My lip philtrum is 15mm. Can a lip aug (with filler or fat) reduce my philtrum to 14 or 13mm?
Answer: Lip Augmentation to Reduce Philtrum Length Hi and thanks for your question. It sounds like your goals are realistic, so it is likely that a bit of filler in your upper lip will help reduce the appearance of your philtrum. Even if it doesn't decrease it physically, augmentation will make the philtrum look shorter by increasing the size of the upper lip. Of course, this must be done with an eye on a natural result. The last thing we want is an over augmented lip. Hope that helps.

Answer: Lip Lift Thank you for your question. Lip augmentation through the direct lip lift would create a slightly raised effect to your upper lift. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can lip augmentation reduce my philtrum length? Dear Onwardsupwards,Thank you for your question. Lip fillers will not physically reduce the length of your philtrum but will reduce the appearance by making the upper lip look fuller. Other procedures include a lip lift where the shape of the lip can be modified to look fuller while shortening the length of the philtrum. A physical exam is necessary to determine what the best step is for you. When you are ready, please look at before and after photos on my website and we can set up a complimentary in-person consultation to address your concerns and answer all of your questions.Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Answer: Lip augmentation Thanks for your question. Without any photos it's difficult to give an exact recommendation. However, strategically placed filler, containing hyaluronic acids such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Volbella, can create fuller volume in the lips. Indeed, it can even suddenly change the shape of the lip as well. However, if you have significant lip shape issues, such as a long upper lip or drooping corners, then you could opt for other procedures, such as an upper or corner lip lift, in order for you to achieve your ideal lip shape. Additional options also include fat grafting or implants. Best to consult with a board certified physician in order to achieve best individual results.

Answer: Can lip augmentation reduce my philtrum length? Thank you for sharing your question. Though fillers will not physically change the distance if placed correctly they will camouflage the 15mm to make the distance appear smaller. Hope this helps.
