If your philtrum isn't prominent, is that a sign of upper jaw recession?

Bone under your philtrum is lower maxilla, it didn't grow forward enough to make your philtrum prominent.

Oh by prominent you meant the shape?the shape is genetics tbh. I thought you mean the angle and the way it looks forward on some people.
