Can Dimples Disappear?

In some cases, it's possible for dimples to disappear. One prime example is the many infants who appear to have dimples but later outgrow them as the zygomaticus major muscle fully matures.

Others may appear to lose or gain dimples, while they're usually only becoming more or less noticeable. Individuals who gain weight may look as though they've lost dimples, while people who lost weight appear to have gained them. In both situations, the dimples likely haven't changed but the ability to see them has.
