Is 12 mm philtrum too short for a lip lift? (Photo)

fcidashfoiaehf
I am somewhat like the girl in the photo, I have OK lips and a short philtrum, but my upper lip does not show to my liking and my bottom lip looks bigger in comparison. I want to perfect my pout, specifically the shape. I want a more "heart shaped" mouth. I think it would make me look more feminine. I have a concern, since my philtrum is already 12 mm, I'm scared of being turned away at a consultation. Is it even worth trying? I am also in my early twenties.
