Dimpleplasty
Dimpleplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that artificially creates an adhesion between the dermis and the smile muscle in a specific area to form dimples. The surgical principle of dimpleplasty is to manually adhere the skin at the dimple site to the muscle underneath.
Methods of Dimpleplasty
There are many methods for dimpleplasty, all relatively simple and usually performed inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars on the skin. The commonly used methods include suture method, thread embedding method, and incision-thread embedding method.
1. Suture Method: Also known as the thread method, it involves directly suturing the cheek skin at the dimple location with silk thread to connect the muscle and dermis, forming a depression. This method is simple and does not require an incision, but the results are not guaranteed, and the formed dimples may disappear easily.
2. Introduction Method: This method is even simpler and faster, typically taking only a few minutes to complete a pair of dimples, but the long-term effects are uncertain.
3. Incision Method: An incision about 2 cm long is made vertically on the buccal mucosa inside the mouth. After separating the mucosa and muscle and removing a small amount of muscle and fat tissue, part of the muscle and dermis are sutured together inside the incision, creating a shallow depression on the corresponding skin. Then the mucosa is sutured. This method is more complex to perform, but the results are definite, making it the most commonly used method.
4. Subcutaneous Ligation Method: A short line of 3-5mm is drawn at the designated facial point. A 3mm arc-shaped small incision is made on the oral mucosa corresponding to the designated point, with its long axis parallel to the nasolabial groove. A straight needle with No. 5 silk thread is inserted from the upper end of the small incision on the oral buccal mucosa, emerging from the upper end of the designated line on the cheek skin. It then re-enters the skin from the second puncture point and finally emerges from the lower end of the small incision on the oral buccal mucosa. Pulling the thread causes a depression to appear at the designated point on the cheek skin. Tighten the knot gradually while observing the size, depth, and shape of the artificial dimple, adjusting appropriately until satisfied. The subcutaneous ligation method is not suitable for patients with excessive cheek fat.
5. Oral Incision Method: An 8mm horizontal small incision is made on the oral mucosa at the position corresponding to the designated point outside the mouth. After exposing the cheek muscle fibers through the small incision, the muscle fibers are clamped out and cut off. The oral buccal mucosa is sutured with the subdermal layer of the designated point on the cheek, allowing the appearance of the artificial dimple after formation to be seen.
Contraindications for Dimpleplasty

Dimples are a symbol of beauty for women, and naturally, many women seek to recreate dimples to enhance their charm. With the development of cosmetic plastic surgery, the technology for dimple formation has become very mature, and the formed dimples are now almost indistinguishable from natural ones.
