Cheongdam Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery: Philtrum Reduction Revision Surgery Clinic
Dr. Song Sang-hoon of Cheongdam Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery specializes in philtrum reduction revision surgery, addressing issues like length recurrence and scarring with personalized, expert care.


Hello.
I am Song Sang-hoon, the head director of Cheongdam Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery.
While philtrum reduction surgery may not be unfamiliar to everyone,
for those with complexes in the mid-lower face,
it can be a surgery that holds
more importance and greater meaning than any other cosmetic procedure.

The philtrum is the center of the face and plays a crucial role in the overall balance of one's impression.
Therefore, philtrum reduction surgery
should not be approached merely as a method to shorten the length of the philtrum;
a sophisticated approach is required that considers the overall harmony of individual facial features and the connection with the mouth shape.
Especially for those who have already undergone a primary surgery to resolve such complexes,
revision surgery requires
a comprehensive consideration of various factors such as tissue damage, scars, and the flexibility of the combined skin.
Therefore,
more precise diagnosis and skilled surgical know-how are essential.

At Cheongdam Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery,
I, who have focused on mid-lower facial plastic surgery for over 20 years,
perform customized philtrum reduction revision surgery
tailored to each individual's face and mouth shape,
based on my extensive experience in performing numerous philtrum reduction surgeries.
There are mainly two types of philtrum reduction revision surgery cases
that visit Cheongdam Plastic Surgery.

The first is
when the length of the philtrum returns to a state similar to before surgery after philtrum reduction surgery.
Philtrum reduction surgery is a procedure that reduces the length of the philtrum by
excising and suturing an appropriate amount of skin and subcutaneous tissue in the philtrum area
according to the desired length and shape.
However, depending on the individual's
skin elasticity,
soft tissue thickness,
and the surgeon's technique,
the length of the philtrum may lengthen again over time.

The second is
when surgery is performed due to a thin vertical scar or a widened hypertrophic scar after philtrum reduction surgery.
Some individuals consider revision surgery because the suture site, over time,
becomes noticeably white and prominent, unlike the surrounding skin tone,
transforming into a condition known as a ‘picket fence scar’.
The philtrum area is structurally
a part of the face with a lot of movement
due to changes in expression
and lip movements.
Accordingly, repeated tension and relaxation can sometimes expose the suture line.
The occurrence of ‘picket fence scars’ or hypertrophic scars can be influenced by various factors such as individual skin type, initial UV protection, and inadequate scar management.
In such cases,
the effectiveness of skin regeneration lasers and ointments may be limited.

For these various reasons, many people
feel much greater concern and fear
when they visit Cheongdam Plastic Surgery to consider revision surgery
than when they first underwent philtrum reduction surgery.
This is because having already experienced a failure once,
their apprehension about the surgical outcome increases.

Therefore, for those who
trust me and visit Cheongdam Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery for revision surgery,
based on my extensive experience with numerous philtrum reduction surgeries and
a variety of surgical cases and techniques,
I perform delicate revision surgery based on each client's facial shape, skin, muscles,
and anatomical insights into the facial structure.

Above all, to alleviate the traces of previous surgery
and simultaneously restore a natural philtrum ratio and expression,
through 1:1 customized consultation and design with the client,

it can be a new concept of surgery that is not about restoration,
but about eliminating existing problems and finding a harmonious and beautiful mid-lower face.
If you have any further questions about philtrum reduction revision surgery,
please call Cheongdam Plastic Surgery.
We will assist you with detailed and friendly consultation and appointments.
Thank you.
