What is Dimpleplasty?

Dimpleplasty is a small surgical procedure that creates a dimple on one or both cheeks. It works by creating a controlled connection between cheek skin and deeper tissue at the chosen dimple point.

Because the incision is usually made inside the mouth, there is usually no visible outside scar. The final look depends on cheek anatomy, placement, and healing.

The Procedure

How Dimpleplasty is Performed

A precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to create natural-looking dimples that blend with your smile and facial structure.

1

Marking

The planned dimple position is marked while checking your smile, cheek movement, and facial balance to choose a natural-looking placement.

2

Local Anaesthesia

The treatment area is numbed for comfort so the procedure can be performed with minimal discomfort.

3

Inside Cheek Incision

A small incision is usually made inside the mouth. Because the work is internal, there is usually no visible outer cheek scar.

4

Dimple Formation

A suture is used to create a controlled inward pull at the chosen point, creating the dimple effect when smiling.

5

Closure

The inner incision is closed, often with dissolvable sutures, and aftercare instructions are provided before you leave.
