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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dimpleplasty permanent?

Yes, once healed, the dimples are permanent. The suture creates a lasting connection between skin and muscle.

Does dimpleplasty hurt?

Local anesthesia makes the procedure completely painless. Mild soreness afterward is easily managed with over-the-counter medication.

Can I eat normally after?

Start with soft foods for a few days to avoid irritating the incision site. Return to normal eating within a week.

Are there visible scars?

No, incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no external scars whatsoever.

What if I don't like the results?

Dimpleplasty is difficult to reverse once healed. Careful planning and communication with your surgeon before the procedure is essential.

Can I get dimples on both sides?

Yes, most patients choose bilateral (both cheeks) dimples for symmetry. Single-sided is also possible.

Will the dimples look natural?

When performed by experienced surgeons with proper placement, dimples look very natural—appearing only when you smile after the initial healing period.

How long until I can return to work?

Most patients return within 1-2 days. Mild swelling is present but easily concealed or explained.
