Philtrum Reduction

By making incisions at the lower end of the columella where it connects to the philtrum and along the lower sides of the alar base, scars are relatively less noticeable while both the central and adjacent philtrum skin lengths are improved, allowing you to experience a natural increase in upper lip exposure.

Depending on the alar incision location, alar reduction can also be performed, offering the characteristic of expected correction effects on nostril shape.

When the upper lip is thinner than the lower lip and lip lines are unclear and faint, this surgical method elevates the lip corners while simultaneously reducing the length of the lateral philtrum. Lip lines become distinct, achieving balance in overall lip shape, and as the width of the lateral philtrum narrows, a more defined facial feature can be completed.

A method to adjust the philtrum length by making minimal incisions only on the necessary areas around the labiomental angle, either to reduce only the center philtrum length or to keep scar areas as invisible as possible.

When the central part of the upper lip is thinner compared to both sides, it helps naturally improve proportions and reduce the burden of surgical scars.
