You are an excellent candidate for a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Both are good. I'd suggest the fascia. It will be softer and if available will give a good outcome. With skin you will have a small, but increased, risk of a nodule or cyst.

It's likely a combination of both - some of the tilting is due to the teeth and then some is just due to how your muscles work. People often have asymmetric oral commissures (corners of mouth) in terms of pointing up/neutral/down. There's not much to do to fix it.

I recommend a chin implant. This will lengthen the width of your jaw and give you more support inferiorly. You may also benefit from a lip reduction. This would be done with an internal incision to pull the lip more posterior. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
