Dreaming of Darling Dimples?

Sure, Shirley Temple was adorable with her dimples, but would you go under the knife for a pair of newly dimpled cheeks?  Dimpleplasty is a new cosmetic procedure plastic surgeons invented to satisfy the growing popularity of those requesting dimples like actress Jen Garner and Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr.

Dimpleplasty is a one-time, simple procedure that will allow you to have the dimples you’ve been dreaming of.  The procedure involves a tiny incision inside of the cheek to create a small indention.  The doctor uses a dissolvable suture to pull the underside of your cheek to a deeper layer of the skin to create the dimple.   After the suture dissolves, the scar tissue is supposed to hold the dimple permanently in place.

This is a relatively new technique and it is too soon for any long-term studies to prove it’s effectiveness or results.  Over time, the appearance of these man-made dimples may disappear or change as the face looses elasticity and begins to droop. 

It is important to be cautious and do your research when dabbling in new cosmetic surgeries. You’ll want to be sure to put yourself in the good hands of a Board Certified Clastic Surgeon.

Though we do not currently offer “dimpleplasty” at Aesthetic Enhancements, we do offer a variety of other procedures that will be sure to keep you smiling!  Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Armando Soto, performs an array of cosmetic procedures from the Mommy Makeover to a Brazilian Butt Lift that will have you looking and feeling your best!
