Dimples are a facial muscular disorder caused by genetic factors, i.e., congenital, that can be passed down from parents. The shape of the dimple is caused by the zygomatic muscle that helps people form expressions, including when smiling or talking. The zygomaticus muscle in ordinary people (those who do not have dimples) is perfectly connected from the cheekbones to the corners of the lips. On the contrary, in people with dimples, the muscle is probably split in two to cause concavity in the cheeks.
