Dimple aesthetics (dimpleplasty) is a minor surgical procedure that creates dimples in the cheeks, chin, or lower back (also known as Venus dimples). Dimples are seen as attractive facial and body features that add youthfulness, personality, and definition. Thanks to modern techniques, dimples can be safely created—or removed—based on personal preference.
This technique is popular among both women and men who desire a V-shaped, more contoured facial look.
To enhance facial expressions and smile aesthetics
To add symmetry if natural dimples are present on one side only
To personalize appearance with natural-looking facial features
To define the lower back and hips with Venus dimples
To remove undesired dimples (via reverse dimpleplasty)
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
Are over 18 and in good general health
Do not smoke (or are willing to quit temporarily)
Have realistic expectations
Want a subtle but permanent facial or body enhancement
One or both cheeks
Chin dimple (cleft chin style)
Dynamic dimples: visible only when smiling
Static dimples: visible even at rest
For patients who were born with natural dimples or have had dimpleplasty and later changed their mind, reverse dimple aesthetics can remove or soften unwanted dimples.
Note: Early-stage dimples are easier to reverse. Permanent dimples may require minor revision surgery.
Venus dimples (also called “back dimples” or “Apollo dimples” in men) are small indentations that appear on the lower back, just above the buttocks. They are often associated with youth, fitness, and sensuality.

Yes. Dimples are carefully placed based on your facial anatomy and smile line. They soften and become more natural as they heal.
Yes, for most patients. However, early-stage dimples may still be reversible. Once full healing occurs, the dimple is typically permanent unless surgically reversed.
No visible scar. Facial dimples are created from inside the mouth. Venus dimples have tiny incisions hidden in the lower back crease.
No. Local anesthesia is used. You may feel mild swelling or pressure afterward, but pain is minimal.
Absolutely. Many male patients request chin dimples, back dimples (Apollo dimples), or symmetry adjustments.
Yes, during your consultation, the surgeon can adjust the depth and visibility to match your aesthetic goals—whether subtle or pronounced.
Yes. This is called a dynamic dimple and is the most commonly requested option.
Yes. A dimple can be softened or fully reversed through a small in-office revision, especially if treated early in the healing process.
Not necessarily. Skilled contouring can create attractive back dimples in a range of body types. It is often combined with waist shaping or BBL procedures for best results.
Yes. Dimpleplasty is often combined with lip lift, chin filler, BBL, or jawline contouring for overall facial or body harmony.
