Am I a Candidate for Lip Reduction? (photo)

atomical
I am a 24 year old Asian male and have been conscious about the appearance of my side profile for just about my entire life. The problem area seems to be my large, protruding, and full lips that makes my side profile uneven. I have had orthodontic work done to correct my teeth in hopes that it would "reshape" how my face looks but have discovered that my lips are still duck-like as they are. I also noticed how it "bunches up" underneath by my teeth when I smile. Would I need both lips done?
