Is it possible to undergo a lip lift procedure without increasing the size of the upper lip? Cutting off a bit of philtrum length without making the face look more feminine/ duck lips?

Correction of lower lip sag is challenging with essentially a soft tissue sagging sling between the mouth corners pulled down by gravity and chin muscle attachments. The combination of a V-Y mucosal advancement with a shortening vestibuloplasty can be an effective approach to it.
Any orthodontic treatment/ veneers should be completed before having a lip lift done. Lips are designed to provide you with the most optimal tooth show. No need to correct veneers afterwards,.

In your frontal view, your corners are quite low. I would do a very small center lip lift but more lateral lip lift. This should not change the ratio of your face.
