Natural dimples occur in about one in five people because of a variation in the cheek muscle. Dimpleplasty recreates this feature to produce a dimple that appears when you smile.
This guide explains how dimple creation surgery works, who is a suitable candidate, what recovery involves, the costs, and the key factors to consider before making a permanent change to your smile.

A Note on What Dimple Creation Is, and What It Is Not
The smile is one of the most personal things about a face. Adding a permanent feature to it is not a small decision, even though the surgery itself is small.
Dimpleplasty is technically among the simpler cosmetic procedures performed in facial plastic surgery. The operation takes less than an hour, recovery is generally short, the scar is hidden inside the mouth, and the complication rate is low. None of those facts make the decision itself simple.
A smile is one of the most recognisable aspects of a person’s appearance. Dimple creation treatment changes how that smile is perceived, often in a subtle but permanent way. While reversal may sometimes be possible, it is neither straightforward nor guaranteed, particularly once healing and scar formation are complete.
For that reason, this practice takes a considered approach to facial dimple creation surgery. Patients are encouraged to think carefully about whether they genuinely want a permanent dimple and what style of dimple feels authentic to them. An honest consultation should be as much about deciding whether to proceed as it is about explaining how the procedure works.
The purpose of this page is not to persuade you to have surgery. It is to help you decide whether dimple creation is genuinely right for you. Both proceeding and deciding not to proceed are valid outcomes of a good consultation.
