ImpressionChanges

The philtrum is located in the center of the face, and depending on its position and length, a person's impression can appear significantly different.

A long philtrum can make the face look longer and create an older-looking impression. Diva Plastic Surgery considers the proportions of the lips, chin, and the entire face together to design the ideal philtrum length.

Frequently Asked Questions

The appropriate amount varies depending on the philtrum length, lip shape, and facial proportions. During the consultation, we analyze your proportions and determine a natural range together.
