My philtrum (nasal sill - highest pt of cupid’s bow ~18-19 mm) seems to elongate, defeminize, and age my face. Am I am an appropriate candidate for a lip lift? I am unsure d/t e.g. the prominence/angle of my nasal spine region, etc. If I am an appropriate candidate, how can I best ensure that I would have a natural-looking outcome and that my surgeon adheres to my specified goals for a more modest length improvement? What specific questions and agreement details might I consider?
