Why is my philtrum too short? (Photo)

Question

My Philtrum is too short, which makes m ugly and my nose is too long. If it is possible to reduce nose length and increase Philtrum.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

The reason your lip seems short is related to the pull your nasal hump exerts on it. A rhinoplasty can release the tight upper lip and make it seem longer.
