When you look for philtrum reduction reviews,

most of them contain similar comments.

I’m satisfied with the results now that the swelling has gone down.

There is barely any scarring.

But when surgery is actually approaching,

there are other things people truly want to know.

How much bleeding to expect, whether removing the stitches hurts,

and when it is possible to go outside without a mask.

These are topics that reviews do not often cover.

In this post, we will organize the practical information

that would have made the process much less stressful

if you had known it before surgery.

Scarring Concerns: The Incision Location Makes the Difference

Philtrum Reduction Review

I heard that philtrum reduction surgery

leaves a scar. Is that really true?

This is the question we hear most often in the consultation room.

Many people decide to undergo surgery because they are concerned about the philtrum,

but end up hesitating at the last minute because of worries about scarring.

It is easy to understand why they feel that way:

the philtrum is located at the very center of the face,

so even a slightly visible scar can inevitably stand out.

What matters is not simply whether a scar remains,

but where the scar is located.

Because philtrum reduction involves removing skin,

an incision itself cannot be avoided.

However, where that incision is concealed

depends entirely on the surgical method.

In the past, incisions directly beneath the nose or above the lip line

were commonly used.

Although effective, these incisions were located where scars could easily be seen.

In particular, because of the skin characteristics of East Asians,

scars can sometimes become prominent.

We have seen people express regret about scarring

after undergoing surgery using this method.

For this reason, we now place the incision inside the nostrils.

Even when it needs to be extended slightly toward the alar area,

the scar remains along the inner boundary of the nose,

which can greatly reduce how much it is exposed when viewed from the front.

In addition to removing skin,

we may also tie and lift the tissue from the inside with sutures.

This approach can help improve the length of the philtrum

while minimizing the amount of skin removed.

However, this method is not suitable for everyone.

For example, if the philtrum is excessively long

or there are structural issues involving the nose and lips,

it may be difficult to achieve the desired change

with this procedure alone.

For such cases, we provide patients with an honest explanation

at the consultation stage.

Even when the surgical method is carefully designed,

the results may be affected if postoperative care is neglected.

We will continue with that topic below.

The Week Before Stitch Removal: The Reality No One Talks About

Philtrum Reduction Review

I wish I had known in advance

how to manage daily life after surgery.

It would have made me much less anxious.

The recovery process is another aspect

that is not often covered in review posts.

But once the surgery is over,

this is what feels most real.

For about one to two days immediately after surgery,

a small amount of blood may come from inside the nose.

It may be alarming the first time you see it,

but this can occur as the incision heals.

The most important thing at this time is not to touch the inside of the nose.

Repeatedly wiping it with a cotton swab or sniffing forcefully

can cause inflammation at the wound site.

It is sufficient to gently dab away any flowing blood with gauze,

and it is best not to touch the wound inside the nose.

Swelling is usually at its most severe on the third day,

and the stitches are removed on the seventh day.

Many people say that they finally feel able to return to their daily routines

after the stitches are removed.

In fact, makeup can be applied starting the day after stitch removal,

so wearing a mask is essential during the first week after surgery.

Therefore, it is advisable to schedule surgery

with approximately ten days of flexibility

for the wound to heal and the area to look natural.

There is one more thing you must take care of:

sun protection.

As the cells in the surgical area regenerate,

the area becomes particularly vulnerable to hyperpigmentation

for about two months.

Therefore, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays during this period

may increase the likelihood of the scar becoming discolored.

We recommend applying sunscreen carefully whenever you go outside.

Even if the incision is carefully concealed,

neglecting this aspect can lead to less satisfactory scar care.

It is therefore one of the points we emphasize especially

when providing postoperative instructions.

Philtrum reduction is a relatively simple procedure,

but both the surgical method and recovery care

directly affect the results.

In consultations, we have often seen cases

where the final outcome was changed by something as small as the location of a scar

or a single habit during the recovery period.

At 글로비성형외과의원, our principle is to provide realistic information

before surgery, just as much as we focus on achieving good results.

This is because we believe that honestly explaining potential complications

is the starting point for making the right choice.

or which approach would be appropriate,
