Is it possible to perform a lip lift WITHOUT rolling the red portion of the lip out?

yozzy1973
 I have seen many before and afters where some patients red portion is relatively the same size as before the procedure whilst others their red lip is a lot larger. I don't want my red lip portion larger, I just want my philtrum shortened. I measured my upper lip and on average laterally and medially its 2cm. So I would like to have a 5mm reduction medially AND laterally, is this possible?
