Reducing the length of philtrum? (Photos) (photo)

Asked By:Nemus in Estonia

Hello, I have a question about shortening the lenght of my philtrum. After some research a lip lift seems to achieve a shorter upper lip, however, I have some concerns. Will the procedure completely change the proportions of my lips, or the red lip? I am a young adult, so I haven't lost any volume of my lips. I'm most concerned that the procedure would make my upper lip overly large/plump. I would gladly hear your opinions and advice, if this procedure would be suitable for someone like me.
