I would like a lip lift to reduce to length of my philtrum, but I am worried I will be left with a gummy smile afterwards. Is this correct? Is there anything I can do to ensure that I can shorten my philtrum without increasing gum show, that doesn't involve filler or botox? My normal smile has no gum show, but my big smile has a little gum show. I am worried that if I get a lip lift and it gives me any more gum show it will end up being unflattering.
