Thank you for your thoughtful question—it's clear you're considering facial balance carefully, which is a valuable starting point when exploring aesthetic changes. However, there are a few important points to keep in mind: Photo Limitations and Single-Angle ViewsThe photograph provided shows only part of your face and from a single angle, which makes it difficult to assess overall facial proportions accurately. Aesthetic evaluation relies on multiple views (frontal, lateral, and dynamic expressions), as well as seeing how features interact in motion. Isolated or partial photos can be misleading when planning changes to facial structure. Beauty Is Not Defined by One RatioFacial harmony is not based on any single measurement, such as the philtrum length or nose projection. Instead, it emerges from the proportional relationships among the nose, lips, chin, and midface. Attempting to adjust one feature without understanding its effect on the whole may lead to an unnatural or unbalanced appearance—even if a specific ratio seems improved. If This Area Is Your Primary ConcernIf your main focus is improving the relationship between your nose and philtrum, particularly when the upper lip appears long or lacks definition, a lip lift may offer a more targeted and effective solution than lengthening the nose. This procedure shortens the philtrum and can enhance facial balance without altering nasal structure. A full facial assessment by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, ideally using clinical photography and physical examination, would provide a clearer sense of what options may work best for your unique anatomy. Wishing you well-informed decisions and natural-looking results,
