A facial specialist could do this procedure, but there are no guarantees of symmetry.

This can be done but it many times looks unnatural. That is probably why you don't see much about it.

Dimples in the cheeks are provided by doing buccal fat pad removal. We perform this procedure either in the office using local anesthesia or in the OR with other procedures. It is a very nice result and caution should be taken to avoid over-doing it.

Dimples that appear on your face occur as a result of facial muscle contracture or from a soft tissue deficit. A chin cleft can be created by localized removal of subcutaneous tissue in the central region of the chin.
