I'm 19 and have always been insecure about my philtrum length. To combat this I tattooed my top lip with permanent makeup ink which eased my insecurities a lot, however I would love to look into having a lip lift instead. I also have a small line scar right in the middle of the space between my nose and lip and was wondering whether that would cause any issues at all. I've never been insecure about anything but my philtrum and would be more confident with a shorter one.

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.
