Dimple Creation

Dimple creation (dimpleplasty) is a minor surgical procedure that creates natural-appearing facial dimples by placing a small suture loop through the cheek muscle (buccinator), tethering it to the skin. The result is a charming indentation that appears when smiling. At Cutis Hospital, facial plastic surgeons use refined techniques to ensure symmetric, lasting dimples with minimal scarring.

Overview

Under local anesthesia, a small intraoral incision is made at the predetermined dimple site. A suture is passed between the skin and buccinator muscle and tied, creating an adhesion that forms a dimple when the patient smiles. The incision heals without an external scar. Results are immediate and permanent, with the final depth and position refined by suture tension and placement.

Dimpleplasty enhances facial expressiveness and cosmetic appeal. The minimally invasive procedure takes under 30 minutes, with patients returning to normal activities within 1–2 days. Cutis Hospital’s surgeons map facial anatomy meticulously to achieve natural, harmonious dimples tailored to each patient’s smile.

Who is a candidate for dimple creation?

Candidates for dimple creation are healthy individuals who wish to enhance their facial aesthetics with permanent dimples. Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking are preferred to support proper healing. Good skin elasticity and realistic expectations about results are important requirements for this procedure. Both men and women seeking a natural smile accentuation can be considered suitable candidates.

How is the procedure performed?

Dimple creation is performed under local anesthesia, with a small incision made on the inside of the cheek. A tiny piece of cheek muscle or tissue is removed to help create the dimple. The skin is then sutured to the underlying muscle, forming a permanent dimple that becomes visible when smiling. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and leaves no external scars.
