Can my lip lift be done only on the sides of my lips rather than the Cupid's bow? (Photo)

Bam215Oct 13, 2017
My lips pretty much disappear on the sides I'm okay with the fullness right by the Cupid's bow, I've also tried lifting my lip from the Cupid's bow just to see what it would look like and I end up getting the rabbit look which I don't want, is it possible to just increase fullness on the sides of my lips with a lip lift? Also how long should my philtrum be a good candidate for this procedure?
