What options are there for shortening my long philtrum after rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Asked By:Sophialeila in United Kingdom

Never used to notice it before I had a rhinoplasty but I’m now really conscious of how long my philtrum is. What options are there for shortening? It actually measures in at 2cm! I’ve had lip fillers to try lift the Cupid’s bow but it still looks too long.
