Middle Face Reduction Guide: Avoiding the Risks of Philtrum Surgery

Hello! This is Seye Clinic, embracing all the beauty in the world, and led by a Key Doctor (KOL) and Faculty Medical Team who teach and train other medical professionals.

Recently, the "Short Middle Face" has become a major trend for a youthful look. A long middle face (the area between the eyes and the mouth) can often make one appear older or tired. Consequently, many people consider surgical options for quick results.

However, Korean celebrity Lee Ji-hye recently shared her honest experience with Philtrum Reduction side effects on YouTube, raising awareness about the risks of surgery. Surgery can lead to visible scarring or unnatural muscle movements. Today, we will introduce Hilo Wave, a non-surgical alternative that creates a youthful "baby face" without the burdens of surgery.

1. The Risks of Surgery: Philtrum Reduction Side Effects

Before deciding on surgery to shorten the middle face, it is essential to understand the potential risks and recovery time.

• Muscle & Speech Issues: As seen in celebrity cases, the muscles around the mouth can become stiff, or speech can become slurred.
• Scarring and Recovery: Visible scars near the nose and a long downtime can be highly stressful, especially for those in public-facing professions.
• The Bottom Line: To avoid these permanent Philtrum Reduction side effects, one should carefully consider safe, non-surgical methods that offer zero downtime.

2. Shorter Middle Face Without Surgery: How Hilo Wave Works

Hilo Wave is a specialized volume treatment that creates a 3D facial structure, effectively making the middle face look shorter through visual contouring.

• The Mechanism: By adding natural volume to strategic points, the face appears more compact and balanced.
• Combined Benefits: It induces collagen production and deep hydration, improving elasticity without the risk of surgical scarring.
• Target Areas:
• • Front Cheeks: Adds dimension to the middle face.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Supports the mid-face structure and smoothes deep lines.
  • Hollow Cheeks: Corrects the "peanut-shaped" face for a smoother contour.

3. Is Hilo Wave Right for You?

If you desire natural changes and a quick return to daily life, Hilo Wave is an excellent alternative to invasive procedures.

• Fear of Surgery: For those worried about Philtrum Reduction side effects or permanent scarring.
• Youthful Transformation: For those appearing older due to hollow cheeks or a long mid-face.
• Natural Aesthetics: For those who want a subtle "glow-up" rather than an artificial look.
• Zero Downtime: Perfect for busy individuals who need to return to work immediately without bruising or swelling.

4. Custom Design: The Secret to No Regrets

Because Hilo Wave is highly customizable based on skin aging and facial structure, the results depend entirely on the "Who" and "How." Precise injection into the deep dermal layers requires a high level of medical skill.
