I really love the shape and size of my lips, the problem is that I have a small nose relative to the overall size of my face. This makes my philtrum appear quite long. I think I measured it and it was 1.8cm. I also have very little tooth show. When I smile my tooth show is perfect, so I'm afraid of the lip lift causing me to have a gummy smile. My biggest concern is the scarring and any muscle distortion while talking or eating. Can someone please advise me of my best options?

Answer: Lip lift for sure If you have an 18mm upper lip length, unless you are very very tall, a lip lift is for you. I likely do more of those than any surgeon anywhere and have for 20 years. It's done right in the office with no stitches to remove. The results appear immediately and are very beautiful.

Answer: Defining The Vermilion Border May Help to Visually Improve A Long Philtral Area Before jumping to surgery, you should discuss the possibility of simply using a filler, such as Belotero Balance, injected along the vermilion (border of the red and white lips) which will not only help to better define the border of the upper lip, but, by flipping the upper lip a bit, will appear to shorten the distance between the base of the nose and the base of the philtral columns. It's simple and will take an experienced injector no more than about thirty seconds to perform. Best of luck.
