A custom ‘philtrum augmentation’
designed precisely for you

WHY?
Why Golden Diamant philtrum augmentation?

  • 01

    A board-certified plastic surgeon
    who has performed perioral surgery specially for over 20 years

    With Dr. Song Sang-hoon's surgical know-how,
    the surgical method is varied to suit each mouth shape,
    for an individually tailored design that minimises scarring

  • 02

    Not simply stretching the skin
    of the philtrum area,

    but adjusting the force of the philtrum muscles
    for a natural extension of length

  • 03

    For fundamental improvement that considers
    the structural balance of the face

    One-to-one tailored consultation for
    natural, harmonious proportions

Philtrum augmentation!
We recommend it if you have these concerns!

  1. 01Where the gums show when smiling (a GUMMY SMILE)
  2. 02Where the philtrum is excessively short and dental orthodontic treatment alone cannot resolve it
  3. 03Where the philtrum is congenitally short
  4. 04Where the nasal tip is lifted by contracture after nose surgery, making the philtrum look short
  5. 05Where you want to improve facial proportions (where the length from the eyes to the lips is short)
  6. 06Where you want a youthful image but the philtrum is so short that you look too young

Golden Diamant's own philtrum augmentation
is performed like this

  1. 01Incision inside the lip
    The mucosa inside the mouth is incised and, through movement, the position and size of the
    levator labii superioris and the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi are confirmed.
  2. 02Selective excision of those muscles alone
    The levator labii superioris and the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi,
    whose position and size have been confirmed, are selectively excised.
  3. 03Haemostasis then compression dressing
    Bleeding is stopped thoroughly and tight suturing and a compression dressing are used.

Golden Diamant stays with you through recovery

Golden Diamant continues to monitor your recovery even after surgery or a procedure is finished.

Where the medical team judges that scar care is needed because of an incision or tissue harvesting, a scar care programme using Fraxel laser and scar-reducing medication is provided up to three times at no additional cost, according to the state of recovery.

If a scar remains after basic care or further treatment is needed, the medical team checks the condition in person and advises on the care required from among more than six lasers, more than four medications and stem cell treatment.

We do not stop at the surgery or procedure; we check the course of recovery carefully and continue the care that is needed.

1:1 Consultation (new window)
Scar care equipment including a Fraxel laser, and vials of the medications used
  1. 01An aftercare kit tailored to each operation is provided
  2. 02Scar-prevention medication and scar treatment gel are prescribed
  3. 03Where the medical team judges it necessary, a scar care programme such as Fraxel laser is run up to three times from the second week after surgery
  4. 04Where further treatment is needed, a scar treatment programme is run

*Side effects such as bleeding / swelling / scarring may occur
*However, whether side effects occur may differ from person to person, and recovery times may vary.
