Philtrum Reduction Lift
“ A Shorter Philtrum, A Younger Impression ”
- What Is Philtrum Reduction Lift?
- This is a procedure that shortens the elongated philtrum from beneath the nose to the upper lip, creating a youthful and balanced facial proportion. As the philtrum elongates with age and creates an older impression, shortening and defining the philtrum achieves a youthful effect that makes one appear 5–10 years younger.

Key Differentiators
- Youthful Appearance Through Ideal Proportions
- The philtrum-to-chin length ratio is brought to the ideal 1:2 to complete a youthful appearance.
- Scar Minimization Technique
- With a naturally concealed sub-nasal incision and tension-distributing suture technique, scarring is virtually invisible. At ZELL Plastic Surgery, there has not been a single case of dissatisfaction regarding scarring.
- Fine Adjustment of Upper Lip Eversion
- By adjusting the tension of the subcutaneous muscles, the degree of upper lip eversion is finely controlled according to each individual's needs.
- Plan
Surgical Method
- Incision
- Skin incision made along the natural crease beneath the nose
- Skin and Muscle Excision
- The designed skin is excised and the amount of muscle excision and tension are adjusted according to each individual's degree of upper lip eversion.
- Suturing
- Layered closure and tension-distributing suture techniques minimize scarring.
Treatment Benefits
1- A Balanced Face
- As the philtrum is shortened, the central area of the face achieves a more balanced impression.
2- Improved Facial Proportions
- The overall vertical proportion of the face becomes more harmonious, creating a smaller and neater facial shape.
3- Voluminous Lips and Natural Results
- As the upper lip lifts with added volume, the previously hidden upper teeth are revealed, creating a more defined mouth shape.
4- A Youthful and Vibrant Impression
- As the elongated philtrum is shortened, the overall impression becomes noticeably younger and more vibrant.
