Introduction to Dimpleplasty Surgery
If you’ve always admired dimples’ charm and playful allure, but never quite had them, Dimpleplasty could help you achieve the cheeky look of dimples, adding a natural, youthful element to your smile.
Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim, a dual fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with expertise in Facial Plastic Surgery, offers Dimpleplasty at AR Aesthetics in Melbourne, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, FL, providing a personalized approach that’s as unique as you are.
Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to create dimples on your cheeks. It’s a small, well-placed incision in the cheek where the dimple is desired, followed by a tiny stitch that pulls the tissue inward, creating that signature indentation when you smile. While the procedure is straightforward, the results are long-lasting, providing a natural and beautiful enhancement to your smile.
A Dimpleplasty surgery isn’t just about adding dimples—it’s about enhancing the beauty of your smile in a natural, understated way. Some of the key benefits include:
Non-Invasive: With minimal incisions and no need for stitches to be removed, the procedure is straightforward and requires only a few hours of your time.
Ideal candidates for Dimpleplasty are those in the Melbourne area who are in good health and are looking to enhance their smile with a subtle and natural feature. If you’ve always wanted dimples or feel your smile could benefit from that extra touch of charm, Dimpleplasty might be right for you.
However, if you have any active skin infections, serious health conditions, or unrealistic expectations about the outcome, Dr. Ibrahim will evaluate your suitability for the procedure during your consultation.
The first step in achieving your ideal dimple is booking a consultation with Dr. Ibrahim at AR Aesthetics in Melbourne or one of our other locations. During this one-on-one meeting, Dr. Ibrahim will assess your facial features, discuss your desired outcome, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for Dimpleplasty. He’ll walk you through the procedure, explain how he customizes each surgery for optimal results, and answer any questions you may have.
Dimpleplasty at AR Aesthetics is a straightforward, in-office procedure performed with precision by Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim. Everything is carefully mapped out and handled on the day of your appointment. After a brief review of your treatment plan, Dr. Ibrahim marks the precise location where your dimples will be placed, ensuring they complement your facial structure and enhance your natural expression.
A local anesthetic is applied to numb the area, allowing you to stay comfortable while remaining awake. The procedure itself takes around 30 minutes. Dr. Ibrahim carefully creates the dimple without any visible scarring or external sutures using a small incision inside the cheek. Once it’s complete, you’ll be free to leave and return home without the need for general anesthesia or an extended recovery. It’s a clean, efficient process with minimal disruption to your day.
Mild swelling or bruising inside the cheek is normal for the first few days but typically resolves without any special treatment. Most patients resume their daily activities within one to two days. Soft foods and gentle rinsing with saltwater or an antiseptic mouthwash help keep the area clean during the early stages of healing.
Initially, the dimples may appear even when the face is at rest. Over the following weeks, as the tissue heals and adjusts, the dimples will settle into a more natural, dynamic look, visible only when you smile.
Even though dimpleplasty is a small, minimally invasive procedure, the quality of healing matters—especially when the goal is a subtle, natural indentation that blends seamlessly into your smile, to optimize healing and minimize the risk of internal scarring or uneven tissue settling, Dr. Ibrahim enhances recovery using Pure PDGF by AriEssence and the AR Radiant Recovery Protocol of targeted peptides.
PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) plays a key role here. Unlike most surgical sites that require waiting weeks before introducing scar-support therapies, PDGF is gentle and regenerative enough to begin immediately after surgery, supporting the inner cheek tissue as it heals around the newly created dimple. This early intervention helps regulate inflammation, encourage clean tissue remodeling, and ensure that the final dimple forms smoothly and predictably.
To further support recovery, Dr. Ibrahim may pair PDGF with his curated peptide protocol—designed to accelerate soft-tissue healing from the inside out:
Together, PDGF + targeted peptides give patients a more comfortable recovery, a quicker return to normal activities, and a more polished, natural-looking result—allowing your new dimples to settle in beautifully with your smile.
The cost of Dimpleplasty in Melbourne, FL, generally ranges between $3,500 and $4,000. The price can vary based on several factors, such as the complexity of the surgery and the number of dimples you wish to have. Dr. Ibrahim will provide a clear and personalized quote during your consultation, so you won’t have to worry about any surprises.
