I'm a 24 year old woman, I've been looking for the best procedure to correct my gummy smile, I think my teeth are big enough so maybe a laser procedure can reshape my gum line though. As you can see in my pictures I don't only have gummy smile, I also have a asymmetric bite. I've been searching for the lip lowering procedure but I don't know if it's the best solution for a case like me, I know there's also they the maxillary surgery, but I consider it's very extreme.

They certainly can all be performed together. Not only would it save you additional anesthesia and recovery times each result will enhance the other. One of the keys to successful rhinoplasty is facial balance. Lengthening of the lip improves projection on the nose.
The upper lip lift allows you to shorten the length of the upper lip. This will expose more of the front teeth. The surgery is performed in the office with either local anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
