Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's 20 Years of Experience: Golden View Medial Philtrum Reduction Surgery

Hello.

I am Song Sang-hoon,

Chief Director of Gold Diamant Cheongdam Plastic Surgery.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon for over 20 years,

I have performed countless facial surgeries for numerous clients,

and what I've realized most profoundly is that

even a very subtle change in a single point can significantly alter an individual's overall impression and facial proportions.

Among these, the philtrum, in particular,

is a crucial area that determines the length of the face and the proportion of the mouth,

and it is also an important factor for a youthful-looking face.

Therefore, both in the past and now, there has been consistent interest from those who desire an image transformation through changes in facial proportions.

At Cheongdam Plastic Surgery, within this trend,

we don't just shorten the philtrum;

to create a harmonious mouth shape that suits each individual's image,

we consider the volume and shape of the lips,

the shape and length of the philtrum,

and the individual's skin elasticity,

offering customized philtrum reduction surgeries.

Today, I will explain in detail about the ‘Golden View Medial Philtrum Reduction Surgery’,

which involves designing and incising the philtrum under the nose to create a definite change in philtrum length.

The ideal philtrum ratio in a face is when

the philtrum length and chin length are at least 1:2,

which looks most natural and balances the face,

highlighting the individual's features.

One of the surgeries to create this ideal philtrum ratio is

Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's Golden View Medial Philtrum Reduction Surgery.

It involves analyzing the patient's lip line and muscle structure,

completely separating the nasal tissue and philtrum tissue, which have different thicknesses and tissue characteristics,

and then fixing and suturing the separated muscle layers using the philtrum tissue as a base. This surgery

can particularly enhance the completeness of philtrum length reduction and the preservation of the mouth shape.

The unique advantages of Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's highly refined

Golden View Philtrum Reduction Surgery are as follows:

1. By varying the design according to each individual's mouth shape and philtrum length,

it compensates for the drawback of existing medial philtrum reduction surgeries where only the center of the philtrum is lifted.

By achieving a certain degree of central and lateral lift,

it can maintain a relatively natural lip shape and volume as much as possible.

2. Through our clinic's unique lift suture to the periosteum under the philtrum,

it minimizes the philtrum length from lengthening again after surgery

and reduces the tension that causes the incision site to widen,

thereby minimizing stretched scars, which are one of the post-operative side effects of incision surgery.

3. By separating the nasal tissue and philtrum tissue, the base of the nostril is completely separated and sutured,

and the lower part is reinforced with the orbicularis oris muscle to maintain the shape of the nose as much as possible

and prevent depression and deformation of the nasal alar base.

4. As a surgical technique for medial philtrum reduction,

the philtrum groove is also naturally defined and created,

allowing for philtrum groove plasty to be performed simultaneously without additional cost.

Although Golden View Medial Philtrum Reduction Surgery has the advantages mentioned above,

it may not be suitable for everyone.

Therefore, I will provide the conditions to determine if medial philtrum reduction is suitable for you.

1. No protrusion of the maxilla and no retraction of the mandible.

- If present, appropriate additional procedures are required.

2. When the skin of the philtrum is longer than the length of the maxilla

(when the philtrum skin appears to cover the upper teeth).

3. When the lip thickness is appropriate and the corners of the mouth are not drooping.

- If present, additional surgery such as lip corner lift surgery is required.

4. When you desire a definite philtrum reduction of 6-10mm due to a long philtrum of 20mm or more.

5. If you have severely oily skin or a keloid-prone skin type, you should carefully consider and decide on the surgery.

Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's medial philtrum reduction surgery

has been performed for over 20 years.

As someone who has focused on mouth shape surgery,

I believe it is one of the most frequently performed surgeries, along with lip corner lift surgery.

This is because, with sufficient consultation with me before surgery,

and consistent management through our clinic's scar management program after surgery,

it is a procedure that can maximize the before-and-after difference in philtrum reduction

and yields the highest customer satisfaction.
