Am I a good candidate for a lip lift as I have a decent amount of tooth show? (Photos)

I would really like a lip lift since I have a rather thin top lip, but I'm not sure if I'm even a good candidate because I have a decent amount of tooth show when my lips are in repose/slightly parted and relaxed. My philtrum length seems to be around 15-16mm. I'm also wondering what type of lip lift I'd be a candidate for, if any. If not a bullhorn, maybe a corner lip lift, for example?

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It would be possible to treat this issue with a 3D lip lift (an ameliorated version of the traditional lip lift I invented) which allows maximal control over the upper lip and can correct any asymmetry. Of course, a consultation is required. I hope this helps, best of luck !
