Am I a good candidate for lip lift and buccal fat removal? (photos)

Im almost 19. Had a closed rhinoplasty 8 months ago. I wanna shorten the distance between my lips and nose and achieve a more even and plump look. My teeth barely show when i talk. And when i smile my upper lip get smaller. I also have assymetrical lower jaw and need to get a jaw surgery. I want lips like madison beer (the last pic ) what should i do? Would it affect my results if i get it before my jaw surgery? ( the first 3 pics are me. )
