I have a very long philtrum, but I already have full lips with a lot of tooth show. Is there anything else that can be done as an alternative to a lip lift to shorten a long philtrum?

Answer: Lip Lift In any lift lift or vermilion advancement procedure there are always going to be tradeoffs. Shortening the long philtrum will change the volumetric appearance of the upper lip either centrally (lip lift) or the whole lip.(vermilion advancement) The question then becomes which can you leave with the best…a long philtrum or a shorter philtrum with a fuller upper lip.
