AJ Weir is a fortysomething mother and beauty blogger from the U.K. When her son Morgan was born, she couldn’t help but fall in love with him and the adorable dimple on his right cheek.


Weir did not carry the dimple gene herself, so she began feeling a bit jealous of Morgan’s cute facial feature. Over time, it was hard to look at herself in pictures because she didn’t have the dimples she so desired.

Eleven years after Morgan’s birth, Weir decided she wanted to emulate Morgan’s dimple once and for all.

Like mother, like son, right?

However, finding a surgeon who actually offered a “dimpleplasty” procedure was nearly impossible. Not only is it very rare in the U.K., there were also risks associated with creating artificial dimples in the cheeks, like permanent scarring.


There was even a chance the procedure wouldn’t work at all, and would prove nothing more than a waste of time and money.

Weir was undeterred. She booked herself a 90-minute dimpleplasty in early 2016. Her husband and son both told her she was “absolutely bonkers” for going forward with what many of her friends and coworkers called a “stupid cosmetic procedure.”
