What is Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty is a cosmetic procedure that creates natural-looking dimples on the cheeks through a small incision made inside the mouth. Dimples are often seen as a sign of beauty and charm, and some individuals are born without them or may wish to enhance their facial aesthetics with added definition. At the Center for Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery in Atlanta, GA, board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Fara Movagharnia performs dimpleplasty to help patients achieve this subtle yet eye-catching facial feature. The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia and offers a relatively quick recovery with long-lasting results. It’s a popular choice for individuals seeking a unique enhancement that complements their smile. Whether you desire one dimple or two, the results can be tailored to fit your natural facial balance and goals.

Am I A Candidate for Dimpleplasty?
If you’ve always admired the look of dimples and are looking for a safe and effective way to enhance your smile, dimpleplasty in Atlanta, GA may be right for you. Ideal candidates for this procedure typically include:

How Does Dimpleplasty Work?
Dimpleplasty is performed using a small incision inside the cheek, which leaves no visible scarring on the outside of the face. During the procedure, Dr. Movagharnia creates a controlled defect in the buccinator muscle and attaches it to the skin to form a dimple. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes and is done under local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake and comfortable. The initial dimples may appear more pronounced but will gradually settle into a more natural look over time.
What Can I Expect After Dimpleplasty?
Recovery after dimpleplasty is typically straightforward, with minimal downtime required. Most patients can return to work or daily activities within a day or two. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. The final dimple shape will take a few weeks to form fully as the tissues heal and adjust. Dr. Movagharnia will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and aesthetic results.
