Philtrum reduction surgery
Move < > to see the before and after changes for yourself.
Medial philtrum reduction
This is a method that reduces the overall length by making an incision in the lower part of the nose and adjusting the space between the tip of the nose and the upper lip.
This procedure is performed when the nose and lips are disproportionate, or when the lips curl inward, making the philtrum appear long.
Lateral philtrum reduction
It refers to the area outside the centerline and is a method to reduce the part where both corners of the mouth and the nostrils connect.
When the philtrum skin is thick and extends down, making the lip line indistinct, or when the upper lip is thin compared to the lower lip
It lifts the corners of the mouth together with the nose to shorten the length of the philtrum.

Philtrum reduction surgery technology
We demonstrate our focus, technical expertise, and results in philtrum reduction surgery.
Philtrum reduction + upper lip lifting effects all in one
By adjusting the degree of upper lip elevation simultaneously while performing philtrum reduction You can even expect an upper lip lifting effect.
A-Top does not simply reduce the philtrum, but rather considers the individual's philtrum length, degree of upper lip curling, lip thickness, shape, etc.
We formulate a surgical plan based on comprehensive considerations to make the mid-face appear shorter.
Scar-reducing suturing technique
Over time after philtrum reduction, the nostrils may become elongated.
In order to prevent this A-Top uses a double suture that fixes the fascia and dermis, and the dermis and epidermis, simultaneously by holding the facial bone as a fixed axis. We will proceed.
Post-operative satisfaction is high because the probability of side effects such as tip lifting, nasal wing drooping, and widening of the incision is low.
