The rarity of one dimple versus two is nuanced; research suggests unilateral (one-sided) dimples can be more common than bilateral (two-sided) dimples, although other studies indicate the opposite.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Conflicting Studies: Some studies show that dimples on both cheeks are generally more prevalent than a single dimple.
-
Unilateral Dimple Prevalence: However, other research indicates that unilateral dimples (one dimple) might actually be more common. The reference provided states a particular study found unilateral dimples to be more common than bilateral dimples.
-
Side Preference (If Unilateral): Within unilateral dimples, there's even a potential preference for the left side over the right side, according to some studies.
Therefore, it's difficult to definitively state whether one dimple is inherently "rare" without more context on the specific population being studied. The prevalence seems to vary depending on the sample group. While the perception might be that two dimples are more common, research suggests a single dimple isn't necessarily unusually rare.
