Top-notch service that always exceeds expectations.
What Is a Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty is a quick, minimally invasive cosmetic surgical procedure that helps individuals get the beautiful smile they like. It is designed to create or amplify dimples on the cheeks or chin, elevate facial aesthetics, and accentuate features without causing scars.
Dimples are natural indentations that form when a small variation in the muscle beneath the skin gently pulls it inward during a smile. Even though they result from a subtle anatomical difference, dimples are widely regarded as a symbol of beauty, youthfulness, and charm. While some individuals are naturally born with them, others choose a simple surgical enhancement to achieve the same captivating and attractive looks.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shokrian customizes each Dimpleplasty to your facial and beauty goals, to produce subtle, natural-looking dimples that enhance your facial harmony.

Can a Dimpleplasty Make Me Look Younger?
Even though dimples are technically a small variation in the formation of cheek muscles, they are widely considered an eye-catching facial feature.
Dimples can add to your appearance in several ways by:
- Creating the illusion of slimmer, more contoured cheeks
- Contributing to a more youthful look
- Giving you a fascinating, eye-catching smile
- Enhancing your natural facial beauty
Many people and cultures associate dimples with good fortune and charm. Natural dimples may fade or become less pronounced with age, which is why they are often linked to youthfulness.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Dimpleplasty?
Opting for Dimpleplasty depends on your individual facial structure, visual aspirations, and desire for dimples.
You may be a good candidate for facial cosmetic surgery if:
- You want to have natural-looking dimples to enhance your smile and facial appeal.
- You are in overall good health and do not have any conditions that could impact healing.
- You understand the procedure and the recovery process.
- You have realistic expectations about the outcome.
This procedure is ideal for both men and women with all skin types. Dr. David Shokrian evaluates your facial anatomy, cheek structure, and muscle placement to determine if a Dimpleplasty is a suitable option for you.
However, because this surgery is performed inside the mouth, certain factors may increase the risk of complications.
They include:
- Active oral infections
- A history of previous dental or facial surgery
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Bleeding or blood-clotting disorders
Dr. Shokrian understands that seeking dimples is a personal choice influenced by your desire to have a captivating smile. He only recommends Dimpleplasty if it is medically appropriate for you and the procedure can be performed safely.

What Happens During a Dimpleplasty Consultation?
Your Dimpleplasty begins with a detailed consultation with one of our surgeons, Dr. Shokrian or Dr. Elfar. They evaluate your medical and dental history and review current medications to determine whether you are a good candidate for this treatment.
They will ask you questions such as why you want to have dimples and how you feel they would improve your appearance. Understanding your motivation helps them tailor the procedure to achieve results that align with your aesthetic goals.
Our surgeons also conduct a thorough facial examination to assess your cheek anatomy, muscle movement, and smile dynamics. They demonstrate the ideal placement, length, and depth of your proposed dimple. It will give you an opportunity to see and understand where they would naturally appear, just as if you had been born with them.
This consultation sets realistic expectations for your outcomes and prepares you for a smooth and successful procedure.
Dimpleplasty methods
Dimpleplasty is typically performed using non-invasive techniques to create permanent dimples without leaving visible scars. The goal of this surgery is to replicate the natural appearance of a connection between a muscle within the mouth and the skin of the cheek, to produce dimples that appear completely natural when you smile.
Some popular Dimpleplasty methods are:
- Stitch (suture) method
It is the most commonly used method. Your surgeon will make a small incision inside the cheek and place a stitch between the inner cheek tissue and the underside of the skin. The stitch catches the skin behind the cheek, forming a dimple. - Tissue excision method
A small piece of cheek muscle and tissue is removed before placing a stitch. It leads to a more defined or deeper dimple and lasting results. - Chin dimple method
For patients who want a chin dimple, a vertical indentation in the center of the chin is created by reshaping soft tissue.
Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your facial structure, cheek thickness, and aesthetic goals. They ensure you get these wonderful dimples that complement your features.

What Happens during a Dimpleplasty?
The procedure typically includes the following steps:
- Local anesthesia – Your cheek area will be numbed with local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and safe throughout the procedure.
- Precise marking – Your surgeon will carefully mark the precise location for creating dimples, based on your facial structure and smile dynamics.
- Internal incision – A tiny incision is made inside your cheek.
- Tissue adjustment – A small amount of tissue is adjusted or removed to create natural-looking indentations. A stitch is placed between the inner cheek tissue and the underside of the skin to form the simple.
- Incision closure – The incisions are closed with absorbable or dissolvable sutures for proper healing. The dimples created during this procedure are permanent.
Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that typically takes about 20–30 minutes. It is
performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day, once your medical team has checked that you are comfortable and ready for discharge.
Recovering from Dimpleplasty
Recovery from Dimpleplasty is short, with minimal downtime. Most patients return to their normal daily activities within a few days. Mild swelling and bruising are common and subside within two weeks. Some pain and discomfort are expected, which can be managed with prescribed medications.
Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on the types of food you can eat and the right food temperature to help the internal incisions heal properly. They will prescribe antibiotics and antibacterial mouthwash to maintain good oral hygiene and reduce the risk of infection. However, the final appearance of your dimples will gradually refine over the following several weeks as swelling decreases.
Initially, dimples may be visible even when you are not smiling. It is also normal for the depth of the dimples to vary during the first few months as healing progresses.
Most patients are able to return to work a couple of days after surgery, depending on their job responsibilities and recovery process. Since the procedure is performed entirely inside the mouth, there are no visible external incisions or stitches on the outside, other than the dimple depression.
Be gentle around the treated area when washing your face or brushing your teeth to avoid unnecessary pressure during this time. Avoid strenuous activities for about two weeks to support timely recovery and optimal results.
It may take several weeks to reach full healing and final outcomes. You will notice your dimples softening and becoming more apparent when you smile.
Is It Possible to Combine Dimpleplasty With Other Facial Enhancements?
Dimpleplasty can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to further enhance your features and achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. By addressing multiple areas together, you can enjoy balanced, harmonious results as part of an overall makeover.
