Dimple Creation Surgery (Dimpleplasty) in Istanbul

Cheek dimples are one of those small features that can make a smile look more expressive—some people are born with them, others simply love the look and want to create them. Dimple creation surgery, also called dimpleplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to form a natural-looking indentation in the cheek that appears when you smile (and may be visible at rest early in healing).

What Is Dimple Creation Surgery (Dimpleplasty)?

Dimpleplasty is a cosmetic procedure that creates one or two cheek dimples by forming a controlled internal “tether” so the skin gently pulls inward during facial expression—especially when smiling.
A key point: a great result isn’t just “a dent in the cheek.” It’s:
placed in a position that suits your face shape and smile
balanced for symmetry (when desired)
created conservatively so it looks natural over time
Because the technique is done from inside the mouth, there is no external facial scar.

Who It’s For (and What Results Are Realistic)

Dimple creation may be a good fit if you:

  • want dimples that appear when you smile
  • prefer a subtle “signature feature” rather than a dramatic change
  • want a procedure with no external scarring
  • understand that early healing can look different from the final result

What results usually look like

  • Early phase: dimples can look more obvious, sometimes even at rest, due to swelling and tissue tightness.
  • As healing progresses: the look typically softens and becomes more natural.
  • Long-term: many patients see dimples that show most clearly with smiling and are less noticeable at rest.

Your exact outcome depends on anatomy, placement, healing, and how your cheeks move when you smile.

One Dimple vs Two Dimples: Planning for Natural Placement

One of the most common questions is whether to choose a single dimple or double dimples.

Double dimples

  • Often chosen for symmetry and a classic “dimpled smile” look.
  • Requires careful matching of placement and depth to avoid an uneven appearance.

Single dimple

  • Chosen for a more unique look or to complement natural facial asymmetry.
  • Works best when placement is planned to look intentional and balanced.

How placement is usually decided

Placement is not random. It’s typically planned using:

  • your natural smile lines
  • cheek anatomy and fullness
  • face proportions (midface width and cheek volume)
  • your preferred “vibe” (subtle vs more noticeable)

The aim is a dimple that looks like it “belongs” on your face.

How the Procedure Works (Intraoral, No External Scar)

You confirmed that Vanity uses an intraoral approach, meaning the access point is inside the cheek.

In general terms, dimpleplasty involves:

  1. confirming placement while you smile (and sometimes while resting)
  2. local anesthesia (or sedation when appropriate, depending on plan)
  3. a small incision inside the mouth
  4. creating a controlled internal attachment/tether that forms the dimple
  5. closing with internal sutures

Because the incision is inside the mouth:

  • there’s no visible scar on the cheek
  • oral aftercare matters (hygiene, diet guidance) to support healing

Recovery: Timeline, Eating Rules, Oral Hygiene, Return to Work

Dimpleplasty is typically a short procedure with a relatively manageable recovery, but you’ll still want a clear plan—especially if you’re traveling.

Typical recovery timeline (general guidance)

First 48–72 hours

  • mild swelling and tenderness are common
  • smiling may feel tight
  • focus on rest, hydration, and careful oral hygiene

Week 1

  • swelling usually improves gradually
  • dimples can look more obvious early on
  • you’ll have follow-ups to check healing
  • mild swelling and tenderness are common
  • smiling may feel tight
  • focus on rest, hydration, and careful oral hygiene

Days 7–14

  • many patients return to normal routines and social activity
  • dimples often begin to look more “settled” with facial movement

Weeks 3–6

  • continued softening and more natural integration with your smile

Eating + oral hygiene (important for intraoral healing)

Your team will give exact instructions, but typical guidance often includes:

  • starting with softer foods for a short period
  • avoiding foods that may irritate the incision early on
  • using a surgeon-approved oral rinse protocol
  • keeping brushing gentle and careful around the area

When can I go back to work?

Many patients return to desk work quickly (often within a few days), but timing depends on swelling and how visible you want healing to be socially.

Patient Reviews

My grandmother (66 years old) and I (26 years old) came from Italy, she for a neck and face lift and I for a 360 liposuction, abdominoplasty and bbl.
Right from the start, my referrer Selvi was able to patiently answer all the questions I had in the pre-surgery, give me the best quotation and guide me through the arrival in Turkey. We were operated on 13.04.24 by Dr Erman, a young and very talented surgeon, I would trust him again for future operations.
When I arrived at the hospital, I was introduced to my contact person Mr. Umut, who was able to reassure me from the arrival to the departure at the clinic. Always with a smile on his face. He was able to solve all my problems in the shortest possible time very elegantly, and always answered my messages within a short time. Thanks to my grandmother’s referents, Gizem and all the wonderful nurses at the hospital, they were angels watching over me for two nights.
I will update in 6 months with photos of the masterpieces done by Dr Erman, not a surgeon but an artist.
Mr. Umut was able to win my trust and I am sure that even if I return home now, he will continue to follow me until I am fully recovered. I go home happy and calm, thank you Vanity Clinic.

I had a TT side back front and chin lipo..My coordinators Kerem and Umit were always available when needed..My surgeon Dr. Bugra Ipek MD is AMAZING.. I highly recommend Vanity

Allison J.

Hello everyone, I come from near Munich/Germany and would like to share my experience with you. On February 14th, 2024 I had my long-awaited operation (tummy tuck, liposuction)
I was in contact with lovely Dilek for a year because I had been thinking about going this route for a long time. Dilek was ready for every question throughout the year and always had an answer for me very quickly.
I compared many clinics in advance and all of them required an immediate decision. Nevertheless, I continued to be in contact with Dilek. She seems very understanding and patient to me, which is why I decided on Vanity. When I arrived in Turkey, dear Murat took over as my patient coordinator and was always on-site or available to me via WhatsApp. He looked after me just as understanding and relaxed as I was used to. As a result, I didn’t feel at all like a stranger.
My operation went well. Dr. operated on me. Algan. Despite all my fears, Dr. Algan felt like, on a human level, the best doctor I had the pleasure of meeting. You can throw all the German doctors in the bin next to him. Of course, I had fears and doubts, but Dr. Algan could take it back from me with a clear conscience. He is very cool, easy-going and relaxed and that gives me the feeling of being in really good hands. I felt like I was visiting a good friend. Only plus points for this doctor!! I don’t think anyone else could have done it like him!!
It’s been a week since my operation and my wounds are healing very well. Every day I feel better and every day I am happier when I can look at myself in the mirror. ‍
I don’t normally write reviews. But I hope I was able to help someone as indecisive as I was
Thanks again to the entire Vanity team, you are great
Thanks to Dr Algan for making my dream come true

Melissa

I couldn’t have chosen a better place than vanity, My surgeon and my support , were amazing, really happy,i had a tummy tuck and liposuction,

Susan Ali

I had a breast lift, tummy tuck, inner thighs lippo, Botox. Procedure were scheduled on October 9th . I had a doubt before leaving for surgery has the process is very different from what we are use to in Canada, could be a little stressful/overwhelming but at last everything went well. I had a great fully bilingual patient coordinator who guide me through the process. I had multiple nurses to take care of me during the 2 days post-op that I spent at the clinic. The doctor came to do chek-up on both days. Then I returned to my hotel to rest for some days and then had my final check-up before leaving to comeback home. Transportation to and from the airport and the clinic was great, big Mercedes van that were intimate, comfortable with wifi. Will definitely recommend this clinic to anyone and change their mind about medical tourism.

I had a liposuction before 2 months liposuction and breast enlargment I’m so happy of the results thank you dr Mert and his assistant Esra ( German Turkish speaker ) everything was perfect of course there were pain but it worth it;)

Friendly856538

This week on February 5th, 2024 I was operated on for liposuction and tummy tuck by a very charming doctor. Very friendly, very competent and very committed. Unfortunately he doesn’t speak German but I could also learn Turkish. Not smoking is very important and emphasizes it from the first minute. I was in a positive mood right from the start with respect for the operation but the trust was there and that was due to the team organizing it and being available at all times. Great care and information from the start was in the clinic and in my language. You can’t go wrong with a carefree package with Vanity. I’m looking forward to the actual result in a few months. But I was totally happy from the start. What I also have to say is that you don’t have to wait a long time for the ACCESS/CONVERSATION/OPENING – everything is carried out in an organized manner. Everything’s great my husband, we’ll be your next customer 🙂

Bi Schre (B.E.S)

Vanity is the best. The staff and doctor really helped me with my tummy tuck and the stay there was wonderful. My excellent surgeon I recommend. My beautiful and kind assistant made my stay even more comfortable and helped me all the way through. Many Blessings

MRSCARMELALAROSA

I had a tummy tuck, lipo 360, muscle repair and hernia repair in November. My experience was great along with my patient coordinator. I will be going back for additional procedures.

Christina Mortensen

I just had a tummy tuck with Vanity and it’s perfect. It’s now 6 days after the operation my big tummy is gone, I can walk, and do my daily routines. My beautiful assistant was 100% helpful during my procedure and gave advice to have physio massage during my stay, which helped me to heal very quickly. I am very happy and many Blessings.

Bruna OB

I was scheduled for a tummy tuck, arm lift, BBL w/back and waist Vaser liposuction with Dr Buğra İpek M.D.
After speaking with the anesthesiologist, she recommended only having 2 of the procedures and Thank God I took her advice. I had the tummy tuck and arm lift and I was extremely pleased with the entire clinic staff. They were professional and caring. The only downfall at times was the language barrier with the nurses not knowing English. Google Translate was a saviour. The clinic was clean and displayed exactly as it was in the videos that I received and the research I did on this clinic. I had these procedures because I was once 300 lbs and lost 160 lbs. I am as fit and defined as much as possible but could not get rid of the excess skin. I am very pleased with Vanity and I will return for the remaining procedures. I want to express that all of the accommodations were superb, including the hotel staff and transportation services.

Crista

I had a Tummy Tuck chin and back lipo..I love my results..I was never in pain..I want to thank Dr. Bugra Ipek MD. for giving me a wonderful flat stomach and slender waistline..Kerem and Umut my coordinators for answering all of my questions and taking care of me. I highly recommend Vanity

Pelham444

My surgeon performed tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL to my body a little more than 6 months ago. I waited 6 months to write A review so I can accurately report the results and WOW – his work is amazing! Surgeon’s communication was clear, educated and comforting. My shape is perfect. I have never had a flat tummy (even before my baby!) so I feel so happy every time I look in the mirror! Thanks Dr & the Vanity Team

Krystyna Bianchini

From the first contact, support, arrival, hospital stay/staff, follow-up care as well as the constant contact with Vanity, everything went smoothly and without any problems. I can only recommend vanity surgery. The staff always tried to help. My companion was also well looked after in the hospital. Thank you for your care, you are great❤️
I was operated on (tummy tuck, diastasis recti and liposection)

kurdo özkan

I met Vanity Aesthetics in March 2023. We performed Lipo and breast lift surgery. My process went incredibly smoothly and although the visual was better than I had imagined, the difficulty was that I continued my life as if I had never actually had surgery. My surgeon is a truly wonderful person. It even gave me the courage to have the tummy tuck surgery, which I feared the most, and I had the tummy tuck surgery in January 2024. Even though it’s only been 1 month now, my results are really great. My process in the hospital, the attention of the nurses and my consultant were wonderful at every moment. I felt very safe and comfortable. I really thank the Vanity team, Doctor and my consultant.

Bade Bayik

This was my second visit to Vanity. A year ago it was breast lift and blepharoplasty, this time- a tummy tuck and temporal lift. The stuff is very friendly and professional. My surgeon is absolutely great. my coordinator is very thorough and always punctual. His English is excellent and his support meant a lot to me.

Risks, Complications & Safety Planning

All procedures carry risks, even small ones. For dimple creation, important considerations include:

  • infection (because the incision is intraoral, hygiene is key)
  • asymmetry (position or depth differences)
  • dimples that are too deep or too shallow
  • prolonged swelling or firmness
  • changes you don’t love aesthetically (this is why placement planning matters)

A high-integrity consultation should cover:

  • whether you’re best suited to one dimple or two
  • realistic depth and placement for your cheek anatomy
  • aftercare steps to reduce avoidable problems

Non-Surgical Alternatives

There isn’t a true non-surgical equivalent that reliably “creates” a dimple in the same way surgery does. Some people opt for makeup techniques or temporary photo effects—but for a consistent, predictable dimple feature, dimpleplasty is the definitive method.

Medical Travel to Istanbul: What to Plan

For medical travelers, the best experience is structured:

  • arrive with time for consultation and planning
  • procedure day + clear aftercare instructions
  • follow-up before departure (important for intraoral healing)
  • remote support options for questions after you return home

Your coordinator can also help plan logistics around comfort, communication, and follow-up timing.

Dimple Creation Cost in Turkey: Starts from €1,350

At Vanity, dimple creation starts from €1,350.

Final pricing can depend on:

  • single dimple vs double dimples
  • anesthesia approach (local vs sedation, when appropriate)
  • overall treatment plan and support services

Costs vary by clinic and what’s included, but many medical travelers see higher pricing in high-cost markets:

  • London (UK): listings commonly show dimple creation from around £2,150+ and some private clinics quote higher depending on provider and inclusions.
  • Miami / USA: published ranges vary; some providers list starting around $2,500, while other sources cite ranges closer to $3,000–$6,000 depending on clinic and setting.
  • Switzerland: prices vary by clinic and package; aggregator listings show dimple surgery availability and note that costs differ based on clinic, technique, and optional services.

Turkey can be more affordable largely due to operating cost differences and streamlined care pathways—while still enabling modern facilities and coordinated patient support. The best comparison is always safety + experience + aftercare structure + transparency, not price alone.
