A Dimple is a small natural indentation in the flesh on a part of the human body, most notably in the cheek or on the chin. Dimples may appear and disappear over an extended period of time.They are caused by underlying muscles, that form on some people’s cheeks, especially when they smile.

Dimples are often regarded as an object of beauty, which can enhance a smile and general facial appearance but many people are not born with them. A natural dimple is usually formed when there is a small defect in the cheek musculature. The skin overlying this small defect is stuck down to the underlying connective tissue and creates a dimple in the skin with facial animation (smiling).

For those people that wish to have permanent dimples as part of their appearance, dimple creation surgery is an option. For the rest of us owing to developments in science and surgery, it is now possible to surgically create permanent dimples, and the surgical procedure to create dimples is very simple and straightforward when done properly.

 The procedure involves simulating the natural way a dimple is formed, by forming a connection between the skin and the cheek muscle, such that when the muscle contracts, it pulls the skin inwards to form a dimple.
