Dimpleplasty: Everything You Need to Know About Dimple Creation Surgery

Dimples have long been considered a charming and attractive facial feature. Whether you’re inspired by celebrity smiles or simply want to enhance your own facial aesthetics, Dimpleplasty—also known as dimple creation surgery—offers a quick, minimally invasive way to achieve natural-looking dimples. If you’re considering cosmetic procedures to subtly enhance your appearance, Dimpleplasty might be the perfect solution.

At Cosmetic Surgery Partners, our team of highly experienced facial surgeons performs safe and effective dimple creation surgery in London, using advanced techniques tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Dimpleplasty: the procedure, cost, recovery, benefits, and what to expect.

What is Dimpleplasty?

Dimpleplasty is a minor cosmetic surgery that creates dimples on the cheeks or chin via a small incision inside the mouth. When you smile, this will cause a natural-looking indentation, simulating a dimple.

This minimally invasive procedure is typically done under local anaesthetic and takes less than an hour, making it a popular option for patients seeking subtle yet effective facial enhancement.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dimpleplasty?

You may be an ideal candidate for dimple surgery if:

• You have no significant underlying health conditions.
• You desire dimples for aesthetic or personal reasons.
• You want a quick and relatively low-risk cosmetic procedure.
• You have realistic expectations about the outcome.

Our experts at Cosmetic Surgery Partners will evaluate your facial structure during your consultation to determine whether Dimpleplasty is suitable for you. You can book a consultation via our Contact Us page.

Dimple Creation Surgery: Step-by-Step

1. Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our specialist surgeons, such as Mr. Andrew Douglas, an experienced consultant cosmetic surgeon. During this session, you’ll discuss:

• Your goals and expectations
• Whether one or two dimples are desired
• The ideal placement based on your facial anatomy
• Risks, aftercare, and costs

2. Procedure

• The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and typically takes less than an hour.
• A small incision is made inside the cheek.
• A dissolvable suture is placed to create a natural tether between the skin and the underlying muscle.
• No external cuts or stitches are involved, ensuring no visible scarring.

3. Post-Procedure Care

• The dimples may appear more pronounced at first, but will settle into a natural look within a few weeks.
• Most patients return to work the same or the next day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Dimpleplasty has a quick recovery time, but it’s important to follow post-op care instructions to ensure optimal results.

What to Expect:

• Mild swelling and bruising for the first few days.
• Temporary soreness at the site of the incisions.
• Dimples may look permanent even without smiling at first; they become more natural-looking as the tissue heals.

Recovery Tips:

• Stick to soft foods for the first 24–48 hours.
• Avoid excessive facial movement (e.g. yawning widely) during early healing.
• Rinse your mouth with a saline or antiseptic solution after eating to prevent infection.

If you experience any unusual symptoms or have questions about your healing process, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Benefits of Dimpleplasty

• Non-invasive with no visible scars
• Customisable placement for natural, symmetrical dimples
• Fast procedure with minimal downtime
• Boosts self-confidence and enhances facial aesthetics

Whether you’re looking for subtle charm or a bold change, Dimpleplasty offers a safe and effective way to transform your smile.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While Dimpleplasty is a low-risk procedure, as with any surgery, there are potential side effects:

• Swelling and bruising
• Infection (rare with proper care)
• Asymmetry or overcorrection
• Dimple loss if the suture dissolves prematurely

Choosing a reputable, board-certified surgeon like Mr Andrew Douglas at Cosmetic Surgery Partners greatly reduces the likelihood of complications.
