January 2, 2015
Asked By:RSMember5259 in Slagle, LA

I am wondering if any surgeon out there know how to create a philtrum dimple surgically. I know its possible to create philtral ridges with dermal grafts and combine it with removing subcutenous tissue in the area. I would still want it to be created without any foreign substances such as dermal grafts. Aint this possible ?

Michael Stefan, MD says:

I believe to achieve the results you desire, you would need an excision of the tendon producing the two creases. I would perform a wedge excision, including the lower lip vermillion. I do not think it can be treated by a more conservative treatment.
