Understanding Dimpleplasty
What Is Dimple Creation Surgery?
Cheek dimples are often regarded as a sign of charm and attractiveness, enhancing facial beauty and expressions. While some people are born with dimples, others can explore cosmetic procedures to create them. Dimples may appear on one or both cheeks and can be desired by people of any gender. Their natural formation is associated with variations in facial muscle anatomy, particularly the zygomaticus major.
These anatomical variations can create a tethering effect between the skin and underlying tissue, producing a dimple when smiling. Dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, uses a small internal incision to create this effect. The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia and often takes less than an hour. At Aakar Aesthetics, Nashik, Dr. Kiran Nerkar assesses facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to plan an individualised treatment. Results and recovery vary from person to person.

Your Treatment Journey
How Dimple Creation Surgery Works
Dimpleplasty is a relatively small day-care procedure planned according to your facial anatomy and desired dimple position.
Performed as a day-care procedure under local anaesthesia; you go home within about an hour.
The dimple position is marked with you in front of a mirror, or by Dr. Nerkar using facial landmarks if you're undecided.
A tiny internal incision is made inside the mouth — no marks on the outer cheek skin.
A dissolvable suture creates a small tether between the inner cheek muscle and the skin, forming the dimple.
Internal sutures are removed after about a week.
After Surgery
What to Expect After Dimpleplasty
Initially, the dimple may be visible even at rest ("static"), which can look slightly unnatural during the first couple of weeks.
As healing progresses, the tethering settles so the dimple becomes less noticeable at rest and appears more naturally when you smile or talk — the appearance most patients want.
After Your Procedure
Dimpleplasty Recovery Timeline
Recovery is generally short because dimpleplasty is a relatively small procedure. Some swelling and soreness are expected during the first few days.
Follow your surgeon's instructions about oral hygiene, diet, medication, activity and follow-up care.
Same Day
Return home after roughly an hour. Mild cheek swelling is expected.
Day 1–3
A soft diet and mouthwash rinses are generally recommended. Cold packs can help reduce swelling.
Day 2–3
Most patients can resume work or school, depending on their comfort and swelling.
Week 1
Internal sutures are reviewed and removed at the follow-up appointment when appropriate.
Week 2–4
The dimple gradually settles into a more natural animation-only appearance, becoming less visible at rest.
Important Considerations
Risks & Limitations
Dimpleplasty is generally considered a low-risk cosmetic procedure, but as with any surgery, there are potential limitations and complications.
Temporary swelling or soreness
Mild internal scarring
Possible asymmetry between the cheeks
A dimple that looks more prominent at rest during early healing
An unsatisfactory final appearance, although uncommon
Reversal can be difficult if you later change your mind
Because reversal can be difficult, it is important to be certain about wanting dimples and their chosen position before proceeding. Dr. Kiran Nerkar will discuss the expected result and placement during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dimple Creation FAQs
Answers to common questions about dimpleplasty, recovery, dimple placement and results.
Yes, in most cases the dimple effect is permanent, though reversal is difficult and is not always fully successful. The decision and dimple placement should therefore be considered carefully before surgery.
