Dimple Creation

Dimple creation is a minor cosmetic surgical procedure designed to create dimples on the cheeks, enhancing facial charm and expression. This safe and effective treatment involves creating a small depression in the cheek muscle, giving the natural appearance of dimples, especially noticeable when smiling. At Surgiderma Hospital, our experienced cosmetic surgeons ensure the result looks balanced, subtle, and aesthetically pleasing.

Dimple Creation at Surgiderma Hospital

Dimple creation is one of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures for individuals who desire a more engaging smile and enhanced facial appeal. The procedure is performed to form dimples on one or both cheeks, depending on the patient’s preference. It’s a quick outpatient procedure and is popular among both men and women seeking to add a natural facial enhancement.

This surgery involves creating a small incision inside the mouth and placing a suture to create a connection between the skin and underlying cheek muscle (buccinator). The result is a dimple that becomes visible when smiling. Since there are no external incisions, the face retains a natural appearance with no scars.

Dimple Creation Surgical Technique

Dimple creation falls under cosmetic surgery and focuses solely on improving facial aesthetics without altering other facial structures. The goal is to mimic naturally occurring dimples in a strategic and artistic manner.

The technique involves:

  • Administering local anesthesia to numb the cheek

  • Making a small incision inside the mouth (no visible scar)

  • Creating a controlled adhesion between the inner cheek and skin

  • Placing a dissolvable suture to simulate a natural dimple

The procedure usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and patients can return home immediately after the surgery.

Procedure Details

At Surgiderma, dimpleplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia. The choice of technique, cheek location, and dimple depth are customized based on your facial symmetry, muscle structure, and desired results.

Unlike many other facial procedures, dimple creation does not involve cutting through large areas of tissue or manipulating bone, making it far less invasive. The incision is made entirely inside the mouth, so the outer skin remains untouched.

Over time, as the skin and underlying muscle heal, a natural-looking dimple forms, which becomes more prominent when smiling.
