Is It Possible to Get a Permanent Indent for a Flat Philtrum Through Plastic Surgery?

Your question is a good one. The answer is based in the literature for secondary cleft lip reconstruction. There are numerous well documented techniques that all experienced Plastic Surgeons should know. Recreating a philtral column and creating a philtrum dimple are parts of the same procedure. Creating a cupid's bow is a bit more elusive but is still possible. Most cleft surgeons would consider it amateurish to put foreign material of any kind into a lip to create contour.

Thanks for your question!

I suggest seeing a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who is skilled with using dermal fillers and being assessed for lip sculpturing with dermal fillers. It's not a permanent solution, but based on what you describe I think it is the best approach to your problem.

Be sure to find someone who understands what you are after and have a frank discussion with your surgeon or physician about the outcome you are after.

Good luck! JT
