Interesting question. The short answer is not really. However, by shortening the philtrum with a lip lift it will bring less attention to the width of the philtrum and more attention to the red portion of the lips, which I think will help. I have done philtrum contouring procedures but this is typically to deepen the philtrum not make it less wide. Happy to discuss further. Gary Linkov, MDLip SpecialistManhattan
Thank you for your question!I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting.

Filler can temporarily improve the area. However, for a more permanent solution I recommend an Elelyft lip lift along with fat transfer. Best of luck.Gary Linkov, MDLip SpecialistManhattan
