In my experience an intraoral repositioning of the upper lip is the least invasive and most beneficial in correction of the "gummy smile" problem. Combining repositioning with myotomy of the lip levator muscles works well. Use of botox for this purpose I would discourage because...
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.
Best for a gummy smile is getting a bit of Botox injected to the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN) muscle, right by the side of your nose. It will last about 3 months. It's easy and simple and no tooth drilling, veneers and expensive dental upkeep required.
