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.
