My philtrum always looked long, so it was something I constantly worried about. After thinking it over, I got a consultation and decided to go ahead with philtrum groove surgery first!
During the consultation, the doctor explained everything in detail in a way that matched my face, which made me trust the process, and the surgery ended sooner than I expected. It's only been about 2 weeks, so there is still a little residual swelling, but my upper lip's Cupid's bow shows more now, and my philtrum line feels more alive, so I'm satisfied haha
The major swelling went down a lot after about a week, and recovery was easier than I expected. If you're worried about your philtrum, I think it could be worth getting a consultation :)
