Can I have a lip lift despite the fact my teeth show whilst my mouth is relaxed and open? (Photos)

December 22, 2018
Asked By:Katielouise92 in New London, CT

I have extremely thin lips and a 2.1cm philtrum. I’ve been to see a surgeon and he would not perform a lip lift as my teeth do show whilst my mouth is relaxing and he informed me I would look ‘toothy’ post procedure. I’ve recently had fillers but the length of my philtrum is still very upsetting to me. I would really like a second opinion as to whether a lip lift could help here or if any other treatments would shorten my philtrum. Photos are pre filler so are my natural lips.
