Dimples — those charming little indentations that grace some smiles — are often beloved additions to a person’s expression. While traditional dimples, which appear near the corners of the mouth, are pretty common, there is a less-known but equally captivating variety that you might be unaware of, one that even boasts its own distinctive moniker.
Dubbed ‘whisker dimples,’ these features echo a cat’s whiskers and can be found adorning the tops of the cheeks, nestled close to the nose. They add a unique and understated charm to a person’s smile, bringing an extra sprinkle of personality to their facial features. Check out some of the idols with whisker dimples!
