I am a 21 year old girl who has always hated my nose and smile. My teeth are normal sized, if not large, so I don't understand why they do not show. If I lift up my nose they show much more. If I get a nose job to make my nose smaller and lifted, would that help reveal my smile, or would I need a lip lift as well?
