Philtrum shortening
INDEX
This procedure shortens the philtrum by making an incision under the nose and removing skin and orbicularis oris muscle. Shortening
the philtrum creates a mid-face shortening effect and improves the appearance of a long face.

Features of Our Philtrum Reduction Procedure
At our clinic, we employ various techniques to thoroughly minimize the visibility of scars in the philtrum area. Specifically
, this involves the angle of skin incisions, the extent of subcutaneous dissection, management of the orbicularis oris muscle, and suturing methods. We also take care to preserve the nasal floor ridge to prevent distortion of the nostril shape. We are dedicated
to achieving significant improvement while ensuring the scar itself remains aesthetically pleasing.
