Will Lip Augmentation (Possibly Via Injections) Make my Lips Close Naturally? (photo)

Septembersapphire17
My lips have never touched at rest. My bottom lip is very full and my top lip quite thin, so I was wondering if I got my top lip augmented, maybe my lips would close naturally. I can force them to close, but then my chin looks odd- dimpled from mentalis strain. The lip incompetency really messes up how I look. I need a solution that won't alter my face too much or be too costly. Jaw surgery isn't necessary- I have a perfect bite from having braces. If only I could get my lips to close!
