One of the latest plastic surgery fads to hit cosmetic surgery centers across the country is dimple plastic surgery. As in the cute and adorable dimples found on the cheeks of child stars and girls next door everywhere. This surgery has become a particularly popular cosmetic procedure in Asian where patients are trying to recreate more western standards of beauty.

Dimple plastic surgery, however, has also caught on in the United States. Surgically altered dimples can help cosmetic patients achieve the cute smile they always wanted. Man made dimples are actually created with minimal invasiveness and in just a few minutes. Dimples themselves are actually imperfections caused by the improper growth of cheek muscles. Dimple surgery simply recreates this cheeky defect. The plastic surgeon makes a cut on the inner cheek, which separates skin, cheek muscle, and fat. This creates a shallow cavity (dimple) inside the cheek, which is closed up using absorbable stitches. The process takes under 30 minutes.

For those searching for the perfect dimpled smile, dimple cosmetic surgery just might be what the doctor ordered.
