Is my philtrum too long or misshapen for a Lip Lift? (Photo)

vnsasntna
I have an excessively long philtrum at 18mm. I also feel as if it’s shaped oddly (very wide) compared to most I’ve seen. I have long wanted a lip lift but have read that 5-6” mm is the maximum. I don’t want my mouth to be permanently open and I also already have a large lower lip that I don’t want to accentuate. Is there a surgical solution for this?
