Hello, I want to now if there is any technique to smooth a protuberant philtrum area, I mean the area between my nose and upper lip. I don´t have ridges, is just that the area looks a little too masculine or something. Even my plastic surgeon was intrigued by it but did not suggest any fix. And it is not a dental problem, my teeth are not protuberant or crooked. I don´t know if it clearly shows on the picture.

This would be a horrible mistake. In addition to being terribly disfigured, you would loose function of your mouth and some of your face. You would be cutting through muscles and nerves which are essential for facial animation and loose continence of your mouth when eating and...
A well preformed lower face and neck lift should have a long lasting results. This procedure can be performed with local anesthesia and twilight sedation without the need for general anesthesia.
The first thing to address if your orthognatic work. You may benefit from a sliding genioplasty or chin implant, depending on what needs to be done to your teeth. This would probably bring the biggest impact, followed by neck liposuction.
