What is a Philtrum Reduction?
Philtrum reduction surgery involves the removal of skin beneath the nose to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip. This procedure aims to create a more harmonious facial balance and address an elongated appearance caused by a longer philtrum.
How Philtrum Length Affects Your Appearance:
The philtrum significantly influences facial aesthetics. A disproportionately long or short philtrum can disrupt balance, even if other features are well-aligned:
- Long Philtrum: May make the face appear aged or overly elongated.
- Short Philtrum: Can cause the face to look unnaturally small.
By adjusting the philtrum length, the surgery restores facial proportions and enhances a youthful, refined appearance.
Ideal Philtrum Proportions:
While there isn’t a universal standard, the ideal ratio is often described as a 1:2 proportion between the philtrum and chin. Achieving this ratio can significantly improve facial harmony.
Who Benefits from Philtrum Reduction?
This surgery is ideal for those who:
- Have naturally long philtrums that elongate the face.
- Notice lengthened philtrums due to aging or jaw surgery.
- Seek to restore youthful proportions for a more balanced look.
Techniques & Recovery:
The two primary techniques are:
- Subnasal (Bullhorn) Approach: A small incision under the nose.
- Lip Lift with Cupid’s Bow Enhancement: Adjusts lip curves for a natural finish.
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia, with a recovery period of 5–7 days.
For maximum results, consult a skilled cosmetic surgeon who can personalize the approach to your facial structure.
