I will be undergoing septorhinoplasty because of also slightly croked bridge of the nose to the side and probably drooping columella. Unfortunatly I have full lips and short philtrum, wchich causes chin to philtrum ratio of 3:1 and midface ratio of 1:1,1 and nasolabial angle of less than 90° facial convexity of 180* . I'm afraid that putting incisors more outwards as they should be will cause philtrum to be even shorter and upper lip fuller. What should be done to improve looks of my face.
