I have an extremely long philtrum for a woman. my nostrils are very visible. To me, it seems like the whole bottom part of my face sags and my upper face is being dragged down to reach it, if that makes sense. My lips sitting so low makes my nostrils droop to reach them. Not sure if this is relevant, but when I smile and/or pull my nostrils up and back, it seems to improve both of these issues. Do I need jaw surgery or a lip lift and/or rhinoplasty?
Ive started to research lip lifts as I have a 20mm philtrum - however I like the size and shape of my lips Is it advised to do this in my case? I am also considering a chin implant as I have a recessed chin and am wondering if that alone would provide enough balance.
All of the great poor botched people being vandalized after a lip lift are screaming inside every day for a solution for this Is there any amazing surgeon out there with a solution? After searching for weeks the only thing I can find is stretching manually and filler in the lip.
hi more than a year ago I had a very unsuccessful lip lift I was left with a huge wide scar on one side deep and. very short distance between the nose and the lip 10 cm in the middle and 9 on the side and I understand that if I remove the scar then the lips will not close. I am thinking of skin grafting in place of the scar but I am not sure if this will give a good result I would like to have a 12 cm philtrum and remove scar. What can be done?
I have never had any procedures, I am currently being treated with Invisalign for my teeth and bite alignment as I have a slight over bite. I am self conscious regarding the visibility of my nostrils and the philtrum area under my nose, it's very sloped and my upper lip is not visible. I would like recommendations on whether it's possible to make this look better in a non-surgical way? Or is surgery the only option? Thankyou!
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
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 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?
