WHAT IS DIMPLE CREATION (ONE SIDE) – DIMPLEPLASTY (DAY CASE)?

Dimple creation, also known as dimpleplasty, is a minor cosmetic surgical procedure designed to create a natural-looking dimple on one side of the face. The treatment enhances facial aesthetics by adding a subtle indentation that becomes more visible when smiling, creating a charming and attractive facial feature. The procedure is minimally invasive and is typically performed as a day case, allowing patients to return home shortly after treatment. At London Harley Street Clinics, our specialists perform precise dimple creation techniques to ensure natural-looking and symmetrical facial results tailored to each patient.

Treatment Process

Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthesia and usually takes 20–40 minutes. It includes:

Your facial anatomy and smile dynamics are assessed to determine the ideal dimple position for natural results.

 

Local anaesthesia is used to ensure a comfortable, pain-free procedure.

A small incision is made inside the mouth, and a controlled suture is placed to create a natural indentation in the cheek muscle, forming the dimple.

No external stitches are required, as the procedure is performed from inside the mouth.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.
