Understanding the treatment

What is dimpleplasty?

Dimpleplasty creates an attachment between tissues inside the cheek and the skin, producing a dimple. It is generally performed from inside the mouth, without a planned incision on the outside of the cheek.

The procedure is intended to create a lasting change. The appearance develops as the cheek heals and the scar attachment settles, and it may be difficult to reverse.

Your consultation

Is dimple creation suitable for you?

Dimple creation is a personal choice. Assessment is needed to consider your cheek anatomy, health and expectations; it should not be described as suitable for everyone or every cheek type.

Discuss how a dimple may look both when the face is relaxed and when smiling. Early dimples can look deeper or remain visible at rest before softening. The final appearance cannot be selected with complete precision.

Procedure steps

How dimple surgery is performed

Dimpleplasty is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia. The time required depends on the technique and whether one or both cheeks are treated.

  1. Marking: the planned dimple position is discussed and marked.
  2. Anaesthesia: the cheek area is numbed.
  3. Internal access: a small incision is made inside the cheek. Depending on the technique, a small amount of tissue may be removed.
  4. Suturing: stitches create the attachment that forms the dimple. The number and type of sutures depend on the technique and your tissue.

After assessment, you can usually go home the same day with instructions for mouth care and follow-up. Dissolvable stitches may be used.

After your procedure

Recovery and oral care

Swelling, bruising and soreness can occur during early recovery. Cold packs may be advised by your surgeon. The dimple can appear quite deep at first, then soften over several weeks as healing progresses.

You will receive guidance on soft foods and any restrictions on chewing while the inner cheek heals. Follow the prescribed mouth-cleaning or rinse instructions, and use pain relief only as advised. The procedure can affect comfort when eating, particularly early on.

Attend the recommended follow-up appointments. Healing and the resulting dimple vary, and its appearance continues to change as the tissues settle. Risks and limitations, including infection, asymmetry or an unwanted dimple depth, should be discussed before surgery.

Treatment planning

What affects the cost?

The cost depends in part on whether one or both cheeks are treated and the plan recommended after assessment. A consultation can establish the proposed treatment and provide an individual estimate.
