I want a lip lift but I already have a short philtrum so my philtrum length was never a concern however I hate my cupids bow. It makes me look average and I think having a more rounded upper lip would make me look prettier and feminine and would even compliment my ethnic features more. Is this possible? I also am not interested in fillers. I only want to pay for a permanent solution because fillers are something I wouldn't be able to afford long term!
