Criação cirúrgica de covinhas nas bochechas anexando uma pequena porção do músculo da bochecha à pele interna.
What to expect
Typical milestones for an aesthetic-procedure patient. Your surgeon will personalise the plan during your consultation.
Before surgery
Consultation
Surgeon reviews your photos + the simulator preview, sets realistic expectations, and books the procedure date.
Day 0
Procedure
In-clinic procedure under local or general anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day.
Days 1–7
Early recovery
Swelling and bruising peak around day 3 then start to subside. Most patients work from home this week.
Weeks 2–6
Settling in
Visible swelling resolves; you can return to social commitments + light exercise. Final shape still emerging.
Months 6–12
Final result
Tissues fully settle and the simulated outcome becomes your real face. Follow-up review with your surgeon.

Dimpleplasty creates artificial cheek dimples by suturing a small portion of the buccinator muscle to the inner cheek skin, causing a depression to form when the patient smiles. The procedure is performed entirely through a small incision inside the mouth, leaving no external scars. The depth and position of the dimple are customized at consultation, and patients can preview the proposed dimple location with a marker test.
For the first 4-6 weeks post-procedure, the dimple appears even when the face is at rest (not just when smiling) — this is expected and gradually evolves to a smile-only dimple as the surgical adhesions mature. The procedure is technically simple but requires precision: misplaced dimples are difficult to revise, and over-deep dimples can look unnatural. Particularly popular in South Korea, Thailand, and parts of South Asia where dimples are considered an attractive feature.
