Dimples are visible indentations of the skin, caused by underlying flesh, which form on some people's cheeks when they smile.
Dimples are genetically inherited and are a dominant trait [1]. Dimples on each cheek are a relatively common occurrence for people with dimples. A rarer form is the single dimple, which occurs on one side of the face only. Dimples themselves are actually caused by having shorter muscles in certain areas of the face.[citation needed]
Dimples are considered attractive in some cultures. Babies commonly have dimples, but sometimes these disappear (or become less noticeable) as the muscles lengthen with age; consequently, dimples are often associated with youth.
It is possible to have one or both cheeks surgically modified to create a dimple. This can cost around $500 per cheek. [2]

Yeah I actual have that too, i imagine its attractive, notwithstanding the important reason for that is because no one has a superbly symetrical face and that is what motives for the dimple to be on one facet. yet in simple terms because its on one facet would not recommend that (our) faces are very asymetrical both, there is not something incorrect with it.
