My Philtrum is Too Prominent, Can Anything Be Done? (photo)

November 13, 2011
Asked By:Trish in COS in Colorado Springs, CO

The ridges are too high making it very prominent and in my opinion masculine looking. Can anything be done to reduce the size of the ridges? I wouldn't want to fill the center because that would just make that area protrude even more.
