My philtrum tends to look a bit long, so whenever I took a photo, I felt like my mouth was sticking out—like it was suddenly popping out. I even looked into philtrum reduction surgery, but I gave up immediately after reading about the scarring. Instead, I found out about philtrum sculpting injections and decided to give them a try. At first, I wondered if it would really work, but as the volume below my nostrils was reduced, my philtrum started to look less long. It didn't make it completely shorter, but my mouth looks less protruding and my face feels a bit more refined, so I am satisfied.
