FOUR SEASONS PLASTIC SURGERY

Turn a flat, long philtrum into a short, dimensional one
The key to a shorter midface

The length and shape of the philtrum affect the position of the lips and the proportions of the lower face, and can shape the overall impression. In particular, a long-looking philtrum can make the face look long and mature. Four Seasons Plastic Surgery does not focus simply on reducing the length of the philtrum. We carefully consider the proportions and dimensionality of the face running from the tip of the nose through the philtrum and lips to the tip of the chin,
and plan the surgery that suits each individual. More important than a philtrum that is simply short is its harmony with the whole face. Rather than excessive change, we pursue proportions that blend naturally with your own facial structure,
completing a more balanced impression.

For a midface that looks beautifully short,
the ideal philtrum ratio is 1:2

Four Seasons Plastic Surgery
performs 1:1 customized surgery
based on the proportions of the overall face and the philtrum.

Rather than simply making the philtrum short,
we put the harmony of the whole face first
and determine the appropriate range of reduction.
