Is a lip lift the right procedure or should I get an alarplasty/rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:Cool681944 in Chicago, Illinois

I have an extremely long philtrum for a woman. my nostrils are very visible. To me, it seems like the whole bottom part of my face sags and my upper face is being dragged down to reach it, if that makes sense. My lips sitting so low makes my nostrils droop to reach them. Not sure if this is relevant, but when I smile and/or pull my nostrils up and back, it seems to improve both of these issues. Do I need jaw surgery or a lip lift and/or rhinoplasty?
