Background: Facial dimples are common findings in the human face and always have been considered a sign of facial beauty. With the increased awareness of plastic surgery, there are also an increased in the willingness to have surgically created dimples. Multiple surgical techniques have been described for creating facial dimples. The open surgical technique for facial diploplasty gives proper visual access for mimicking the natural dimples rather than the blind coring of the tissues or the transcutaneous sutures as both are associated with more risk of unwanted complications or side effects
