Dimple Creation
Dimple Creation, also called dimpleplasty, is a quick cosmetic procedure that creates natural-looking cheek or chin dimples. It is usually performed from inside the mouth, so there are no visible external cuts or scars.

Procedure
- Consultation and planning evaluates facial structure and smile dynamics.
- The dimple position is marked based on how the patient smiles.
- Local anesthesia numbs the area inside the cheek for a painless procedure.
- A small internal incision is made inside the cheek, with no external cut.
