My teeth already show a lot. Can I still get a lip lift?

JessieWest5May 21, 2022
I have always wanted a lip lift because my philtrum is too long. It's the main issue with my face, so i would really like to have it corrected if possible. The problem is I already have quite a lot of tooth show. Is there any way I can still get a lip lift?
