ANSWER Dimple Creation
A dimple appears when the cheek muscle and skin adhere, drawing the skin slightly inward on smiling. Dimple creation connects skin and muscle from inside the cheek through the oral mucosa, forming a deliberate adhesion — with no external incision, scar exposure stays minimal. ANSWER Plastic Surgery puts its weight on placing it right for your smile.

CUSTOM DESIGN
Placement designed on your smile
A dimple in the wrong spot can look artificial. ANSWER Plastic Surgery takes the point where your cheek naturally hollows when smiling as the baseline, factoring in the corner-to-eye line and your face shape to design a position and depth that suit you.
- 1Position chosen at the natural adhesion point of your smile
- 2Placement designed to suit your face shape and mouth line
- 3Desired depth and definition tuned in advance
ANSWER POINT
Intraoral approach — no visible scar
The surgery proceeds through a small incision in the oral mucosa, leaving no scar on the facial skin. The dermis and muscle are sutured from inside the cheek to form the adhesion; early on, the dimple may show even at rest, then typically settles into appearing only when you smile.
- 1Intraoral incision leaves no visible scar
- 2A relatively simple 30-minute procedure under local anesthesia
- 3Dissolvable sutures spare you stitch removal
ANSWER Dimple Creation: How It's Done
Consultation & Position Design
Watching your smile, we set and mark the dimple's position and depth together.
Numbing
Local anesthesia at the site eases discomfort.
Adhesion Formation
Through the intraoral incision, an adhesion is created between skin and muscle and fixed.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Oral hygiene guidance is provided while the dimple settles into place.
Frequently Asked Questions
QWill the dimple show even when I'm not smiling?
Early on, the firm adhesion can make the dimple visible at rest; over weeks to months it typically settles into appearing only when you smile. The course varies by individual.
QCould the dimple disappear over time?
Rarely, the adhesion can release and the dimple fade. We monitor your progress and discuss a touch-up procedure if needed.
QCan I eat and brush right away?
Non-irritating foods are fine from the day of surgery, and rinsing after meals keeps the mouth clean. Avoid opening your mouth very wide until the intraoral wound heals, about a week.
