WHY?
Why Golden Diamant tetra scarless philtrum reduction?

  • 01

    A philtrum reduction reborn by addressing the drawbacks
    of the existing scarless philtrum reduction: after incisions
    inside the nose on both sides, four rounds of multiple suturing
    fix the philtrum tissue to the periosteum

    A philtrum reduction that minimises the symptoms of the existing
    scarless philtrum reduction, which is carried out with simple suturing and
    can loosen through movement of the lips, while also giving
    the secondary effect of deepening the philtral groove!

Golden Diamant Tetra Scarless Philtrum Reduction

If you have hesitated over surgery because of the burden of incision, scarring and recovery time

you might consider tetra scarless philtrum reduction.

What is the difference between the existing scarless philtrum reduction and Golden Diamant's own tetra scarless philtrum reduction?

Multi-layer composite suturing minimises loosening caused by movement of the lips,
extending both the effect and its duration, and this surgery also brings the additional
effect of philtral groove surgery, deepening the groove of the philtrum.
It differs from incisional philtrum reduction in efficacy and in the form after surgery, but
it is recommended where a slight change in philtrum length and a lift of the upper lip are wanted.

Golden Diamant's own four-layer suture, non-incisional scarless philtrum reduction!

The existing scarless philtrum reduction has only a small degree of effect and
its duration is too short, so we seldom perform it at our clinic.
However, for those who hesitate because of the recovery period after incisional surgery or fear of
surgery, we have devised and now perform a non-incisional scarless philtrum reduction using
Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery's own four-layer suture method rather than the existing non-incisional approach.

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.

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.
