Doctor Dan Wright is not only one of the kindest and nicest human beings you could ever meet he’s one of the most professional. At every stage of my procedure I felt reassured and in very safe hands. I would not normally post a review of anything that isn’t a restaurant or a barber but I felt compelled to here because my experience was so wonderful. Fantastic stuff. Brilliant.
I recently had surgery at 101 Harley Street and was impressed by the level of care and professionalism displayed by the entire team.

Dr Dan and his team at 101 are exceptional. I was made to feel so comfortable and relaxed during my procedure and everything is done with the highest level of professionalism. Can’t recommend them enough!
Staff were all extremely kind and thoughtful all through the process. I always come away feeling like I’ve had the best chat with good friends over a delicious coffee in a gorgeous spot. And all the while… also leaving with healthier skin. I’ve loved working with Emma and Duncan and everyone else at 101!
I had a procedure recently at 101 and I’m so happy with how it went! The staff and the consultant were super friendly and made me feel safe and welcome. The results of my procedure are fantastic and I will recommend to all of my friends and family.

Dimpleplasty is a minor surgical procedure that creates natural-looking dimples in the cheeks. At 101 Harley Street, it is performed under local anaesthetic and takes around 30 to 45 minutes. A tiny incision is made inside the mouth, meaning there are no external cuts and no visible scarring on the face. The underlying cheek muscle is adjusted to create a small indentation that produces a dimple when smiling. Initial dimples are visible immediately following the procedure, with the final natural settling of results at 4 to 6 weeks.
Dimpleplasty produces long-lasting results. In the initial weeks following the procedure, the dimple may be visible even at rest as the area heals. Over time, as healing progresses, the dimple typically becomes most apparent when smiling, closely mimicking the appearance of a natural dimple. Your surgeon at 101 Harley Street will explain what to expect at each stage of healing at your consultation.
Dimpleplasty is performed under local anaesthetic, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild tenderness, swelling, and discomfort inside the cheek in the first few days following surgery is normal and settles quickly. Most patients find any discomfort is minor and well managed without prescription pain medication. Recovery is straightforward, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days and taking only 1 to 2 days off work.
No. All incisions used in dimpleplasty are made inside the mouth, so there are no external cuts and no visible scarring on the surface of the face. This makes it a particularly discreet procedure, with no outward signs of having had a surgical treatment.
Yes. While many patients choose to have dimples created symmetrically on both cheeks, dimpleplasty can be performed on a single cheek if preferred. Placement, depth, and symmetry are discussed in detail at your consultation, where your surgeon at 101 Harley Street will assess your facial anatomy and advise on the position most suited to your natural expression and facial proportions.
Yes. After the initial healing period, the dimples appear naturally when smiling and blend smoothly with your facial expression.
No, all incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no external marks.
Immediately after surgery they may appear even when not smiling, but they gradually settle into a more natural movement over several weeks.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, easily managed with simple pain relief.
In some cases, dimpleplasty can be adjusted or reversed, depending on how the tissues have healed.
