Hi! I really want a concervative lip lift. I've had fillers before but they don't give me the results I'm looking for. My philtrum is about 15mm, and I do have a gummy smile, but only when I laugh. I don't mind it at all. I've never wanted to reduce my gummy smile nor would I mind if it would increase somewhat after a lip lift. With this in mind, and realistic expectations, could i have the procedure done? I'm 40 years old, I don't smoke and I'm healthy.
