Dimples, also known as dimples or smiles. About 15% of orientals are born with dimples. Most people's dimples appear on the cheeks, followed by the corners of the mouth. Buccal fossa is regarded as one of the important embellishments of beauty by oriental women.

Buccal fossa is a round or oval skin depression formed on the outside of the corner of the mouth due to the movement of the expression muscle (smiling muscle), which is formed by connecting the fascia of smiling muscle with the punctate fibrous band of the lower dermis on the outside of the corner of the mouth.

Because dimples can add a little beauty and charm, many women wish they had dimples. Now these people's desires can be satisfied by surgical reconstruction of dimples. Because the dimple forming technology is very mature, artificial dimples can be confused with real dimples.

The so-called dimple plasty is actually to artificially form the adhesion between dermis and smiley muscle in a specific part of the face through surgery, thus forming dimples. This kind of operation is especially suitable for people with plump cheeks. The embellishment of two dimples can make their appearance sweeter, but it is not suitable for people with thin cheeks, especially those with "inverted triangle" faces. Because of the dimples, the whole face will look very uncoordinated.

The premise of dimple reconstruction is to determine its position. The method of fixing dimples is simple. Draw a horizontal line from the corner of your mouth and a vertical line from the corner of your eye. The intersection of two lines or a position slightly higher than the intersection is the fixed point of the dent. You can also use a toothpick to press the skin on your cheek to find out the best position of dimples.

There are many methods of dimple shaping, all of which are very simple. It is usually carried out in the mouth, so there will be no scars. There are five common methods: embedding thread, suturing, embedding thread through incision, injecting hardener and circular incision. Either way, the adhesion between dermis and smiling face muscle is man-made. As for which method to choose, the doctor will choose according to the specific situation and the requirements of the surgeon.

The early dimples after operation are unnatural because of suture and hypertrophic scar, that is, dimples appear with or without facial expression and lack of dynamic aesthetic feeling. Usually it will return to normal after a few weeks. Dimples also appear when facial expression activities, especially smiles, begin.
