What can I do about a pronounced change in nasal base after lip lift?

Looking into lip augmentation: which is better a lip lift or fat transfer? Maybe both?
Jonathan Kaplan, MD, MPH says:

If you want more volume and fullness to your lips, fat transfer makes the most sense vs a lip lift. A lip lift is a procedure specifically to shorten philtrums (with the added benefit of revealing more of the top lip) so yes, it's most appropriate for people with long philtrums. A second round...
