I'm wondering if a lip lift will benefit me. I also have an overjet/overbite that caused the protrusion but I think it's genetics I'm planning to get braces for soon. This makes me self conscious as I feel I look like a very young, old lady.

Thank you for your question. As we age, the upper lip lengthens. A lip lift can be helpful for shortening the upper lip and improving tooth show, something that fillers alone cannot accomplish. Based on your photo, if you're looking to shorten your upper lip, a discussion with your surgeon...
The distance between your nose and upper lip appears to be quite long. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You would be a candidate for a lip lift.
Best...
