I am 37 years old and have never been comfortable with the shape of my upper lip. I don't feel that it looks very masculine and it causes me a great deal of frustration. I was wondering if it is possible to increase the width between the two "peaks" (for lack of a better term) of the cupid's bow. I've included a photo of my lips and my ideal upper lip shape. If I could get anywhere close to that I'd be happy. Thanks in advance for any input.
