Why is my philtrum so short? Can I do anything about it?

RealSelfMember209848930
My philtrum is very very short. I’m very self conscious of it and the way it looks. When I smile, it’s like my philtrum gets even smaller. I’ve never seen anyone with as short a philtrum as I have. Why do I have such a short philtrum? What caused it and is there anything I can do about it? Thank you.
