Dimple creation surgery (Dimpleplasty) is a minor cosmetic procedure designed to create permanent dimples on the cheeks. The procedure involves forming a small indentation in the cheek muscle that becomes visible when you smile.
It is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, and patients can usually return home the same day.
Cheek dimples are the most commonly requested type. They appear on one or both cheeks and become visible while smiling. Placement is carefully planned to ensure symmetry and natural appearance.
Some individuals prefer a single dimple on one side of the face for a unique and distinctive look.
In selected cases, a chin indentation can also be created to enhance lower facial definition.
Dimple creation surgery enhances facial attractiveness by adding a youthful and charming feature to your smile. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and does not require external incisions, which means there are no visible scars. It is performed under local anesthesia and typically involves minimal downtime. Results are long-lasting, and the dimples gradually appear more natural as healing progresses. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Pushpendra Kanaujia, the outcome looks subtle and harmonizes with your natural facial expressions.
During your consultation:
Facial symmetry is evaluated
Desired dimple position is marked
Size and depth are discussed
Medical history is reviewed
Dr. Kanaujia ensures the chosen position complements your natural smile and facial proportions.
Dimple creation surgery is performed under local anesthesia inside the cheek.
The procedure involves:
Making a small incision inside the mouth (no external scar).
Creating a tiny connection between the cheek muscle and inner skin.
Placing a dissolvable suture to form the dimple indentation.
The procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Since there are no external cuts, visible scarring is avoided.
After surgery:
Mild swelling may occur
Minimal discomfort is expected
Patients can resume routine activities the same day
Oral hygiene instructions are provided
Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection.
Recovery after dimple creation surgery is usually quick and smooth. Mild swelling may be noticeable for a few days. Initially, the dimple may appear even when not smiling, but as healing progresses over a few weeks, it becomes visible primarily during facial expressions and smiling. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, and complete healing typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks. The final appearance becomes more natural as the tissue settles.
