As you can see on the picture my phltrum just goes straight down from my nose and it is pretty wide. Is there anything that could be done about this?
Answer: Philtral Width 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, MD Lip Specialist Manhattan

Answer: Lip Augmentation Candidate -- Injectable Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Fat Grafting to Lips, NovaThreads for Lift 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. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lip lift Unfortunately, you have not provided a view from the ground up showing your nostrils. It may be possible that pulling your medial cura together will decrease the width of the base of your nose and make the philtrum column less wide at the top. Also, a lip lift may may possibly narrow the top but these will not narrow the bottom, which does look normal.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
