I've had a long philtrum since I can remember (I'm 31 now). My lips are also very thin & oddly shaped. The middle of my top lip comes down to a point & almost overlaps my bottom lip, like a turtle. I had jaw surgery 15 yrs ago to fix TMJ & crossbite. My jaw/bite is still off a bit, which adds more oddness to my lips.
