small indentation in the chin structure.

Types of Treatments

We primarily utilize the "internal suture technique." This involves working from the inside of the mouth, ensuring there are no visible external scars.

Types of Stages

  • Consultation: We discuss your aesthetic goals and mark the ideal placement.
  • Procedure: The actual surgery takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Aftercare: Monitoring the healing process over several weeks.

Surgery Procedures and Recovery Time

We perform the surgery under local anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the cheek to remove a tiny amount of tissue, and a dissolvable suture is used to tether the skin to the underlying muscle.

  • Recovery Time: Most patients return to work the next day. Initial swelling subsides within a week, and the dimple, which is initially present even without smiling, will eventually settle and appear only when you smile after 2-4 weeks.
