Main issues for me are long philtrum and long narrow face. Not sure where fillers should be placed to achieve the best results. 1. Nasolabial Folds I feel like my pronounced nasolabial folds add verticality to my face and could be making it visually longer. 2. Top Lip I think my long philtrum also contributes to a long face. I've seen lip filler reduces the space between lip and nose. 3. Mid Face/Cheek I think it could be a good option to widen my face. Many thanks!

Answer: Ideal Areas for Filler Placement Hi, I am a board-certified facial plastic surgeon and I think there are a couple areas where filler placement would enhance your facial contours. If we start from the top of the face and work our way down, the cheek bones and midface could be accented with a touch of carefully placed filler and I would favor your right side as it is a little less in width than your left. The nasolabial grooves are really non-existent for you due to your young age, but I do see some of the length in your philtrum you mentioned. Fillers to the lips themselves is one option, but it won't truly decrease that distance. A surgical subnasal lip lift where a small bit of skin is removed beneath the nose is really the best option to decrease this distance if that is a concern of yours and once healed the incision is nearly invisible. I hope this helps and if you do choose to get fillers or surgery, make sure to see a facial plastic surgeon who has extensive knowledge of the anatomy and can manage all possible side effects.
