Dimple Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Are you drawn to the irresistible charm that dimples add to a person’s smile? Dimple surgery—also known as dimpleplasty—is a simple, safe cosmetic procedure that creates natural-looking dimples on the cheeks or chin. In Korea, where facial aesthetics are approached with precision and subtlety, dimple surgery has become a popular option for those seeking to enhance their smile and facial expressions.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we offer expertly performed dimple surgery that’s customized to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether you want cute, youthful cheek dimples or a subtle chin indentation, our specialists can help you achieve an authentic, balanced look with minimal downtime.
Why Choose Dimple Surgery?
Dimple surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Have always wanted dimples but were not born with them
- Want to enhance facial charm and expressiveness
- Prefer a subtle facial enhancement without invasive surgery
- Seek a permanent solution to improve smile aesthetics
- Desire a youthful or playful appearance with minimal change to facial structure
Dimples are considered a sign of attractiveness and friendliness in many cultures, and this minor procedure can enhance facial appeal without altering your overall look.
Types of Dimples You Can Create
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we tailor the dimple shape and placement based on your preferences, facial proportions, and natural muscle movement.
Popular Dimple Styles Include:
1. Cheek Dimples (Single or Both Sides):
- Most requested, placed at the natural indentation line when you smile
- Can be small and subtle or deep and defined depending on your preference
2. Chin Dimples (Cleft Chin):
- A vertical or round indentation in the center of the chin
- Suitable for those seeking a stronger or more defined lower facial feature
Our goal is to place dimples in harmony with your natural smile lines and muscle movement for the most authentic effect.
How Dimple Surgery Works
Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes 20–30 minutes and is done under local anesthesia.
Procedure Overview:
- Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is administered inside the mouth or cheek to ensure comfort.
- Incision and Suture Placement: A small incision is made inside the cheek (no external scars), and a dissolvable suture is used to create an adhesion between the inner cheek and the skin surface.
- Dimple Formation: The suture pulls the skin inward, forming a dimple that becomes more natural over time as the tissue heals.
- Closure: No stitches are visible outside, and you can leave the clinic shortly after the procedure.
There is no cutting of external skin or need for general anesthesia.
Consultation and Planning
Before surgery, a detailed consultation is essential to determine the ideal size, depth, and position of your dimples. At our Seoul clinic, we assess your facial structure, smile dynamics, and personal aesthetic goals.
During your consultation, we will:
- Evaluate muscle movement and cheek anatomy
- Recommend the ideal location based on your facial proportions
- Discuss desired appearance—subtle, defined, playful, or deep
- Explain the healing process and what to expect during each stage
- Ensure you’re a good candidate (non-smokers and those with good oral hygiene are ideal)
We use simulations or marking techniques to show how the dimples will look when you smile.
Recovery and Aftercare
Dimple surgery involves little to no downtime, making it a convenient choice for people with busy schedules.
Recovery Timeline:
- Day 1–3: Mild swelling, bruising, or soreness inside the cheek; soft food is recommended
- Week 1: Initial dimples may appear deep or visible even when not smiling—this is normal
- Weeks 2–4: The dimples soften and become visible primarily when smiling
- Months 1–3: Final results settle in with a natural, permanent indentation when you smile
We’ll provide oral care instructions and follow-up support to ensure optimal healing.
