I’ve had some Restylane in my lips and litle bit in my philtrum some time a go. I still think my philtrum are too long. Will a lip lift give me a gummy smile? Teeth dose show when I speak but not when I am relaxed. Feels like me lip is heavy in the middle.
Answer: Lip flip , lip lift Dear LuminousThank you for your question. We say that the ideal philtrum length is between 18mm~20mm and you can measure the distance from the base of the nose to the middle of the cupids bow on the upper lip. If its longer then the ideal distance by 3-5 mm then a surgical lip lift will improve the balance in your face . You can always try botox lip flip which would flip the lip up av a bit and see if you like but dose not shorten the length of the philtrum.
