Dimpleplasty in St. Petersburg, FL
What Is Dimpleplasty?
Dimpleplasty, or dimple creation surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that forms natural-looking dimples on the cheeks or chin. A small incision inside the cheek creates a tiny muscle defect, causing the skin to indent when you smile. Performed under local anesthesia in about 30 minutes, this outpatient procedure uses internal incisions, leaving no visible scars. The result is a defined, engaging smile that enhances your facial aesthetics and complements your unique look.
