What is Dimpleplasty?

Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that creates permanent dimples on the cheeks or chin. The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth and creates a connection between the skin and underlying muscle—forming a natural-looking dimple that appears when you smile.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Bring photos of dimples you admire to your consultation. Natural-looking results require careful placement — typically slightly above and to the side of the mouth corner for cheek dimples.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Initially, your new dimples will be visible even at rest (not just when smiling). This settles over 1–3 months as healing completes, and dimples will then only appear naturally when you smile.
