Dimpleplasty (dimple aesthetic)
Dimpleplasty creates natural-looking dimples tailored to the patient’s facial anatomy through a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure.
What is Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure designed to create natural-looking dimples on the cheeks or chin. While dimples are often congenital, Dimpleplasty sculpted in harmony with facial anatomy adds a controlled, aesthetic detail.
The goal is not to alter the expression but to give the smile added character and appeal.
Why are dimples perceived as attractive?
- They appear during smiling
- They add warmth to the expression
- They create a natural and friendly effect
Therefore, Dimpleplasty is considered one of the most refined and measured touches in facial aesthetics.
Who is it suitable for?
- Those who want to add character to their smile
- People looking for a cheek or chin dimple
- Faces whose proportions suit dimple formation
- Individuals seeking a natural, understated aesthetic
- Patients in good general health for surgery
Suitability is determined through facial muscle analysis and smile study.
How is Dimpleplasty performed?
- The location and depth of the dimple are planned according to facial expressions
- A small incision is made inside the mouth
- A controlled connection between the cheek muscle and the skin is formed
- The dimple is shaped with fine sutures
- No external scars develop
The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Where can dimples be created?
- Cheek dimples: the most common choice
- Chin dimples: for a more characterful look
- Single or double dimples are planned according to personal preference
Recovery timeline
- First days: Mild swelling and tenderness
- 1 week: Comfortable return to daily life
- 2–3 weeks: The dimple looks more natural
- 1–2 months: The final form settles
Initially the dimple may appear fixed; over time it becomes a natural detail that only appears when smiling.
Are there visible scars?
All incisions are made inside the mouth, so no visible external scars form.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is usually very mild. Most patients report a sense of fullness and minimal sensitivity in the first days; symptoms resolve quickly on their own.
Do the results look natural?
Yes. With careful planning and a measured technique, the dimple harmonizes with the face, without appearing artificial or exaggerated, and the smile becomes more attractive.
The aim is to create a natural facial detail, not a “made” dimple.
Is Dimpleplasty permanent?
The results are usually permanent. Over time the depth may soften, but the anatomical connection that was created remains.
Pricing
Pricing starts at 1.500€, depending on the details of the procedure.
The final fee may vary depending on several factors. For example, the patient's overall health condition, where the procedure will be performed, and the scope of the procedure are all considered before the final price is determined.
