A Subtle Yet Striking Enhancement.
A dimple is a naturally occurring indentation in the skin, typically observed on the cheeks during a smile. At Freyea, dimple creation surgery (dimpleplasty) is performed with meticulous attention to your facial anatomy to ensure the newly created dimples look entirely natural and complement your unique smile.

What Dimple Creation Addresses
Desire for cheek dimples to enhance a smile
Desire for a chin dimple (cleft chin) for added character
Asymmetry in existing natural dimples
Fading natural dimples due to aging and volume loss
Enhancing facial proportion and angularity
Adding a dynamic focal point to the lower face
Dynamic vs. Static Depth
The hallmark of a natural dimple is that it is most prominent when you smile and less noticeable or entirely absent when your face is at rest. Our surgical approach is designed specifically to mimic this natural muscular dynamic, avoiding 'static' dimples that look like constant indentations.
Is Dimple Creation Right for You?
Dimpleplasty is a highly customizable and straightforward procedure suitable for most healthy adults.
- You wish to add character to your smile with cheek or chin dimples
- You are in good general health with realistic aesthetic expectations
- You have adequate cheek tissue to support the creation of a natural indentation
- You understand that the dimple may be slightly visible at rest during the initial healing phase
- You desire a permanent facial enhancement without external scarring
The Freyea Signature
We perform dimpleplasty entirely from the inside of the mouth (intraorally), ensuring absolutely no visible scarring on the external skin of your cheeks. The placement is determined by assessing the natural intersection of your facial muscles to guarantee the dimple moves flawlessly with your expressions.
The Treatment Experience
The procedure is swift, comfortably performed under local anaesthesia in our clinic.
Precise Mapping
We work with you to mark the optimal location for the dimples, referencing standard aesthetic points and your personal preference.
Local Anaesthesia
The inside of the cheek is numbed to ensure a completely painless experience.
Intraoral Placement
A tiny incision is made inside the mouth, and a dissolvable suture is used to attach the undersurface of the skin to the specific facial muscle.
Immediate Creation
The dimple is created instantly. The internal incision heals quickly without leaving any visible external marks.
The Anatomy of a Dimple
A natural cheek dimple is often formed by a small defect or split in the buccinator muscle. Dimpleplasty replicates this by surgically tethering the underside of the skin to the deeper facial musculature.
Adjustability and Reversibility
While designed to be permanent, dimpleplasty is partially adjustable in the first few weeks if the placement or depth needs refinement, and it is potentially reversible in the early stages if desired.
Treatment Details
Dimpleplasty is an outpatient procedure with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Anaesthesia
Local Anaesthesia
Duration
30 to 45 Minutes
Recovery
Return to work same-day; mild swelling for 3 to 7 days.
Results
Permanent. Initially present at rest, becoming dynamic (only when smiling) after a few weeks.
What to Expect
Initial Phase (1-2 Weeks)
The dimples will be present even when you are not smiling. Mild swelling and internal soreness are normal.
Weeks 3 to 4
The internal skin tethering softens. The dimple begins to flatten out when your face is relaxed.
Months 2 to 3
The dimples become fully dynamic, appearing naturally and distinctly only when you smile or animate your face.
