If you have always wanted to dimple when you smile but do not have a natural dimple, there is a simple cosmetic surgery that can easily remedy the situation.
Dimple creation is a minor cosmetic surgery procedure that involves making a small depression in the cheek to create a dimple. It is done purely for aesthetic reasons.
The procedure for creating a dimple is performed under a local or general anesthesia. Using a punch biopsy method a circular core of the inner cheek is removed while keeping the skin intact to create a small, shallow cylindrical shaped defect. This defect or depression is closed by suturing through one side of the cheek muscle, a dermis layer and then the cheek muscle on the other side of the depression. The entire procedure takes around 30 to 60 minutes.
