What is a dimple?
A dimple is a small depression or natural indentation of the skin that generally appears when a subcutaneous muscle is shorter than normal or when it is attached in a particular way to the skin. Dimples are often present on the cheeks, but they can also be found on the chin, shoulders or other parts of the body.
- Dimples are considered an inherited genetic trait
- They result from a unique anatomical structure where muscle fibers are attached to the skin
- They are appreciated as beauty features and add charm to the face
What is Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty, also called artificial dimple creation, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that creates dimples on the cheeks to reproduce the appearance of natural dimples. This procedure is performed by attaching a small suture between the skin and the underlying muscles, creating an adhesion that forms a permanent indentation.
How is the procedure performed?
Local anesthesia is used: the patient remains awake, only the area to be treated is numbed. The surgeon determines the exact location of the dimples by marking, based on the muscles and facial symmetry. A small 3 to 5 mm incision is made inside the cheek, with no visible external scar. The dimple is created by a suture connecting the skin to the zygomatic muscle. Closure is done with absorbable stitches or removed a few days later. The procedure lasts 15 to 30 minutes per dimple.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, Dimpleplasty is a permanent procedure. The suture creates a lasting adhesion between the skin and the muscle. It thus maintains the dimple in place definitively. However, as with any surgery, skin aging may modify the appearance of dimples in the long term.
What are the advantages of Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty is a simple and minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthesia. It offers natural and aesthetically pleasing results. Recovery is quick and post-operative pain is minimal. This procedure improves confidence and self-esteem. No external scar is visible, as the incision is made through the intraoral route.
What are the risks and side effects?
Temporary swelling and bruising appear, but disappear in 1 to 2 weeks. Mild discomfort or pain may occur, easily controlled with painkillers. Infection or bleeding are rare. Suture rupture or displacement remains exceptional. Asymmetry or a result not meeting expectations is also possible. These complications are rare and can be avoided by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Makeup allows creating temporary shadows using pencils or powders. Piercings involve implanting jewelry in the cheeks, but carry infection risks. Facial exercises aim to strengthen muscles, with variable and non-guaranteed effectiveness. These alternatives are not permanent. Their results are often less pronounced than those of surgery.
