Philtrum surgery definitely feels like it shortens the length itself, whereas you can think of philtrum sculpting injections as more about refining the lines around the mouth. It likely depends on the degree of change you want.

I wanted a natural look, so I got philtrum sculpting injections. I had it done at Blanc de Vie in Apgujeong. It wasn't a dramatic change, but I felt like my features became a bit more defined.

Surgery is definitely better than injections ^^ To minimize scarring in the first place! Also, I recommend Lush for excellent post-operative care. Perhaps because the director is a woman, the attention to detail is definitely different.

The recovery period for injections is probably short, too...? I was debating about injections but went straight for reduction instead. If you are looking for a clinic for the philtrum, try visiting Choi Woo-shik at OnDo first. A lot of people go there for the philtrum because the scarring is minimized and barely visible.
