Dimple Creation Surgery (Dimpleplasty)

A charming dimple can add a unique, youthful, and attractive quality to a smile. While many are born with them, those who are not can now achieve this desirable feature through a simple and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure known as Dimpleplasty. At our clinic in Antalya, our skilled surgeons can artfully create natural-looking dimples to enhance your facial aesthetics and give you the smile you've always wanted.

A Simple Procedure for a Charming Result

Dimple creation is a straightforward procedure performed comfortably under local anaesthesia, typically taking less than an hour to complete. The entire surgery is conducted from inside the mouth, meaning there are absolutely no external incisions or visible scars on your cheeks.

Our surgeon makes a small, discreet incision on the inner cheek lining and then creates a connection between the skin and the underlying cheek muscle (the buccinator muscle). This is achieved with a dissolvable suture. When this internal suture heals, it forms a permanent adhesion, which creates the indentation in the skin that we see as a dimple when you smile.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery from dimpleplasty is quick, making it an ideal procedure for our international patients.

• Initial Healing: You can expect mild swelling for the first 3 to 7 days.

• Initial Appearance: For the first few weeks, the new dimple will be "static," meaning it will be present even when you're not smiling. This is a normal and expected part of the healing process.

• Final, Natural Look: As the internal tissues fully heal and settle over a few weeks to months, the dimple will become "dynamic." It will soften and appear naturally only when you smile, perfectly mimicking the look of a congenital dimple.

Key Benefits of Dimple Creation:

• Enhanced Facial Aesthetics: Adds a point of interest and charm to your smile.

• Natural-Looking & Permanent: The procedure is designed to create a lasting dimple that appears dynamic and natural with facial expressions.

• Minimally Invasive with Quick Recovery: A short procedure with minimal downtime, allowing you to enjoy your results quickly.
