How is a Corner Lip Lift Done with an Upper Lip Lift?

I would like to have an upper lip lift done and am wondering if I need to have a corner lip lift as well. I would like to know how this is done and how to know if it is necessary. My upper lip measures almost 2mm. I would also like to know if dissolvable stitches are used. Thank you!
