Space Between Nose and Upper Lip Too Wide?

I feel like the space between my nose and upper lip is too long. I'd like to know what I can do about it and if by looking at my photo if you recommend it.

Options for shortening the distance from the lip to the nose (lip lift)

You could consider the use of a bull horn lip lift. The problem is that it requires a scar immediately beneath the nose. This makes it potentially a visible scar. The alternative is the gull wing lip lift.
