Suggested I get dimple treated? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

implied

'suggested' is the definition.
(implying is a kind of suggesting)

'i get dimple treated?' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'treated?' indicates an anagram.
'dimple' is an anagram of 'mplied'.
'i'+'mplied'='IMPLIED'

(Other definitions for implied that I've seen before include "Understood" , "Stated indirectly" , "Suggested without stating directly" , "Suggested; not explicit" , "Tacit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
