Our CQC-registered practice uses premium products and follows strict UK safety protocols, ensuring your dimple creation procedure meets the highest clinical standards.

Dimple creation is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that surgically creates natural-looking dimples on the cheeks. This facial aesthetic treatment involves making a small incision inside the mouth to create a controlled connection between the cheek muscle and skin, forming a permanent dimple that appears when you smile. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Results are immediate. No external scarring occurs since the technique works entirely from inside the mouth.
Patients typically consider dimple creation when they desire enhanced facial charm and a more youthful, playful appearance. Some people are born with natural dimples due to a small gap in their cheek muscle called the buccinator. Others want to add this attractive facial feature later in life. The treatment suits adults with good overall health who have realistic expectations about the outcome.
At London Dental Specialists in Central London, our facial aesthetics expertise combines dental precision with cosmetic artistry. Dr Ope Sodeinde and our team understand the intricate relationship between facial anatomy and aesthetic enhancement. We create dimples that complement your natural facial structure and smile. The procedure requires careful placement to ensure the dimple appears in the most flattering position for your unique face shape.
Recovery involves minimal downtime with some initial swelling that subsides within a few days. The newly created dimples may appear more pronounced initially but settle into a natural appearance within weeks. Unlike temporary cosmetic treatments, dimple creation provides permanent results that enhance your smile for life.

At London Dental Specialists, our dimple creation approach combines meticulous facial assessment with refined injection artistry. We begin with comprehensive facial analysis, examining your natural smile dynamics and facial proportions using Golden Ratio principles to determine optimal dimple placement. Our technique involves precise micro-injections of dermal fillers into specific facial muscles that control your smile expression. This creates a gentle depression that mimics natural dimple formation.
Our methodological approach prioritises subtlety. We use ultra-fine cannulas rather than traditional needles, reducing tissue trauma whilst allowing for more controlled placement. The injection technique involves creating a small tether between the skin and underlying muscle, which activates naturally when you smile. We work in layers, building the dimple gradually to ensure it appears authentic and proportionate to your facial structure.
What sets our technique apart is our commitment to asymmetrical perfection—natural dimples are rarely identical, so we carefully craft each dimple to complement your unique facial geometry. We assess how light falls across your cheeks and consider your existing facial expressions to ensure the dimples enhance rather than compete with your natural features. Our practitioners use advanced assessment methods, including dynamic facial mapping, to observe how your face moves during different expressions.
The artistry lies in restraint. We create dimples that appear only when you smile genuinely, disappearing when your face is at rest—just like nature intended. Our precision injection techniques ensure the results look effortlessly natural, as though you were simply born with these charming facial features. Each treatment is tailored to your individual anatomy, creating dimples that feel authentically yours.

This minimally invasive technique typically takes 30-45 minutes and creates permanent results that become more refined as healing progresses. The procedure works by creating a small connection between the skin and underlying muscle, producing that coveted dimpled effect.
Located at 111 Regent's Park Road, our practice combines facial aesthetics with comprehensive dental care under one roof.

Dimple creation is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that creates natural-looking dimples on your cheeks. The treatment involves making a small connection between the cheek muscle and the overlying skin, mimicking the natural anatomy that creates dimples from birth. We use precise techniques to ensure your new dimples appear when you smile, just like natural ones. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes per dimple. Most patients find the process comfortable with local anaesthetic. Results are immediate and permanent, giving you that charming dimpled smile you've always wanted.
Dimple creation is considered a safe procedure when performed by qualified practitioners. The treatment carries minimal risks. Some patients experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days following the procedure. Temporary bruising may occur but typically resolves within a week. Very rarely, patients might experience temporary numbness in the treated area. At London Dental Specialists, we prioritise your safety through thorough consultation and sterile technique. We'll discuss your medical history to ensure you're a suitable candidate. Our experienced team follows strict safety protocols to minimise any potential complications.
Recovery from dimple creation is remarkably quick. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. You'll notice your new dimples immediately after the procedure. Initially, the dimples may appear more pronounced due to mild swelling. This settles within the first week. During the first few weeks, your dimples might be visible even when you're not smiling. This is completely normal. After about four to six weeks, your dimples will behave naturally, appearing only when you smile or laugh. The healing process is generally comfortable, and most patients are delighted with their results from day one.
Absolutely! Natural appearance is our priority when creating dimples. During your consultation, we'll carefully assess your facial anatomy and discuss your desired dimple placement. We consider factors like your cheek structure, smile pattern, and facial proportions. Most patients prefer dimples positioned along the natural smile line for the most authentic look. We can create single or double dimples depending on your preference. The size and depth can also be customised to complement your features. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty with dimples that look like you were born with them.
Ideal candidates for dimple creation are adults in good general health who desire permanent facial dimples. You should have realistic expectations about the procedure and results. Good candidates typically have adequate cheek tissue and healthy skin. Age isn't a limiting factor, though we recommend waiting until facial development is complete, usually after age 18. If you're considering other cheek enhancement treatments or facial contouring procedures, we can discuss combining treatments for optimal results. During consultation, we'll evaluate your facial structure and discuss whether dimple creation aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Dimple creation is a permanent procedure, meaning your new dimples will last a lifetime. Unlike temporary treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox injections that require regular maintenance, dimple creation is a one-time investment. The cost varies depending on whether you're having one or both cheeks treated and your specific requirements. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We believe in offering excellent value for permanent results. Many patients find dimple creation more cost-effective than ongoing maintenance treatments. We'll discuss payment options to make your treatment accessible and comfortable for your budget.
Yes, dimple creation can often be combined with other facial aesthetic treatments for comprehensive facial enhancement. Many patients choose to combine dimple creation with lip enhancement, jawline contouring, or anti-wrinkle treatments for a complete facial refresh. The timing of combined treatments depends on the specific procedures involved. Some treatments can be performed simultaneously, while others may require staging. During your consultation, we'll create a personalised treatment plan that addresses all your aesthetic goals safely and effectively. Combining treatments can often be more convenient and may offer better overall value than separate appointments.
Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results from your dimple creation procedure at London Dental Specialists. Your new dimples will require careful attention during the healing process. For the first 24-48 hours, expect mild swelling and tenderness around the treatment area. Apply ice packs for 10-15 minutes every few hours to minimise swelling. Keep the area clean and dry, gently rinsing with warm salt water twice daily. Avoid touching or pressing the treated areas unnecessarily.
During the first week, stick to soft foods to reduce facial movement and allow proper healing. Avoid spicy, acidic, or very hot foods that might irritate the area. Sleep with your head slightly elevated to help reduce swelling overnight. Do not smoke or consume alcohol, as these can impair healing and affect your final results.
For long-term maintenance, protect your investment by following a gentle skincare routine. Avoid aggressive facial treatments or massages for at least four weeks post-procedure. Your dimples will initially appear more pronounced due to swelling, gradually settling into their natural appearance over 2-4 weeks. Some patients notice their dimples are more visible when smiling during the first month, which is completely normal.
Don't schedule important social events for the first week, as mild bruising may occur. Do maintain good oral hygiene with gentle brushing. Contact our Central London practice immediately if you experience excessive pain, unusual swelling, or signs of infection. Most patients return to normal activities within 3-5 days, with full healing typically complete within four weeks. Your beautiful, natural-looking dimples will enhance your smile for years to come with proper care.
