In certain cultures, having dimples on your face is a sign of good luck. It is also said to be a symbol of truthfulness and beauty. Additionally, dimples might influence sexual preference. A dimple is essentially a tiny, hollow spot or wrinkle in the human body, especially one that forms in the cheek when a person smiles. It can be permanent or temporary.

When there is a tiny weakness in the cheek muscles (most commonly the buccinator muscle), natural dimples typically emerge. With facial movement, the skin covering this little defect forms a dimple in the skin by adhering to the underlying connective tissue (smiling). Variations in the zygomaticus major, a face muscle, may be the cause of dimples. Particularly, cheek dimples could be explained by the existence of a double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle.

It is normally recommended to have dimples on one or both sides of the face, as well as on the chin. The process of creating dimples is known as dimpleplasty. It’s a simple surgery that can be performed under local anesthetic. On one side, the performance takes roughly thirty minutes to complete. Throughout the process, you’ll be comfortable and awake. You can immediately return home and resume your regular activities since it’s a day care surgery.

Immediately after the procedure, there will be a transient puckering of the skin at the site of dimple creation for about 2 weeks, giving the impression that the dimple is always there (static dimple). After 2 weeks, this will improve and the dimple will only be visible when you smile (dynamic dimple). If necessary, we can create a permanent static dimple in both the cheek and chin areas.

What is Dimple Creation Surgery?
Dimple Creation procedure, also known as Dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that may artificially produce dimples that appear completely natural. To produce the dimple, a small, painless incision is made inside the cheek. The treatment is conducted from the inside of your mouth, leaving no incisions or scars on the exterior skin.

In general, the size and depth of the dimple can be customized to meet the patient’s needs and requirements. Also, dimples do not have to be limited to the cheeks. It is also possible to produce a dimple on the chin or elsewhere the patient desires.

All of this is decided during your first consultation with your surgeon. As a result, consulting is a key consideration when choosing on the type of operation.
