Dimple creation (dimpleplasty) is a quick procedure that adds natural-looking dimples to your cheeks. Korean clinics offer refined techniques for this charming enhancement.

What Is Dimpleplasty?

A minor surgical procedure that creates a small depression in the cheek, mimicking natural dimples that appear when smiling.

The Procedure

Process

  1. Local anesthesia applied
  2. Small incision inside mouth
  3. Tissue removed to create indent
  4. Suture placed connecting skin to muscle
  5. Procedure takes 20-30 minutes

Customization

  • Dimple position (cheek, chin)
  • Depth of dimple
  • Size and shape
  • One or both cheeks

Recovery

  • Minimal downtime
  • Mild swelling: 2-3 days
  • Return to work: Next day possible
  • Dimple visible even when not smiling initially
  • Natural movement: 2-4 weeks

Results

What to Expect

  • Initially dimple shows at all times
  • Gradually becomes dynamic (shows when smiling)
  • Natural appearance after healing
  • Permanent results

Korean Approach

Korean surgeons focus on natural placement that suits Asian facial structure. The goal is subtle charm, not obvious modification.

Considerations

  • Permanent procedure
  • Results cannot be perfectly predicted
  • Minor asymmetry possible
  • Infection risk minimal but exists

Cost

Typically $500-1,500 depending on clinic and whether one or both cheeks.
