Hey, i’m 20 years old and my long (and smooth) philtrum really bothers me. Could a lip lift help?

Thank you for your question.  I would suggest if your main concern is the cupids bow filler works really well in create more definition.  A Lip Lift will shorten the philtrum and slightly change the fullness of the lips.  Please do have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.  All The Best 

While I would need to assess you in person to know for sure, it does appear you might be a good candidate for a lip lift. This procedure reduces the distance from the base of the nose to the upper lift. It also increases mucosal show of the upper lip and reveals a bit of the upper teeth when you smile. My concern would be that your lips are already beautifully full, and I would not want to do anything to change that effect. Make sure you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has the experience and expertise to tailor your procedure to your precise needs and goals. 

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.  In your case, I believe this would be an effective treatment but will not increase the definition of your cupid’s bow.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
