Comedian Meng Seung-ji reveals drastically changed face after philtrum reduction surgery

Comedian Meng Seung-ji has unveiled a dramatically altered appearance following cosmetic surgery, sharing her journey after 12 years without procedures. She revealed on social media that she underwent surgery to shorten her philtrum, along with related procedures for the philtral dimple and lip corners. Meng Seung-ji explained that she had felt her philtrum was too long for about five years, but had previously refrained from surgery due to the significant risk of scarring. She had tried non-surgical treatments, which were temporary, leading her to draw her philtrum with makeup daily. After extensive research and consultation, she found a clinic and surgeon specializing in philtrum reduction with a focus on natural results and minimal scarring. She described the surgeon as more meticulous than herself about scars and naturalness. The comedian emphasized that she chose the clinic carefully, considering the high stakes of cosmetic surgery, and underwent the procedure after long deliberation. She shared before-and-after photos, noting that in the week-post-surgery images, her lips were still swollen. Meng Seung-ji believes the shorter philtrum makes her appear younger.

I thought my philtrum seemed a bit long for five years. But the mid-face ratio was short, so it was bearable.
