Dimples occur when you smile. They’re often located on the bottoms of the cheeks. Some people may also have chin dimples.

Some cases may be caused by injury and accidents.
Regardless of the causes, dimples are regarded by many cultures as a sign of good luck, beauty, and even fortune. Due to such benefits, dimple surgery has increased significantly in recent years.
A dimpleplasty or dimple creation surgery is a plastic surgery performed to create dimples on the cheeks.

Once the surgeon creates the space for the dimple, they position a suture from the inner to the outer side. Finally, the sling is tied to set the dimple remains permanently.
