Expert Answer

Botox can be used to enhance the appearance of dimples by temporarily relaxing the muscles around them. When injected strategically near the dimple site, Botox reduces the muscle activity in that area, allowing the dimple to appear more pronounced and prominent. While this effect is not permanent like surgical options, it offers a non-invasive way to achieve a more defined dimple appearance. However, it's essential to note that the results are temporary and typically last for several months before requiring touch-up injections for maintenance.

Question

Will fake dimples help me get a girlfriend?

Community Answer

No! If anything, they could drive people away, especially if you lie about them. Your natural face shape and looks should be enough to get you a girlfriend. If she only likes you for dimples, odds are that she's not the person for you.

Question

I want dimples, but none of these things are working! What can I do?

Community Answer

Take two cotton swabs and place one on each cheek where you want your dimples. Smile and reposition the cotton swabs as desired. If you do this regularly, you will get dimples.

Question

How long does it take to make fake dimples?

Community Answer

It depends on the method, effort, how often you do the method, and if you are doing the method right. Everybody's different; for someone else, it could take three days, but for another, it could take three weeks - so just keep working at it.

Question

What if I need the dimples today, is there a method to use that is not time consuming?

Community Answer

Sometimes before a picture, I press my thumbnails into my cheeks pretty hard. When I smile for the next few minutes I have dimples. It's an easy way, and if you press your thumbnail into your cheek three times a day, you get dimples after about a month.

Question

Why do people want to have dimples?

Community Answer

Dimples are a feature that many deem cute and childlike, and they're viewed as attractive in most cultures. Their rarity--only about 20% of the population have them--make them more sought after.
