Dimple creation – Dimpleplasty

Dimples form naturally when there is a small defect in the cheek musculature. The skin that lies over this defect gets wedged down to the underlying connective tissue. When you smile, this causes dimples to form. With dimple creation surgery, we mimic this natural occurring process. A small incision is made to the inner lining of the cheek, and a small suture is passed through where the dimple is desired. Then this suture is tied, catching the surface under the skin, causing a dimple to form. In some cases, a small chuck of soft tissue may be removed to further enhance the dimple.
