Creating dimples surgically
I dont know many surgeons who do this simply because the results are often not natural looking and there are potential complications (facial nerve injury).

How Can I Get Dimples?
I agree aesthetically that dimples are a nice touch however, creating them surgically leave a fake, "done" look. IMHO, it's better to follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face in other manners.

I would not suggest having surgery to create dimples. It will not look natural.
