The following image shows what the philtral columns and the cupid's bow are:

Undefined philtral columns and flat-shaped cupid's bows have a much more negative effect on the appearance of the mouth area than a long philtrum has.

They make you look older and like you have fetal alcohol syndrome.

You can still look good with a moderately long philtrum if you have a defined cupids bow and philtral columns.

Of course to be able to look good with a long philtrum you also need to have a tall chin and a short nose or/and a wide IPD, but thats not the point of this thread.
 
I agree
But is there anything you can do to get a more defined Cupid's bow or philtral column?

I think you could change the shape of the cupid's bow with a vermillion advancement of the lip, the procedure is explained on this thread.

As for the philtral columns, to make them more defined you can get:

And dermal grafts:

I think you can get implants to enhance the philtral columns too, but I havent really looked into that.
