dear Looksmaxxers...
Ive been thinking that one of the main causes of a long Philtrum is recession
Well, let's see a person who has trasformed his forward growth from recessed to getting a good growth
As you can see, aside of the change in the jaw, you can also see a variation in the philtrum area, which, even if minimal, it still existent.
we are talking about a 1 millimiter variation, sadly if you 20mm philtrum there's nothing that you really can do about it. (Surgery is an option)
If you think about it, there are more recessed people with a long philtrum rather then ones with a good forward growth and the same long philtrum
Variation
This philtrum length variation between recessed and non-recessed mainly depends on how much you have been recessed for.
for example, if you are a recessed 10 year old who later got a good forward growth the variation is major (2-3 millimiters) than the one of a grown 18 year old man who has matured with recessession (0.5-1 millimiter).
(The variations may also be higher than I said)
This is because an actually genetically long philtrum is way rarer than we think it is, as it is also indicated from various medicine-related websites that a long philtrum is a rare facial mutation (mostly present in specific phenotypes)
Explaination
Now, i'm not a doctor with a degree, but I suppose that recession has a more than a giant impact on the facial structure, in fact a deficient facial growth pulls down and backwards many of the muscles present in the lower third of the face, also impacting the philtrum area.
