Fascinating Facts and Trivia

The groove between the nose and upper lip is called the philtrum.

This tiny indent is a residual reminder of time spent in your mother’s womb.

The two sides of your face develop independently of one another and come to meet in the middle of your face, creating the philtrum.

When these two sides fail to fuse properly, which happens in one out of every 750 births, the result is a cleft palate.
