Dimples tend to occur in genetics, and this trait is assumed to be inherited. Dimples are usually considered a dominant genetic trait, which means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause dimples.

It is when their is sort of a dent somewhere on your body, dimples are usually found on the face, and sometimes you may only have a dimple on one side of your face
