If you are looking for reviews of philtrum reduction surgery,

you are probably at a stage where you are seriously considering the procedure.

You may be curious about the experiences of people who have had it done,

whether the results are truly satisfying,

and how natural the effects really are,

wanting to examine everything one by one.

Because it is an important surgery that determines the harmony of the center of the face,

it is only natural to compare and think carefully before deciding.

However, when looking through reviews,

there is something that is easy to overlook.

Even for the same philtrum reduction surgery,

the results can differ depending on whether it suits your facial structure

and whether other areas connected to the philtrum were also considered together.

In this post, before deciding on philtrum reduction surgery,

I will point out the two key things that can be helpful for you to know.

If you read to the end, the 기준 for choosing a surgery

will become much clearer.

Is it the right surgery for my face?

Review of Philtrum Reduction Surgery

When you search for reviews of philtrum reduction surgery,

there are cases where satisfaction levels differ dramatically.

If we analyze the reasons for those differences in results,

we can find one common pattern:

whether the person’s facial structure was actually a suitable case for this surgery.

Review of Philtrum Reduction Surgery

Among the people who come in for consultations, there are those who say they are worried because their philtrum looks long.

However, the first thing to distinguish is whether the philtrum skin itself is long,

or whether the midface appears long because of protrusion from the bone structure or bite alignment.

Philtrum reduction surgery can be effective when the issue is the length of the skin.

If the problem comes from the oral structure or facial skeleton,

it is true that a standalone surgery alone may not deliver the level of improvement you are hoping for.

Therefore, I think it is right to explain that clearly during the consultation.

To explain a bit further,

the length of the philtrum is anatomically defined as the distance from

the base of the columella (the bottom of the nose column)

to the vermilion border of the upper lip (the starting point of the upper lip).

When this distance is actually long,

removing an appropriate amount of skin under the nose and lifting it

can create a three-dimensional change that makes the lips look slightly fuller,

visually making the philtrum appear shorter.

In many cases, the overall impression becomes softer and more youthful,

and patients feel the improvement.

This is often where differences in review satisfaction arise.

At Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic,

we address this point first during consultations.

That is because, before recommending surgery,

we believe it is right to check whether meaningful improvement is actually possible.

This does not mean you must come to us.

Wherever you go for a consultation,

we recommend checking whether they first make this distinction.

How to address the philtrum, nose, and scars together

Review of Philtrum Reduction Surgery

If you have confirmed that you are a suitable case,

there is one more thing to look at next.

When learning about philtrum reduction surgery,

talk about nose surgery sometimes comes up as well.

At first, you may wonder why the two are connected,

but we believe this part is more important than you might think.

This is because the height of the nasal tip and the length of the philtrum

affect each other visually.

If the nasal tip is low, the space under the nose looks wider,

and the philtrum feels longer,

on the other hand, if the nasal tip is raised, that space

looks more compressed, creating the effect of a shorter-looking philtrum.

So, if you are considering both philtrum length and nasal tip height,

it can lead to a much more natural result to consider them together.

There is also an advantage in terms of the surgical method.

At Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic,

when performing philtrum reduction surgery,

we also use a method that places the incision inside the nostril.

This is to hide the scar as much as possible inside the nose.

If the incision is made directly below the philtrum or above the lip line,

the effect is clear,

but due to the characteristics of Asian skin,

there is a possibility that a noticeable scar may remain.

On the other hand, placing the incision inside the nostril helps reduce the burden of visible scarring.

And when this method is combined with nose surgery,

it can be structurally easier to work more precisely because the same access route can be shared.

Of course, it would not be appropriate to recommend nose surgery to someone who only needs adjustment of the philtrum length.

However, if you are considering both procedures together,

I think it is better to consult about them together from the beginning

so that you do not feel regret later.

Philtrum reduction surgery comes with scar concerns

along with its benefits.

You need to consider both whether you are a suitable case and how the incision will be made.

Only when you look at these two things together will you avoid disappointment later.

If you have been 고민ing for a long time, I recommend spending as much time on consultation as you do searching through reviews.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.

※ All surgeries and procedures can cause side effects such as bleeding, reduced sensitivity, scarring, and inflammation depending on the individual’s constitution and condition, so we recommend making a careful decision through sufficient consultation with a qualified medical professional.
