Dimple Surgery is a cosmetic procedure that creates a small indentation on the cheek – similar to a natural dimple that appears when smiling. A dimple (gelasin) forms when a slight tether connects the skin to the underlying facial muscle, pulling inward during a smile. This surgery replicates the same structure using minimally invasive techniques.
The procedure can be done on one side or both sides, depending on the patient’s preference. Benefits include a more expressive smile, improved facial charm, and a soft, youthful impression. Since no external incisions are made, the procedure leaves no visible scars on the skin surface.

During Dimple Surgery, the doctor at our affiliated clinic creates a small incision inside the mouth, making it a scarless external procedure. A tiny amount of cheek tissue is removed or adjusted, and a suture is used to attach the inner cheek mucosa to the underlying cheek muscle. This creates a natural indentation that appears when smiling.

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia or sleep anesthesia (twilight sedation). Sleep anesthesia requires routine tests such as bloodwork to ensure safety. Patients can request specific sedatives based on personal medical history, and must report any allergies or previous reactions to anesthesia. The sutures used may be regular or dissolvable threads. With dissolvable threads, a follow-up is not usually required. The procedure takes about 2 hours with no hospitalization required.
