Procedure of Dimple Creation

Dimple Creation Surgery Procedure

The dimple creation procedure in Delhi is a short, minimally invasive surgery that recreates the way natural dimples form when a muscle pulls the skin inward during a smile.

Here you can understand the dimpleplasty procedure step by step to make an informed decision.

Planning Dimple Position and Depth

During consultation, Dr Rajat Gupta:

  • Studies your smile, cheek fullness, and facial symmetry
  • Marks possible dimple points while you smile and at rest
  • Discusses whether you want one dimple or two, and if you prefer cheek or chin dimples

This planning stage ensures that the final dimple looks natural and matches your expressions.

Dimple Creation Surgery Procedure

Anaesthesia and Preparation

The dimpleplasty procedure step by step is performed under local anaesthesia.

  • A numbing injection is given inside the cheek or near the chin area
  • You remain awake but feel no pain
  • The skin is cleaned, and the internal mucosa is prepared

Step by Step: How Dimple Surgery Is Done

Once the area is numb, the cosmetic dimple surgery process begins:

  1. Internal Incision: A tiny incision, about 5 mm, is made on the inside of the cheek or chin. There are no external cuts.
  2. Creating the Pocket: A small pocket is created in the soft tissue by gently removing a tiny amount of fat or muscle to allow a natural inward pull.
  3. Suture Placement: A dissolvable stitch is passed from the inner side to the skin surface and back, anchoring the skin to the underlying muscle.
  4. Knot and Shape: The suture is tied with just enough tension to create a visible indentation. This forms the basis of the new dimple.

The same dimple creation procedure in Delhi can be repeated on the other side if bilateral dimples are planned. Total time is usually 30 to 45 minutes.

Immediately After Dimple Surgery

Right after dimpleplasty this is how your dimple surgery day experience looks like:

  • The dimple appears even when you are not smiling; this is temporary
  • Mild swelling or tightness is common for a few days
  • You will be asked to use an antiseptic mouthwash and follow a soft diet for 3 to 5 days

Pain is minimal and usually feels like mild soreness inside the cheek.

Healing and Final Appearance of the Dimple

In the first 1 to 2 weeks, the stitched area heals and a permanent attachment forms between the skin and muscle.

  • Initially, the dimple is visible at rest
  • Over 3 to 4 weeks, it becomes more natural and appears mainly when you smile
  • The internal suture dissolves on its own

The permanent dimple creation in Delhi NCR is designed so that the result blends into your smile pattern, giving a natural, charming effect rather than an artificial depression.
