Golden Diamant Golden View Philtrum Reduction Surgery: Concerns about Scars and Recovery Period

Hello.

I am Song Sang-hoon, the director of Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery.^^

Looking at the calendar, I realize

it is already mid-February 2025,

and this morning, I have a feeling that the rest of this year will pass by like an arrow.

I wonder if all of you,

who are kindly reading this,

are successfully carrying out the goals and plans

you set for the new year.

After operating Golden View Plastic Surgery for 12 years, I newly opened Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery on January 2, 2025.

Thanks to the happy anticipation of our clients

and their immense interest and support,

I am truly having incredibly busy days.

Since I personally meet clients from consultation to procedures and surgeries,

I feel like ten bodies wouldn't be enough,

but a single satisfied smile they show

when they revisit for post-procedure/surgery care or follow-up treatment

fills me with energy.

The direction of Golden View philtrum reduction surgery

is carried out after thorough consultation between myself and the client, tailored to each individual's lip shape and characteristics.

Scar management for each procedure is also

conducted at Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery

using the most appropriate treatment method

according to the type and characteristics of the scar.

First,

let's talk about the recovery period for philtrum reduction surgery.

Philtrum reduction surgery may be accompanied by

swelling and pain for a minimum of several days to 1-2 weeks.

For a few days after surgery, apply cold compresses with an ice pack,

and after one week, apply warm compresses.

It is very important to minimize external stimuli

and get sufficient rest.

Alcohol and smoking should be prohibited for 2-3 weeks before and after surgery.

Especially, nicotine in cigarettes

constricts blood vessels and impedes blood circulation,

which can negatively affect the recovery of the lip area,

which has many capillaries.

You also need to be careful about secondhand smoke and nicotine patches.

For 1-2 months after surgery,

the surgical site may widen,

potentially enlarging the scar.

Therefore, you should be careful not to open your mouth too wide

or laugh excessively,

and it is advisable to refrain from strenuous strength training.

Next,

let's discuss scars and scar management for philtrum reduction surgery.

Golden Diamant Golden View philtrum reduction surgery

is designed to minimize scarring,

with sutures removed in two stages: on the 3rd-4th day and the 5th-6th day.

After suture removal, to minimize tissue separation

during the early regeneration phase,

human-grade surgical glue or taping is applied for one week.

On areas not taped, antibiotic ointment or moisturizer should be applied frequently


to prevent the surgical site from drying out.

After the sutures are removed

and one week has passed,

initial regenerative laser treatment begins.

Subsequently, scar observation is conducted

with three free fractional laser treatments and medication treatments

at one-month intervals.

If necessary, additional steroid scar injections and stem cell treatments are performed.

Due to the unique characteristics of the lips and philtrum area and skin tissue, the delicacy of the surgical process is extremely important.

Surgical skill that accurately understands the characteristics of each skin type,

precisely aligns the incision site,

sutures gently,

and allows for quick suture removal without affecting tissue healing

is the most important point for scarless philtrum reduction surgery.
