Hello.

I am Song Sang-hoon, the head director of

Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery in Cheongdam-dong.

Cheongdam-dong Plastic Surgery Clinic Specializing in Philtrum Reduction and Lip Corner Lift Surgery

As a plastic surgeon specializing in perioral surgery for a long time,

I have witnessed not only a balanced and beautiful transformation in our clients' appearance through philtrum reduction and perioral surgery,

but also a change in their expressions and attitudes towards life

as they overcome complexes that have bothered them for a long time.

Many people who visit

(formerly) Golden View Plastic Surgery in Cheongdam-dong

(currently) Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery,

which focuses on perioral treatments,

come with concerns such as ‘my philtrum is long, making me look old’...
or ‘my downturned lip corners make me look tired and gloomy all the time’...

After much deliberation, they seek out our clinic.

To perform successful mid-to-lower facial surgery for such clients,

Golden Diamant, a clinic specializing in perioral surgery,

does not perform cookie-cutter surgeries that only consider the individual ratios and angles of the philtrum, lips, and lip corners.


Instead, we consider the individual's lower facial ratio, facial midline, and lip shape

to create a personalized perioral design where the philtrum and lips harmonize beautifully,

making it our top priority to find the most suitable lip shape for each individual.

Today, let's learn more about philtrum reduction and lip corner lift surgery performed at Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery in Cheongdam-dong, which designs the ideal lip shape for you.

Golden Diamant's lip corner lift surgery

incorporates differentiated techniques unique to our clinic

to minimize scars and unnaturalness.

First, dermal grafting helps prevent

indentations and perioral wrinkles that can occur in the outer lower part of the lip corners after surgery.


Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery's lip corner lift surgery involves weakening the depressor anguli oris muscle and strengthening the levator anguli oris muscle through a triangular skin incision, followed by suspension sutures.

This can lead to shadowed indentations and perioral wrinkles in the lower part of the lip corners.


To prevent this,

after assessing each individual's lip shape before surgery, we perform dermal grafting through a customized design to create natural-looking lip corners that feel like your own.

Dermal grafting can be performed using either artificial dermis or autologous dermis.

Since autologous dermis is harvested from an area that is not externally visible,

you can reduce concerns about scarring.


Second, depending on the individual's upper lip inclination,

we perform lateral lip lift surgery along with the lip corner lift surgery

to create a gently continuous Cupid's bow and lip corners,


rather than an unnatural lip angle.

If the upper lip is too thin or has a triangular shape, performing only a lip corner lift surgery could potentially lead to an unnatural appearance, like a ‘Joker's smile’.

Therefore, at our specialized perioral surgery clinic in Cheongdam-dong,

we perform a natural lip corner lift surgery that balances the upper lip ratio by combining it with a partial or total lateral lip lift of the upper lip,

thereby completing a beautiful lip shape.


Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery's 'philtrum reduction surgery'

offers a total of six different methods,

allowing for customized philtrum reduction based on individual skin elasticity, philtrum length, and harmony with the lip shape and lower face.
