'Grübchen' (dimple) contains the diminutive suffix '-chen'. It turns the idea of an indentation into a small indentation, which is why the word can also sound affectionate or vivid.
Das Grübchen an ihrem Kinn wurde beim Lachen sichtbar.
The dimple on her chin became visible when she laughed.
When talking about a dimple on the face, body parts or facial expressions often appear alongside it, for example 'Grübchen in der Wange' (dimple in the cheek), 'Grübchen am Kinn' (dimple on the chin), and 'beim Lächeln sichtbar werden' (to become visible when smiling).
Beim Lächeln erschienen auf beiden Wangen kleine Grübchen.
When she smiled, small dimples appeared in both cheeks.
