Retmus Plastic Surgery
Revisional Lip Lift More Challenging
Than the First Procedure,
Retmus Begins Differently.
A lip lift is a highly delicate procedure that plays a critical role in achieving harmony in the midface.
Because of this, it requires a high level of surgical expertise.
Revisional lip lift is even more demanding, as it must address pre-existing scars and the aftereffects of a previous procedure. This requires a far more meticulous and precise approach than the initial surgery.
At Retmus, tissue adhesion, asymmetry, scarring, and other issues caused by previous surgeries are thoroughly analyzed from an anatomical perspective before proceeding with the revision.
This is not a simple resection and closure of the skin— it is a complete structural redesign aimed at improving both the existing scar and the length of the philtrum.

Revision, and why it is more difficult.
A revisional lip lift is far more complex than the first procedure.
This is because multiple factors must be considered simultaneously.
Existing Scars
A horizontal scar beneath the nose
(such as a noticeable linear scar
or hypertrophic scar)
may still be present.
Lack of Skin Flexibility
Because the philtrum has already been shortened through previous resection, there are limitations in redesigning the area.
Loss of Nasal Sils
As the scar from
the incision migrates downward,
the nasal sils may collapse,
leading to increased nostril exposure.
Tissue Adhesion
After the previous surgery,
the skin and underlying tissue
may have adhered together,
making dissection more difficult.
Anatomical Factors
Structural limitations,
such as the length of the maxilla,
can make it difficult for the patient
to fully close the mouth.
Psychological Burden
It is important to
restore the patient’s trust
following a previous
surgical failure.
“Scars Designed to Be Invisible, No Need to Hide”
Retmus Revisional Lip Lift
Structure-Focused Design
At Retmus, we do not simply re-cut the previous incision. The skin, muscle, and mucosal layers are carefully separated, and the direction and tension of the muscles are realigned to restore natural lip movement and proportion.
Precise Structural Redesign
Under the expertise of Dr. Seungil Chung, each patient’s skeletal structure, muscle movement, and lip shape are analyzed in detail to achieve an ideal nasolabial angle and side profile. This is not just a correction—it is a harmonious redesign of the entire face.
Restoring Natural Harmony
The goal of Retmus revisional lip lift is not just ‘to shorten the philtrum’, but to achieve a natural look as if it were never altered. Scars are minimized while restoring the face’s original proportions, balance, and softness of expression.

Revision Incision Method
A Retmus revisional lip lift is not simply “doing it again.” It is an anatomical redesign that takes external factors into account and corrects even the existing scars.

Retmus Revisional Lip Lift Method
Here is an overview of the surgical method for a revisional lip lift.
- Method 01
- Scar and Tissue Analysis with Incision Redesign (Hidden Scar Design)
The previous incision is removed and a new, invisible incision line is designed to ensure that the scar is not visible.
- Method 02
- Muscle Layer Restoration
Altered muscles are carefully separated and realigned to restore natural lip movement and facial expressions.
- Method 03
- Skin and Mucosal Layer Repositioning with Fine Suturing
Tissue tension is balanced, and micro-level suturing is applied to minimize lifting and reduce scarring.
- Method 04
- Aftercare Management
Sutures are removed 5–7 days after surgery, followed by step-by-step scar care.
Retmus Revisional Lip Lift Key Point
- Ideal Facial Proportions
- Point 01
- Achieving the ideal balance between the nose, philtrum, and lips.
- Point 02
At Retmus Plastic Surgery,
a revisional lip lift is a customized redesign procedure, reflecting the extensive expertise of Dr. Seungil Chung.
Even after the first surgery, if the philtrum still appears long or if scars and asymmetry create an unnatural appearance, Retmus’ precise structural redesign can restore facial balance and natural harmony.

Scar is designed to be invisible without the need for concealment
Muscle direction and tension are realigned to restore natural expressions
Individual skeletal structure, muscle movement, and lip shape are analyzed to achieve the most ideal nasolabial angle and side profile.
In addition, it can prevent flaring of the nostrils, and alar narrowing can be performed if needed. For patients with a flat facial appearance, simultaneous tip rhinoplasty and columella surgery can further refine the overall balance between the philtrum and the nose.

Retmus’ Unique Differentiation
“Hide the scars, reveal the dimension.
This is what sets Retmus apart.”
- HIDDEN SCAR – Minimizing Scars
- Incisions and sutures are placed so that scars are not visible externally, minimizing their appearance.
- Artistic Design Sense
- The face is analyzed with the precision of a portrait artist, allowing for a customized design and surgical plan optimized for each individual.
- Three-Dimensional Transformation & Smaller Face Effect
- The flat philtrum is reshaped into a C-curve line, making the face appear smaller and more three-dimensional.
- Natural Volume
- Adding three-dimensional volume to the philtrum enhances overall facial balance and harmony.
- Premium Technique
- An original method personally developed by Dr. Chung, ensuring a delicate and safe surgical procedure.
Postoperative Precautions
Here are some important guidelines to follow after surgery.
- Q.
-
# Revisional Lip LiftPatient
When can I have a revisional lip lift?
-
# Revisional Lip Lift Retmus Plastic Surgery
It is usually possible after at least 6 months have passed since the first surgery, once the tissues have stabilized.
- A.
- Q.
-
# Revisional Lip LiftPatient
Will the scars get worse?
-
# Revisional Lip LiftRetmus Plastic Surgery
At Retmus, incisions are made through the columella or inside the nostrils so that no scars are visible externally. Special suturing techniques are applied to minimize scarring.

- Q.
-
# Revisional Lip Lift Patient
Can my philtrum become long again after surgery?
-
# Revisional Lip Lift Retmus Plastic Surgery
At Retmus, we do not simply suture the area. The muscles are anchored to the columella, minimizing the risk of recurrence.
