What Is Dimple Creation Surgery?
Dimple creation surgery (dimpleplasty) is a short cosmetic procedure that gives you a dimple on one or both cheeks. Your doctor makes a very small incision on the inside of the cheek and places a stitch that connects the cheek muscle to the underside of the skin. When you smile, this gentle pull forms a dimple. Because the outer skin is left untouched, there are no visible scars, and you can go home soon after the procedure.
Aim of Dimpleplasty:
Most patients choose dimpleplasty to:
- Add a dimple to one or both cheeks
- Make their smile more expressive
- Look fresher and more youthful
- Bring more balance to their facial features
- Feel more confident in photos and in person

Dimple creation may suit you if you:

- Prefer a long-lasting option over temporary tricks like makeup

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can dimples be surgically created?
Yes. Dimpleplasty is a quick cosmetic procedure that creates natural-looking dimples through a small incision inside the cheek.
How long does dimpleplasty last?
Results are long-lasting, and many patients enjoy their dimples for years. Your doctor will explain what to expect in your case.
How painful is dimple surgery?
It is very manageable. Local anesthesia numbs the area, so you feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness afterwards usually settles within a few days.
Which country is no 1 in plastic surgery?
South Korea is often seen as the leading country for plastic surgery because of its advanced techniques and high surgical volume. Dubai is also a top destination for safe, high-standard cosmetic care.
Is dimple surgery risky?
It is generally safe in the hands of an experienced doctor. As with any procedure, there are small risks such as swelling, infection or asymmetry, but serious complications are uncommon.
How to get dimples permanently?
Dimpleplasty is the only reliable way to get lasting dimples. Exercises, facial massage and makeup cannot create natural dimples.
Do dimples fade with age?
Natural dimples can soften over time as facial fat and muscle tone change. Surgically created dimples tend to stay more stable.
What is the age limit for Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty is usually done for adults aged 18 and above. There is no strict upper age limit as long as you are in good health.
Is Dimpleplasty 100% safe?
Dimpleplasty has a very good safety profile when performed by a skilled, experienced doctor. No cosmetic procedure is completely risk-free, but side effects are usually mild and uncommon.
