Cheongdam Plastic Surgery Philtrum Reduction: No Revision Surgery Needed
Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery offers five custom philtrum reduction techniques to achieve optimal aesthetic results without the need for revision surgery.

Hello.
I am Song Sang-hoon,
Chief Director of Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery.

Lip and philtrum surgery
is a plastic surgery procedure where the outcome is largely dependent on the surgeon's skill and expertise.
The philtrum is located in the center of the face,
making even small changes highly noticeable.
Furthermore, after surgery, scars can easily form due to the unavoidable influence of tension from frequent movement compared to other areas, as well as pore and sebum secretion, and the angle of the suture site. This leads many individuals considering surgery to hesitate and worry about whether to proceed.

Despite these concerns, many clients desire philtrum reduction surgery because
the philtrum, though a small part of the face, can significantly impact not only facial balance but also the proportions that determine whether one looks older or younger.
At Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery in Cheongdam,
we utilize five different philtrum reduction techniques.
Considering the client's skin type,
philtrum length,
lip shape,
and desired philtrum and mouth shape after surgery,
I, as the chief director, conduct private consultations with each individual
to select the most suitable philtrum reduction method
and perform a custom youthful philtrum reduction.
Let me explain Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery's unique
five philtrum reduction techniques.

1. Golden View Philtrum Reduction
This surgery reduces the length of the philtrum by making a bullhorn-shaped incision along the crease at the base of the nose.
The procedure involves completely separating the base of the nostrils
to maximally prevent nasal tip depression and nostril deformation.
2. Subnasal Central Philtrum Reduction
Unlike general philtrum reduction, this method involves a minimal incision in the central subnasal area (the starting point of the philtrum)
and can reduce the philtrum by up to 5-12mm.
Since it is a surgery involving small incisions and sutures,
the surgeon's skill and expertise are crucial.
It is a philtrum reduction technique that even those sensitive to scars can undergo with little burden due to the small incision area.
This reduction technique is recommended after consultation for individuals whose outer upper lip is not significantly rolled in and whose lip thickness is not excessively large.

3. Golden View Hybrid Philtrum Reduction
This philtrum reduction combines subnasal central philtrum reduction with outer lip lift surgery,
addressing philtrum reduction, lip volume, and lip sagging all at once.
It is recommended for individuals with a long philtrum and rolled-in upper lip
and is a philtrum reduction method that minimizes scarring through micro-incisions.
However, since the corners of the mouth may appear to droop after surgery, it is advisable for those with drooping mouth corners to also consider corner-of-the-mouth lift surgery.

4. Golden View Tetra Scarless Philtrum Reduction
This philtrum reduction technique is a re-envisioned version that addresses the shortcomings of existing scarless philtrum reduction methods.
It involves bilateral intranasal incisions followed by a four-stage multi-suture technique
to fix the philtrum tissue to the periosteum.
This minimizes the loosening that can occur with simple suturing due to lip movement,
a common issue with conventional scarless philtrum reduction,
and also offers the additional benefit of deepening the philtrum groove.
A key advantage is the absence of external incisions, meaning no visible scars.

5. Golden View Lip Line Philtrum Reduction
This philtrum reduction technique resolves a long philtrum and thin upper lip simultaneously through a gull-wing shaped incision on the upper lip.
This surgery is also a method for upper lip augmentation and is performed in cases of:
Thin lips with rolled-in outer lips
Lips with a lifted central upper lip area
Anticipated nasal deformation during subnasal excision
Since this surgery requires excision that considers the ratio between the central and outer parts of the upper lip, it necessitates a surgeon with extensive knowledge of lip shape and ratios, and skilled expertise in lip surgery.

Today, I have briefly explained our Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery's
five philtrum reduction techniques.
As a plastic surgeon specializing in mid- and lower-facial and mouth-area aesthetics for 20 years, I am not merely focused on reducing philtrum length, but rather,
I continuously research and perform surgeries to provide individuals with custom-designed, highly aesthetic mid- and lower-facial areas.

From consultation to surgery and post-operative care,
Golden Diamant's systematically structured Golden View Philtrum Reduction
will be a positive step towards minimizing scars and achieving optimal results.
