Want to reduce philtrum length, should I get a lip lift or nose lengthening? (photos)

Asked By:Damien Turner in Birmingham, AL

I am very unhappy with my philtrum length and would like to shorten it somehow. Assuming that the effect on my smile is negligible and ignoring the scar, would a lip lift make my lips look unbalanced or 'off'?
