Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon
Dimples are considered a symbol of beauty and charm in many cultures. For those who aren’t naturally born with them, dimple creation surgery (also known as dimpleplasty) offers a safe and simple solution. Dr Chacko Cyriac offers expertly performed dimple surgeries in Kochi using advanced techniques for natural-looking results.
What is dimple surgery ?
Dimple surgery is a minor cosmetic procedure performed under local anesthesia to create permanent dimples on the cheeks or chin. It involves a small incision inside the mouth and does not leave visible external scars.
How is dimple surgery done ?
Performed under local anesthesia
Takes around 20 to 30 minutes
A small defect is created in the cheek muscle (buccinator)
The skin is then stitched to the muscle to simulate a natural dimple
There is no visible cut or scar on the outside, making it a discreet and low-downtime procedure.
Who is a good candidate for dimpleplasty ?
You may be a good candidate if you:
Desire natural-looking dimples
Have healthy skin and tissue tone
Prefer a quick, outpatient procedure
Are looking for minimal recovery time
During your consultation, we assess your cheek anatomy and customize the dimple placement to match your facial expressions.
Is dimple surgery permanent ?
In most cases, yes. Initially, the dimple will be visible even without smiling. Over a few weeks, as healing occurs, the dimple becomes more dynamic and visible mostly when smiling—mimicking natural dimples.
Recovery after dimple creation surgery
Mild swelling and bruising for 2–3 days
Most patients return to work within 24–48 hours
Oral hygiene is important during the first week
No visible scars or stitches on the skin
We will provide you with clear post-procedure care instructions for the best healing.
Risks and complications of dimple surgery
While generally very safe, possible risks include:
Minor infection or swelling
Asymmetry (rare with proper planning)
Over- or under-correction of dimple depth
These risks are extremely low when the procedure is done by a trained plastic surgeon.
Why choose a plastic surgeon for dimple creation ?
Dimpleplasty may be a small procedure—but it needs precise technique and artistic judgment. As a qualified plastic surgeon, I ensure proper evaluation of facial musculature, customized placement, and a natural aesthetic outcome.
