Contrary to this positive perception, it results from a genetic defect that gives rise to a double or bifid zygomaticus muscle underlying the cheeks. A dimple simply means a depression or indentation on the human body. They come in different types based on their anatomical location. For example, fovea mentalis is a chin dimple, whereas fossa lumbales laterales refers to dimples on the back. However, dimple is most commonly used to refer to facial dimples or fovea buccalis. These occur in both genders, either unilaterally or bilaterally. Anatomically, these occur due to a double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle on the face.\n
