Philtrum Shortening - Is a Botox lip flip an option?

October 12, 2021
Asked By:mo123mc in Atlanta, Georgia

I would like to know what my options are to shorten my philtrum. I am 30 and have read that being young and having keloid scarring is not a good combination for that procedure. I do not have a gummy smile and do not want a procedure that will reduce upper teeth show. I don't like the idea of fillers to shorten it because I have read that fillers can weigh down the upper lip, which would lengthen the philtrum even more in the long run. Is a botox lip flip a good option?
