Dimple Aesthetics

Procedure Details

What Is Dimple Aesthetics?

Dimple aesthetics is a minor surgical procedure that is designed to create a controlled indentation in the skin by modifying the underlying muscle or fat tissue. The main goal of the procedure is to produce a natural dimple appearance that becomes visible during facial expressions or body movements.

Dimples can be created on the cheeks, chin, or waist, commonly referred to as Venus or waist dimples, depending on patient preference.

How Is Dimple Aesthetics Performed?

Dimple aesthetics procedure is planned based on the patient’s facial or body structure as well as their aesthetic expectations. After marking the desired dimple location, small incisions are made in the targeted area.

In facial dimple aesthetics, a small portion of the muscle tissue is adjusted to form a dimple pit. On the other hand, for waist or hip dimples, subcutaneous fat tissue is thinned in order to create a natural indentation.

Dimple aesthetics procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. Generally, the procedure does not require hospitalization, and the final and natural appearance usually settles within 1 to 3 weeks.
