Alar setback tip deprojection DOES shorten the philtrum

[Slyfex8]

Plenty of prople with longer looking philtrum have a retracted collumela

A retracted collumela makes the philtrum looking longer, some sort of nasal tip rhinoplasty can put the retracted collumela back to a normal state, it's called an alar setback tip deprojection.

Note there seems to be a strong correlation between a retracted collumela and recessed anterior nasal spine, a recessed ANS would very likely be the result of a recessed maxilla I guess. The issue is that a lefort isnt going to makes you philtrum shorter because while making the collumela more hanging your nose also upturns

If you have a recessed collumela you can try pushing the skin around the base of your nose and you will see that it makes the collumela more hanging as it upturns your nose

Fuark even a serious study says the philtrum shortening from fixing a retracted columella is a thing

Technique for correction of the retracted columella, acute columellar-labial angle, and long upper lip - PubMed

The excess tissue from upper lip vertical length reduction provides bulk for opening the columella-labial angle and increasing the visibility of the columella and upper lip vermillion. Decorticated centrally based transverse flaps from the lip and nostril floor, when transposed into a columellar...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

The technique delivers premaxilla, columella, and columella-labial angle mass, which simultaneously corrects the retracted columella, opens the columella-labial angle, shortens the upper lip length, and enhances vermillion visibility.

so the surgery pushes the septum more inwards? fuck that has to do with the alar

Another kind of collumela lowering that seems to shorten the philtrum:

This. I have a recessed maxilla and got this exact rhinoplasty technique before I discovered what recession was. It did make my philtrum shorter. By tightening the nose, the lip is furled upward slightly and the philtrum is shorter.
