Dimple Surgery is performed by experienced facial surgeons, this treatment enhances facial expressions and adds subtle character to the smile. A consultation is the first step toward achieving balanced, aesthetic results tailored to your facial structure.

What Is A Dimple Surgery?
It is a type of plastic surgery used to create dimples on the cheeks. Dimples are the indentations that occur when some people smile. They’re most often located on the bottoms of the cheeks. Some people may also have chin dimples. Not everyone is born with this facial trait. In some people, dimples naturally occur from indentations in the dermis caused by the deeper facial muscles. Others may be caused by injury. Regardless of their causes, dimples are regarded by some cultures as a sign of beauty, good luck, and even fortune. Due to such perceived benefits, dimple surgeries have increased significantly in recent years.
People with cleft chins will often form a chin dimple, too. They may also be caused by variations in your facial muscle and structure, such as your cheekbones being more pronounced on one side of your face. Cheek dimples are formed in the cheek area, usually on both sides of the face, although not always. The dimple is an indentation in the cheek that results from excess fat below the skin’s surface, and it’s often considered one of the most attractive facial features. At Cayra, we will give you that beautiful face you seek at an affordable cost. Discover Cayra’s dedication to excellence in dimple surgery here.
What Are The Benefits?
- One of the most appealing aspects of dimpleplasty is that it may be performed on anyone, regardless of cheek size. The treatment takes around an hour, and there is minimal downtime.
- It is a safe and reversible technique.
- It allows for youthfulness. Everyone experiences the natural process of aging. Wrinkles, fine lines, and blemishes are visible indications of aging. If you have such skin imperfections, you will appear fatigued or old. However, when dimple creation is used as an appropriate treatment, one feels younger, healthier, and refreshed.
- The procedure is gaining much traction because it produces results that perfectly complement a patient’s receptiveness. Soon after surgery, a treated body component returns to its desired or standard shape. The advantage of cosmetic surgery is that one does not have to wait long to see the results.
- Enhanced mental health and increased confidence. Self-confidence is a skill that allows us to face obstacles and solve issues with great assurance. You feel good when you look nice, boosting your self-esteem. It encourages people to try new things and be more open in social situations. You become more willing and open to wearing certain clothes or participating in activities that you avoided before surgery due to discomfort in your appearance.

Why Is Surgery performed?
Dimpled cheeks are widely considered attractive, often described as cute, charming, or youthful. For many people, dimples enhance facial expressions and create a warmer, more approachable appearance.
In recent years, dimple piercings have also gained popularity as a temporary way to imitate this feature. Many believe dimples make a face appear friendlier, more innocent, and more expressive, which is why they are often associated with youth.
Dimples are even used in marketing and copywriting to make individuals or products seem more relatable and trustworthy, reinforcing their appeal as a positive aesthetic trait.
Naturally occurring dimples are small indentations that appear when a person smiles, most commonly on the lower cheeks. Dimpleplasty aims to recreate this effect, producing natural-looking, permanent results.
Turkey is home to numerous world-class cosmetic clinics offering dimple creation procedures at affordable prices. At Cayra Clinic, dimple surgery is performed by highly experienced doctors and qualified medical professionals to ensure safe, precise, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
Who Is Not The Right Candidate?
Patients with the following conditions will not be eligible for dimple creation surgery because they are deemed complex or high-risk cases:
- Disorders of bleeding
- Patients having underlying severe medical conditions that necessitated additional therapy and research, such as HIV.
How Do I Prepare For Dimple creation?
When considering the surgery, choosing an experienced surgeon is essential. While some dermatologists are trained to perform this procedure, it is often best handled by a facial plastic surgeon. At Cayra, our expert surgeons are highly experienced in dimple surgery and can be trusted to deliver safe, natural-looking results. During your initial consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss the benefits and potential risks, determine your suitability for the procedure, and carefully plan the ideal placement of your dimples.
What Is The Surgery Cost In Turkey?
The cost varies, even though it is cheaper than in the US and UK. It ranges between 1500 and 2500 Euros.
How Is Dimple Surgery Performed?
It is performed on an outpatient basis. This means you can get the procedure done at your surgeon’s clinic instead of going to the hospital. You may also not need to be put under general anesthesia. First, your doctor at Cayra will apply a topical anesthetic, such as lidocaine, to the area of the skin. This helps to ensure that you don’t experience discomfort during the surgery. It takes about 10 minutes for the anesthetic to take effect.
Your doctor at Cayra then uses a small biopsy instrument to make a hole in your skin and manually create a dimple. A small amount of muscle and fat is removed to aid this creation. The area is about 2 to 3 millimeters in length. Once your doctor creates the space for the future dimple, they position a suture (sling) from one side of the cheek muscle to the other. The sling is then tied to set the dimple permanently in place.
What is the Recovery Timeline For Dimple Surgery?
Recovery is relatively straightforward. You don’t need the hospital. You can usually go home immediately after the surgery. Soon after the procedure, you might experience mild swelling. You can apply cold packs to reduce swelling, but it usually disappears within a few days. Most people can return to work, school, and other regular activities two days after having a dimpleplasty. Your surgeon will likely want to see you a few weeks after the procedure to assess the results.
Are There Complications For Dimple Creation?
Our surgeons at Cayra will perform your dimple surgery perfectly. Therefore, there won’t be any complications, although there may be minor side effects like bleeding or scarring that will disappear quickly.
What Should I Expect On The Surgery Day?
The treatment is performed as an outpatient surgery. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the process. The surgeon will use topical anesthetic to numb the region. The indentation is created by making a small incision and removing some muscle and fat. After that, the incision is sutured. The patient’s anatomy determines the final result.
Is Dimple Surgery Safe?
Yes, it is safe. The need for it has recently increased. It is a relatively risk-free daycare operation, and patient satisfaction is really high.
What Is The Recovery Time?
The process is easy and takes no more than half an hour at most, using local anesthetic. As a result, the recuperation time is brief, lasting no more than two days. The results will be seen in the first several weeks, whether you smile or not. Only when the patient smiles does the dimple become natural and apparent after a month.
After the procedure, your doctor at Cayra will apply a small facial bandage to the treated area to support dimple or cleft chin formation. This bandage is usually removed on the third day. Since dissolvable sutures are used, there is no need to return to the clinic for stitch removal. Your doctor may encourage you to stay in touch with the clinic during your recovery to monitor healing.
Most patients can return to work the next day or after a short recovery period. However, strenuous activities such as contact sports and intense exercise should be avoided to prevent facial injury. The typical recovery period lasts 7 to 10 days.
Within a few weeks, the treated area begins to take shape, and the dimples or cleft chin become more noticeable while appearing natural, as if they were present from birth. Final results are usually visible after about one month.
Do I Need a Medical Visa For Dimple Surgery In Turkey?

What About Dimple Surgery Insurance In Turkey?

Are The Results Permanent?
Yes, dimple surgery is permanent. For several weeks, the dimple is visible both with and without the smile, and after three weeks, it is visible only when smiling, which is pretty close to the natural dimple. Swelling, bruising, and a little bleeding are all possible side effects. This is a relatively straightforward surgery with a recovery time of no more than two days.
When Can I Go Back To My Daily Life?
Usually, the recovery takes 7 to 10 days. However, you can return to your daily life the day after your surgery. Avoid doing any activities that can cause harm to your face during the recovery period. It would be best to regularly rinse your mouth with an antiseptic solution during this period. Also, your surgeon might prescribe you some antibiotics.
What Is The Result Of Dimple Surgery?
You have the way dimples look; you will love your results. With the short procedure time, minimal post-operative discomfort, and quick recovery, this highly well-tolerated procedure has excellent results.
