Can something be done about my philtrum? (photos)

Question

I've always been self-conscious about my philtrum. I think it is overly deep and defined. Is there anything that can be done about it?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

The easiest solution to define your lip line would be to have a master injector use fillers to enhance the aspect of your lip that you would want highlighted. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Most often people are looking to add definition to the philtral columns. In your case, if you wanted to soften the philtral dimple a very small amount of filler could be added to the dimple to make it more shallow and less likely to have evidence of a shadow. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
