    Dimples are the result of shortened muscles (or deformities in the muscles) of the face. Debate remains open as to the genetic nature of dimples, with some scientists seeing a genetic basis and others not seeing evidence for this at all (J. H. McDonald, University of Delaware, accessed 2018). This uncertainty is bolstered by the fact that dimples may come and go during a person’s lifetime, suggesting other factors are also at play.

    Staff Answer
    Yes, this is certainly possible, which is why some scientists do not think they are genetically based (J. H. McDonald, University of Delaware, accessed 2018). Dimples can come and go throughout a lifetime, and older age could see facial changes that produce dimples. No guarantees though!

    It is thought that about 20% of the population has dimples. It’s not too uncommon but uncommon enough for some of the dimple-less majority of the population to be rather envious!

    If you don’t have natural dimples, you can try to mimic them using makeup, a temporary fix. This article provides some useful advice on how to do this. While there is also a surgical process called dimpleplasty that can give you dimple, it's not without problems––as with any surgery, it comes with with risks (it may create unexpected deformities) and it’s only a semi-permanent fix lasting a few months (a lot of effort and pain for little duration). Try using the makeup but best of all, realize that you're your own beautiful dimple-less self.
