Minimally Invasive Philtrum Reduction Surgery: Golden Diamant Subnasal Central Philtrum Reduction

Hello.

I am Song Sang-hoon,

Chief Director of Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery.

A long philtrum not only alters facial proportions but also

can create an older and stiffer facial impression.

In an era where a short midface and a youthful appearance are trending,

philtrum length reduction has become a key aspect of midface length.

Despite many people desiring philtrum reduction,

the reason they hesitate to proceed is likely

due to concerns about post-operative care and scarring.

Therefore, at Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery,

customers who visit us for philtrum reduction often ask,

Is scarless philtrum reduction possible?

I receive this question frequently.

My answer to that is,

Except for Tetra Scarless Philtrum Reduction, which uses threads for fixation, all philtrum reduction surgeries require an incision, so scarring is inevitable.

We will strive for minimal scarring through a systematic scar care program.

This is how I respond.

Today, for those who are hesitant about philtrum reduction surgery due to this aversion to scars,

among Golden Diamant's various philtrum reduction methods,

I would like to explain a surgical method called subnasal philtrum reduction

that reduces the size of the scar through minimal incision.

Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery's subnasal central philtrum reduction surgery

differs from general philtrum reduction surgery.

By making a minimal incision at the central subnasal area (the starting point of the philtrum),

it is Golden Diamant's unique philtrum reduction method that can shorten the philtrum by 2-6mm.

After performing a custom incision at the central subnasal area according to the individual's lip shape,

it is a method of reducing the philtrum by lifting the center of the upper lip.

Since it is a surgery involving very small incisions and sutures,

the skill and know-how of the surgeon are extremely important.

Minimally invasive philtrum reduction surgery

is most effective for individuals whose upper lip is not significantly rolled inward and whose upper lip is not very thin.

It is the surgery that can achieve the greatest effect.

Furthermore, in cases of columellar retraction,

columellar correction, which is difficult to resolve with nose surgery alone, can be achieved through philtrum reduction surgery. However,

for those whose columella is naturally slightly descended,

it may appear even more descended after surgery, so

sufficient consultation must precede the surgery.

The distinguishing features of Golden Diamant's subnasal philtrum reduction surgery are as follows:

The incision design is customized according to each individual's lip shape, ensuring that the upper lip's natural form and volume are maintained as much as possible, rather than just lifting the center of the lip, while only reducing the length of the philtrum.

The philtrum tissue is lifted and sutured to the periosteum to minimize the philtrum lengthening again due to use after surgery, and sutures are performed to minimize the tension that causes the sutured area to spread apart, thereby minimizing scarring.

Through a surgical method that completely separates and sutures the nostril floor to prevent alar base depression, the disappearance of the alar base due to philtrum reduction surgery is prevented.

Through subnasal central philtrum reduction surgery, the philtral column is also naturally created, and C-curl philtrum concavity surgery is performed together without additional cost.

At Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery, we offer over 7 different surgical methods tailored to each individual's lip shape,

providing personalized philtrum reduction surgery.

If you desire subnasal central philtrum reduction but

your upper lip is too thin or the angle of your upper lip is too large,

Hybrid Philtrum Reduction (Subnasal Central + Lateral Lift)

may be performed to enlarge the upper lip while reducing the philtrum.

At Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery,

from consultation to design, surgery, and scar care,

I, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience specializing in lip surgery, and the client

proceed through all stages together.
