Dimples are mostly located on the cheeks. They are common genetic trait. Most are caused by a birth defect, which just goes to show that not all "malformations" are actually bad. In fact, in many cultures, dimpled cheeks are considered attractive.

Around 20-30% of people in the US are estimated to have dimples. Dimples are considered a dominant genetic trait, so they often run in families.
There is no exact percentage of people in the US with dimples as it is a genetic trait that can vary across different populations. However, dimples are fairly common and estimated to be present in around 20-30% of the population worldwide.
Around 20% of the American population is estimated to have dimples. Dimples are caused by a genetic trait that causes certain muscles to be shorter than usual, creating a visible indentation when a person smiles.
This would depend on whether the allele for dimples is dominant or recessive. If the allele for dimples is dominant and the no dimples allele is recessive then the phenotype of the individual would be dimpled. If the allele for no dimples is dominant and the allele for no dimples is recessive then the dimples will not be expressed. If these alleles are codominant then the dimples will be expressed but not as much as in an individual who has both alleles for dimples.

You can't really MAKE dimples. Dimples are completely genetic.
Simple. Dimples.

a example of a gene
The child has a 50% chance of inheriting dimples. This is because dimples are a dominant trait, so if one parent is heterozygous for dimples, they will have one dominant allele for dimples to pass on to their child. The child would need to inherit this dominant allele from the heterozygous parent in order to express the trait.
As far as I know, dimples are genetic. I'm a teenager and I still have dimples.
