The boom in cosmetic surgery has ushered in the age of the "designer dimple." In the current scenario where an increasing number of Indians are seeking cosmetic surgery, we present our technique for creation of chin dimples. We used this simple and straightforward technique in one patient. The principal steps of the technique include thinning the skin flap, creating a concave indentation in the mandibular symphysis, and obtaining an adhesion between the thinned skin flap and the indented bone. An aesthetically pleasing chin dimple was achieved. We propose that the bony contouring improves the chances of creating a permanent chin cleft or dimple. Our technique for creation of chin dimples aims to give an aesthetic and permanent result by altering the underlying contour of mandibular symphysis and achieving accurate skin coaptation with non-absorbable sutures.
整容手术的热潮迎来了“人造酒窝”时代。在当下越来越多印度人寻求整容手术的情况下，我们展示了制造下巴酒窝的技术。我们在一名患者身上运用了这种简单直接的技术。该技术的主要步骤包括使皮瓣变薄、在下颌联合处制造一个凹陷以及使变薄的皮瓣与凹陷的骨头粘连。获得了一个美观的下巴酒窝。我们认为骨轮廓塑形增加了制造永久性下巴裂隙或酒窝的几率。我们制造下巴酒窝的技术旨在通过改变下颌联合的基础轮廓并使用不可吸收缝线实现精确的皮肤贴合，从而获得美观且持久的效果。
