The philtrum or Cupid’s bow is a medial depression than runs from the upper lip to the nose and is bordered by ridges. Although it has no medical function, cosmetically it adds depth to the facial features, creating a perky, upper lip and smile. Our features can tend to flatten as we age and the philtrum often loses definition. Some people are born with an unusually long philtrum area with an upper lip that tends to turn under.A surgical solution of shortening the length of the philtrum area is done by making a small incision under the nostrils, the skin there is trimmed and slightly pulled up and stitches are removed one week later. Taking advantage of nature’s fold to hide the tiny scar. Fillers to create the ridges may still be still be necessary once the area has healed. #philtrum #philtrumreduction #philtrumcorrection #upperliplift #upperlipsurgery #plasticsurgeryinkorea #koreanplasticsurgery #lipreduction #lipaugumentation(MVP Plastic Surgery Korea에서) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxr-POnnj4j/?igshid=1fhkce4q8piqf
