Those for whom Golden Diamant philtrum reduction is suitable

The ideal philtrum ratio, 1:2
Creating a balanced face with the ideal philtrum ratio!
The ideal philtrum length is when the philtrum and the chin are in a 1:2 ratio; the balance of the face is then most natural and the features are shown to best effect.
Taking the ideal philtrum length as its standard, Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery reduces a long philtrum that makes you look older, after a custom design matched to your facial proportions, bringing a stable result. Above all it is important to pursue beauty that achieves balance across the whole face rather than philtrum reduction for its own sake, and the key point is a custom design that brings out your own natural individuality.
The technical skill of Dr. Song Sang-hoon, who has studied only the perioral area
More than seven different As a philtrum reduction method Custom design planning
From the many years of experience of Dr. Song Sang-hoon of Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery, we hold more than seven philtrum reduction methods. A custom design suited to your own face shape therefore raises your satisfaction with the surgery.
With a custom design according to each person's condition, procedures such as a subnasal incision, a lateral lip lift and a combined incision are carried out.

Golden Diamant Philtrum Reduction
Golden Diamant philtrum reduction involves completely separating the nasal tissue and philtrum tissue, which differ in thickness and tissue characteristics, anchoring and suturing using the philtrum tissue as a base, and then shortening and suturing the muscle, and reinforcing the tissue at the incision site to reduce tissue indentations. This helps achieve a delicate surgery by minimizing post-operative nasal shape deformities such as scarring and alar flaring.
A mouth shape whose centre is lifted may have that lifting worsen after surgery, as in ‘penguin lips’, so thorough consultation before surgery is necessary.
Compared with the drawbacks of the existing subnasal-incision philtrum reduction
01
Less deformation of the shape of the nose and the nostril floor
A technique that prevents hollowing of the subnasal soft tissue is used Drawback of the existing technique — alar spreading and deformation of the nostril floor
02
Less change in the slope of the lips
A technique in which lateral elevation of the upper lip is carried out at the same time Drawback of the existing technique — only the centre of the lip is lifted
03
Less scarring
A technique using multi-layer suturing and periosteal fixation Drawback of the existing technique — scarring such as hypertrophic scars
04
Philtral groove surgery included
A technique in which the philtral groove is formed naturally at the same time Drawback of the existing technique — philtral groove surgery must be added separately

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.
01An aftercare kit tailored to each operation is provided
02Scar-prevention medication and scar treatment gel are prescribed
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
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.
