Dimples are often associated with an attractive and youthful smile. If you were not born with natural dimples but would like to enhance your facial appearance, Dimple Creation Surgery (Dimpleplasty) is a simple and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that creates permanent or long-lasting dimples on one or both cheeks.
At our clinic in Bhubaneswar, we perform customized dimple creation procedures designed to produce subtle, natural-looking results that complement your facial expressions and smile.
Dimple Creation Surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, is a minor cosmetic procedure that creates a small indentation in the cheek by forming a connection between the inner cheek muscle and the skin. This attachment produces a visible dimple, especially when smiling.
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, leaves no visible external scar, and requires minimal downtime.
