Answer:Anatomically, dimples are caused by the facial muscle called zygomaticus major. Dimples are caused when your facial muscle zygomaticus major, is shorter than normal; it pulls on your skin and forms the indentation in your facial skin. Cheek dimples are formed by the double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle

Dimples are caused by a minor muscle deformity which cause the skin of the cheek to draw tightly as it moves, creating external divots. This adorable facial feature is usually a GENETICALLY-INHERITED TRAIT.
