Columella Too Low Upper Lips Too High Teeth Showing? (photo)

September 20, 2012
Asked By:frankie609

My philtrum and upper lip looks too short for my face. My septum might be too short too that my columella is hanging too high. To achieve my desired shape of my upper lip, I would have to pull my columella down as shown in the picture which effectively pushes my upper lip downward. Is there any solution to this? I want the shape of my upper lip to be like the shape of it when I'm pulling my columella down. Also, my nose is too wide and bulby. Can that too be corrected all at once?
