Dimpleplasty - would it look weird or bad if I got it done in the same place over them to deepen them ?

Question

I was born with dimples, they were very noticeable when I was a child now that I'm older they aren't as deep ... would it look weird or bad if I got it done in the same place over them to deepen them ???

Yes. You can have dimpleplasty to enhance existing dimples. This procedure involves a small incision inside the mouth. The dimples are re-created with a temporary suture to tack the skin of the dimple to the underlying muscles. Patients are typically very happy with the results. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Great question!  You can certainly enhance your natural dimples by using your existing dimple.  A stitch is placed inside your cheek. When its tied it causes a dimple to appear on the outside of your cheek.  Results are exaggerated at first before softening in a natural appearing dimple. In experienced hands you should achieve a lovely result.

Deeper cheek dimples can be made from existing smaller ones through an intraoral technique. If you already have dome dimpling, deeper ones are not likely to look unusual.
