dimple definition and meaning

What is a "dimple"?

A dimple is a small indentation or hollow that forms on the surface of the skin, typically on the cheeks or chin. It is created by a natural variation in the underlying muscles and fat distribution. Dimples are considered a charming and attractive feature, often associated with a youthful and friendly appearance. They are most commonly seen when a person smiles, as the muscles contract and create a noticeable depression in the skin. Dimples can be present from birth or develop over time. They are unique to each individual and add a touch of individuality to their facial structure.
