Just imagine – having enviable, subtle dimples that add something special to your smile.

A Beautiful, Charming Smile

Dimples are a lovely addition to the face of any person of any age. Genetics is the largest factor when it comes to who is born with dimples, but today there is a simple surgical process that can allow anyone to enhance an attractive smile with this feature. First impressions are important, and having a lovely smile is one of the easiest ways to wow anyone you meet.

Dimpleplasty Overview

What To Expect During A Dimpleplasty

The dimpleplasty procedure is surprisingly easy! It is typically performed right in our office. First, the patient helps to choose the ideal locations on the cheeks to place their dimples. The patient’s cheeks are numbed, and small incisions are made inside the cheek that are then used to suture the desired dimple into place. Patients require different degrees of suturing depending on the strength of their cheek muscles. The sutures help the tissue heal into place, and over time the dimpled area softens and looks more and more natural.

Dimpleplasty vs. Cheek Augmentation, Buccal Fat Removal, and Cheek Reduction

When designing your ideal facial profile, it helps to distinguish between treatments that change your overall facial shape and those that add charming, dynamic expressions.

Quick Comparison

Procedure	Primary Goal	How It’s Done	Best For
Cheek Augmentation	Add volume & lift	Dermal fillers or implants	Flat, deflated, or aging upper cheeks
Buccal Fat Removal	Slim & contour the lower face	Removing the lower cheek fat pad	"Baby-faced" or round cheeks wanting a chiseled look
Cheek Reduction	Narrow the facial width	Shaving or repositioning the cheekbone	Physically wide or prominent bone structure
Dimpleplasty	Create facial dimples	A tiny suture anchoring skin to muscle	Adding a subtle, charming smile accent

Focal Accents vs. Silhouette Changes: Procedures like augmentation, reduction, and fat removal adjust the overall frame of the face. Dimpleplasty focuses entirely on adding localized, animated detail when you smile.

Natural Synergies: Many patients pair a dimpleplasty with buccal fat removal, as slimming down the lower cheek fat pad creates the perfect canvas for a newly defined dimple accent.
Minimally Invasive: Unlike surgical bone or volume reduction, a dimpleplasty is a quick, internal-suture procedure that leaves no visible external scars.

⚠️ Pro Tip: Dimples are dynamic—they should ideally appear when your expressions change rather than looking static. Choosing a surgeon who understands the anatomy of the tethering muscles is key to achieving an authentic look.

Are you interested in dimpleplasty on its own, or would you like to pair it with a contouring procedure to enhance your overall results?

Recovery After A Dimpleplasty

One of the benefits of this procedure is that recovery is a breeze for most patients. Most go home right after the surgery. Mild swelling will occur and can be soothed with the use of ice packs. Swelling should go down in a week or so.

Oral hygiene is highly important during the healing process so the incision areas remain free from infection. Our patient care coordinators will provide you with detailed after-care instructions and schedule you for follow-up visits to ensure that healing is going well.
