I dislike the shape of my philtrum. It is parallel and deep, was wondering if it was possible to change it to a more triangular shape, either through a lip lift procedure or a rhinoplasty? Couldn't find anything online. Thanks
My philtrum (nasal sill - highest pt of cupids bow ~18-19 mm) seems to elongate, defeminize, and age my face. Am I am an appropriate candidate for a lip lift? I am unsure d/t e.g. the prominence/angle of my nasal spine region, etc. If I am an appropriate candidate, how can I best ensure that I would have a natural-looking outcome and that my surgeon adheres to my specified goals for a more modest length improvement? What specific questions and agreement details might I consider?
Hi, I am going to book in a revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty; however I want to shorten the length of my philtrum so was considering a lip lift. I have tooth show when my mouth is on repose however some before and after photos I have seen of people who have had lip lifts have had similar without a HUGE amount of tooth show. Is there a way a combination of both the rhinoplasty and lip lift could be used together for an effective result of reducing my philtrum length.
I have a short nose and long chin. I'm wondering if a lip lift will help with my facial balance or will it make my chin seem bigger. Also are there any other procedures to maybe bring balance and femenization to my face. Considering chin pad reduction as well so that my chin isn't so prominent. Advice?
I am a 36/F interested in shortening the philtrum but have a long history of keloid/hypertrophic scarring. I was hoping I would age out of this tendency but after a minor surgery site from last month started to raise, I sadly still scar badly. I have naturally pillowy and cupid's bow lip with keyhole pout so wouldn't want to alter my lips other than subtle fullness to combat natural aging process . What are my options?
I am a mid 20s male with a long philtrum and low tooth show. I am satisfied with the size and shape of my upper lip, which is why I have not gotten a lip lift. Is there a lip lift technique that can increase toothshow and reduce philtrum length while minimizing the change to the upper vermilion?
Had a lip lift October of 2024. Within 4 or 5 months, it started drooping. It has been almost 8 months now and the philtrum length is between 19 - 20 mm. The length was 20 mm to start! I wanted 7mm removed. The surgeon felt 5 was more appropriate. When it was first done, I was happy with it, even if it wasn't as much as I would have liked. Is it possible to do again? or too soon to do again?
