Dimples are more than just cute little indentations on the cheeks—they’re symbols of charm, beauty, and youthfulness. If you’ve always admired celebrities like Alia Bhatt or Shah Rukh Khan for their dimples and wondered how to get the perfect dimples for yourself, you’re not alone. Thanks to modern cosmetic advancements, dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, offers a safe and effective solution for anyone wanting to enhance their smile.
Dr. Amiti Shah, a leading cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Mumbai, specializes in dimple creation surgery, helping people achieve their desired facial aesthetics with precision and care.
Dimples are caused by a natural variation in the facial muscle known as the zygomaticus major. This minor defect causes the overlying skin to draw inward when smiling, forming an attractive indentation. Though often hereditary, dimples can now be created surgically for those who weren’t born with them.
Why do people want dimples? The reason is simple: they make the face appear youthful, friendly, and photogenic. They add a touch of charm that’s hard to ignore.
Dimple creation surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that can be done under local anesthesia. Dr. Amiti Shah performs this procedure by making a small incision inside the mouth, removing a tiny portion of the cheek muscle, and using a dissolvable suture to create a dimple. Since the incision is made internally, there are no visible scars.
One of the most important aspects of the procedure is choosing the exact spot where the dimple should appear. Dr. Shah uses facial anatomy, symmetry, and your preferences to pinpoint the most aesthetically pleasing location. Whether you want one dimple or two, symmetrical or offset, the decision is completely personalized.
