痘痕もえくぼ isn't common. I don't think it needs to be visible.

Sticking closer to the n-grams for order. The key is that it's [UK] and mostly あばたもえくぼ/アバタもエクボ.

  Comments:
Worse than I thought.... Added all as [sK]/[sk].  Maybe あばたもエクボ at 8% could be displayed.  There must be something in the Japanese psyche to explain 痘痕 getting hiragana while 笑窪 get's katakana...

 惚れた目から見れば痘痕も笑窪に見えるという諺があるが、
  Comments:
Add 笑窪 (clearly exists in the wild).

I was going to argue for putting 笑窪 ahead of 靨, but looking at twitter, the "classic" 靨 seems to be preferred (if only maybe by ~+50%), whatever the n-grams otherwise seem to indicate.
