Enhance your smile with a subtle change
PIAF's dimple creation considers your face shape and smile habits first.We tailor to each individual's unique smile muscle movementto design dimples that appear naturally when you smile.
PIAF CLINIC
Add a highlight to your beautiful smile
No skin incision, fixed from inside the mouth
Dimple creation involves inserting dissolvable threads through the oral mucosa to lightly tie the inner cheek tissue and the subcutaneous layer. This leaves no scars on the skin surface, and as the cheek muscles move when smiling, the fixed point is gently pulled inward to form a dimple shape. The procedure takes about 20 minutes under sedation, with no need for stitch removal, and swelling typically subsides within a week. Initially, marks may be visible even without expression, but they usually settle into a form that appears only when smiling over time. Results and final appearance may vary by individual.
PIAF CLINIC
Three designs tailored to face shape and smile
The most basic form, created shortly in the center of the cheek, slightly away from the mouth corner. It suits those whose cheeks plump up when smiling and helps round faces appear more defined and cute. Size and depth are determined during consultation.
A small form made right next to the mouth corner, giving the impression that the mouth corner lifts when smiling, resulting in a gentle and friendly look. Chosen by those who prefer subtle changes and minimal visibility when expressionless.
A vertical form extending from the mouth corner towards the cheek. Adds dimension to long faces or those with flat areas below the cheekbones, with a distinct line when smiling broadly. Longer lengths may leave initial marks visible for longer, so length and depth are carefully determined during consultation.
Fixed from inside the mouth with dissolvable threads
Procedure Principle Dissolvable threads are passed through a tiny point in the oral mucosa to tie the inner cheek tissue and subcutaneous layer at one point. When the cheek muscles contract while smiling, the tied point is pulled inward, creating a natural dimple, and when expressionless, the tissue returns to its place, making the mark almost invisible. The threads are absorbed over time, but the tissue adheres to maintain the shape. The degree and duration of maintenance vary by individual, and those with thick cheek fat are informed during consultation.
Step 01
Consultation and Location Design
After observing face shape and smile, the desired type, location, and depth are determined together and marked on the cheek.
→Step 02
Thread Fixation Through Oral Mucosa
Without skin incision, dissolvable threads are passed from inside the mouth to tie the subcutaneous tissue.
→Step 03
Completion of Natural Dimples
No scars remain on the skin surface, and dimples appear when swelling subsides and you smile.
Intersection of Eye Tail Vertical Line and Mouth Corner Horizontal Line
The point where a vertical line from the outer eye corner meets a horizontal line from the mouth corner is used as a reference. Dimples created near this point look most natural.
Cheek Muscle Movement When Smiling
Starting from the reference point, the location is finely adjusted by checking where the cheek plumps up most when smiling.
Face Shape and Cheek Fat Thickness
Depth and length are designed based on face length, cheekbone position, and cheek fat thickness. Each side is checked separately as faces are slightly asymmetrical.
