Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Dimple creation surgery, or dimpleplasty, aims to replicate natural facial indentations.
  • Approximately 30% of the population possesses naturally occurring dimples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence and surgical insights for dimpleplasty.
  • To achieve predictable and natural-looking dimple creation outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and current dimpleplasty techniques, focusing on refinements since 1962.
  • Emphasis on precise dermomuscular fixation and smaller incisions.
  • Discussion of anatomical considerations for safe surgical practice.

Main Results:

  • A 5-mm intraoral incision with selective muscle fenestration and dermomuscular plication yields an immediate dimple.
  • The dimple softens and appears more natural as healing progresses.
  • AI-assisted 3D smile simulation is under development to enhance precision.

Conclusions:

  • Dimpleplasty, when performed with surgical precision and careful patient selection, is a low-risk procedure.
  • High patient satisfaction is achievable with techniques prioritizing natural outcomes.
  • Consideration for patients with keloid tendencies is advised.
