Does my philtrum look abnormally long? And lip shape strange? (Photo)

Question

I want expert opinion on my philtrum and lips. I think it looks quite long. Also are my lips shaped oddly to you? Are they supposed to curve up on the sides when making an expressionless face?

Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS · Answer

I believe your lip shape it very nice and appropriate. Your upper lip to lower lip ratio seems off. Since photos are 2-D and in person face to face evaluations are 3-D, I would recommend obtaining a consultation with a plastic or facial plastic surgeon to help you understand what this issues are and then let them give you some option as to how he / she might approach improving it for you.Stephen M.

This photo shows the the distance between the  bottom of the nose to the upper lip border  appear to be excessively long. If this is the true condition in real life, a subnasal lip lift could give correction. See a doctor who does computer imaging to see the potential  height and shape changes of the upper lip  that are possible.
