Dreaming of charming dimples that light up your smile? Dimple creation surgery (dimpleplasty) has become increasingly popular in Ahmedabad, offering a way to achieve those coveted facial dimples naturally. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate for this cosmetic procedure.
As a plastic surgeon in Ahmedabad, I frequently consult with patients who wonder if dimple creation is right for them. The answer depends on several factors including your facial anatomy, age, skin quality, and realistic expectations about the results.
Dimple creation surgery is a minimally invasive facial aesthetic procedure that creates permanent dimples by forming a connection between the cheek muscle and the overlying skin. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes and can be performed under local anaesthesia.
During the procedure, I create a small incision inside the mouth, remove a tiny portion of cheek muscle, and secure the skin to the deeper tissue. This creates the characteristic dimple depression that appears when you smile.
Your facial structure plays a crucial role in determining candidacy. Patients with fuller cheeks typically achieve more natural-looking results, while those with very thin cheeks may not have enough tissue for optimal dimple formation.
During consultation, I assess your buccinator muscle (cheek muscle), skin thickness, and facial symmetry. The position of your natural smile lines also influences where dimples can be placed for the most aesthetic result.
Schedule a personalised consultation with Dr. Neel Gupta to assess your candidacy for dimple creation surgery.

Your dimple creation consultation in Ahmedabad begins with a comprehensive assessment of your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Here's what to expect during your visit to our Chandkheda clinic:
I examine your facial structure, cheek anatomy, and natural smile pattern. We discuss your desired dimple placement, size, and depth. I also evaluate your skin quality, facial symmetry, and overall health status.
Using advanced imaging, we can preview how dimples might look on your face. This helps set realistic expectations and allows you to visualise the potential results before committing to surgery.
We review your complete medical history, current medications, allergies, and any previous facial procedures. This information is crucial for determining your surgical candidacy and planning the safest approach.
I explain the procedure details, recovery timeline, potential risks, and realistic outcomes. It's important that you understand both the benefits and limitations of dimple creation surgery.
| Time Period | What to Expect | Activity Level |

| Week 2-4 | Most swelling resolves, dimples more natural | Normal activities, gentle exercise |
| Month 2-3 | Final dimple appearance, complete healing | All activities, including sports |
The cost of dimple creation surgery in Ahmedabad varies based on several factors including the complexity of your case, anaesthesia type, and facility fees. During consultation, we provide transparent pricing that includes:
We offer flexible payment options to make the procedure accessible to suitable candidates. Contact our clinic for detailed pricing information based on your specific needs.
Some patients in Ahmedabad inquire about temporary dimple creation methods. While non-surgical options like dermal fillers can create temporary dimple-like depressions, they typically last only 6-12 months and may not provide the natural appearance of surgical dimples.
Surgical dimple creation offers permanent results with a natural appearance, especially when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. The decision between temporary and permanent options should be discussed during consultation.
Some patients choose to combine dimple creation with other facial enhancement procedures. Common combinations include:
Combining procedures can be cost-effective and reduce overall downtime, but it's essential to ensure you're a good candidate for multiple treatments.
Understanding the post-operative period helps determine if you're ready for the commitment dimple creation requires:
Following surgery, you'll need to maintain excellent oral hygiene, avoid hard or spicy foods, and take prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection. Initial dimples will appear very prominent due to swelling.
Dimples will be most visible immediately after surgery and gradually become more natural-looking as swelling subsides. Final results are typically evident after 2-3 months.
Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, but certain restrictions apply during the initial healing period. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Take the first step towards your dream smile. Dr. Neel Gupta will assess your candidacy and create a personalised treatment plan.
