I've never liked my lower face, but can't pinpoint what exactly I dislike about it. Would shortening my philtrum make a difference?

The problem you have is that the vermilion border (the edge between the red and skin color of the lip) is blunted. That can happen with a lip lift of this type. The best option will be to do something to improve that area and give it more definition.
