Face Symmetry and Attraction: How Small Changes Make a Big Impact

When it comes to beauty, we often hear the saying, “It’s all about the little things.” But did you know that science agrees? Studies show that facial symmetry and small details play a huge role in how we perceive attractiveness — sometimes even more than makeup, hairstyles, or fashion.

At RJ Clinic, we specialize in helping patients enhance their natural features through minimally invasive treatments, from scarless dimple creation to dermal fillers, Ultherapy, and eyebrow transplants. In this article, we explore why small changes, like adding dimples, can have a big impact on your look — and your confidence.

🌟 The Science of Face Symmetry

Researchers have long been fascinated by why some faces are universally perceived as attractive. One consistent finding? Symmetry matters.


Facial symmetry refers to how closely the left and right sides of your face match. While nobody has a perfectly symmetrical face, studies show that slight balance creates a more harmonious appearance, signaling health, youth, and vitality.


But symmetry is just part of the story — and this is where small, asymmetrical features like dimples come into play.


💫 Why Dimples Are Seen as Attractive

Dimples are small indentations on the cheeks or chin that appear when you smile. They are technically a minor muscle variation — but socially and culturally, they carry powerful associations:


Youthfulness: Dimples are often linked to childhood, when facial fat pads and skin elasticity are highest.

Playfulness and charm: A dimpled smile can make someone appear more approachable, fun, and friendly.

Uniqueness: Not everyone has dimples, so they stand out as a memorable, eye-catching feature.


Interestingly, dimples can actually break perfect facial symmetry

— but they enhance facial dynamics, creating balance in movement, which is just as important as static symmetry.

🔍 Small Changes, Big Impact


Many of our patients are surprised at how minor aesthetic enhancements can significantly transform their appearance.

Some examples we see at RJ Clinic:


These are all small, localized treatments, yet they collectively bring balance, freshness, and confidence to the entire face.

💉 What Is Scarless Dimple Creation?

Scarless dimple creation, or dimpleplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to create natural-looking dimples on the cheeks or chin. Unlike older surgical methods, RJ Clinic’s technique is performed:


✅ From inside the mouth — no visible scars on the skin

✅ Under local anesthesia — quick and painless

✅ In ~10–20 minutes — outpatient procedure


We customize the location, size, and depth of the dimples to suit your face shape and smile. For chin dimples, we also offer nonsurgical chin fillers to create a cleft look without any cutting.


💭 Why Patients Choose Dimpleplasty

For many, the goal isn’t drastic change — it’s to enhance their natural beauty.

Common reasons patients choose dimpleplasty:

✨ They’ve always loved dimples on others and want the same cute, youthful vibe.

✨ They want to add uniqueness to their smile.

✨ They’re looking for a minimally invasive, low-downtime treatment with long-lasting results.


At RJ Clinic, our doctors, led by Dr. Renee, help patients understand what’s possible and what will look most natural for them.

👩‍⚕️ How We Ensure Natural Results

Every face is unique, and so is every dimple creation plan.

During your consultation, we assess:

  • Your face shape and smile line

  • The ideal dimple position and length

  • Your skin thickness, muscle movement, and elasticity

  • Your personal preferences — subtle or pronounced?


We explain how the dimples will look initially (slightly more defined) and how they will settle over the next few months into natural dynamic dimples that appear when you smile.
