Lip Augmentation and Philtrum Reduction Simultaneously! Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's Lateral Philtrum Reduction Surgery
Cheongdam Plastic Surgery offers lateral philtrum reduction surgery to simultaneously address lip augmentation and philtrum reduction, ensuring balanced facial proportions.

Hello.
This is Song Sang-hoon, Chief Director of
Cheongdam Plastic Surgery Golden Diamant.

Lip augmentation and philtrum reduction
may seem like different surgeries, but
they are inevitably considered together as they are crucial factors that determine the proportions of the face's center and mid-to-lower facial area.
If you consider the lips and philtrum separately
and proceed with individual surgeries,
your lips might become fuller, but the length of your philtrum might not appear significantly different, or
the length of your philtrum might shorten, but your lips might look excessively thick.
This could diminish an individual's unique aura or charm, or
greatly affect the overall facial feature proportions.

Therefore, for those who prioritize the overall balance of the mid-to-lower facial area
and wish to achieve both philtrum shortening and lip volume augmentation in appropriate proportions at once,
we will explain today about a suitable plastic surgery:
Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's Lateral Philtrum Reduction Surgery.

Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's Lateral Philtrum Reduction Surgery
is a procedure that enlarges the outer part of the lips by making an incision that changes the slope to an appropriate proportion and size, based on personalized consultation, analysis, and design.
Lateral philtrum reduction involves:
First, planning a customized reduction plan through individual design of the lateral area. Second, appropriately excising, lifting, and fixing the outer lip skin according to the design blueprint.
Finally, with Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's unique
multi-layer and micro-suturing techniques,
we perform highly satisfying surgeries that reduce the burden of scars and side effects while extending the duration of results.

The types of individuals for whom Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's Lateral Philtrum Reduction Surgery is recommended are as follows:
When the upper lip is rolled inward, causing it to disappear when talking or smiling.
When the lips form a ‘ㅅ’ shape, with a large downward angle of the outer line compared to the center of the lips, making one look sad when expressionless.
When the central part of the lips is lifted, making the lips appear protruded.
When the horizontal length of the lips is short, making the lips look small or aged.
When there is asymmetry in the upper lip line, requiring correction on only one side.
When the corners of the mouth are lifted, but the upper lip is thin, and one wishes to balance the proportions of the upper and lower lips.

Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's Lateral Philtrum Reduction Surgery
offers various advantages, such as improving the lip line,
improving lip proportions,
reducing the lateral philtrum, and
improving rolled-in lips.
However, in the process of lifting and suturing the outer upper lip, the corners of the mouth may appear to droop more than before the surgery.
Therefore, it is crucial to carefully decide on the surgery through a one-on-one consultation with a plastic surgeon specializing in lip aesthetics before the procedure.

At Cheongdam Plastic Surgery,
as a ‘20-year experienced plastic surgeon’ and
with extensive know-how in numerous cases of lip aesthetics, I
thoroughly consider individual lip muscle structure, asymmetry, and lip usage habits to
design an ideal lip line and philtrum-to-lip ratio that achieves facial harmony.
After consultation, I perform surgery to create natural and attractive philtrum and lip lines.
