Hivom
Philtrum Contouring Procedure
#With a C-curve Philtrum Line
#Naturally Youthful Appearance
What makes Hivom’s Philtrum Indentation different?
We create the C-curve line through a micro incision inside the mouth!
Unlike traditional philtrum reduction surgery that uses external incisions,
This method creates adhesion through a small incision inside the mouth,
Minimizing visible scarring and stitches on the skin.

No visible incision scars,
But the appearance of a shorter philtrum.
Ideal for those seeking a defined C-curve line.
From the front and side views alike,
Naturally defined and refined C-curve philtrum contouring

Frequently Asked Questions about Philtrum Contouring Surgery
Q. Can the effect loosen or fade after surgery?
A. Because the skin tissue is incised and adhesions are formed, like double eyelid surgery(non-incisional method)
the procedure is permanent, though results may vary depending on individual facial structure.
Q. Will it return to its original state over time?
A. With proper post-operative care, the results will remain naturally maintained over time.
Q. Is this a permanent procedure?
A. Since part of the tissue is resected inside the mouth and adhesions are formed,
it is considered a permanent procedure,though results may vary depending on individual anatomic structure.
