Do I have a normal lip? I am particularly concerned about the upper lip

Sincere631154Jan 16, 2024
Do I have a normal lip? Because I often have the feeling that I don't have a normal lip. I am particularly concerned about the upper lip. Because my concern is the short length of the lip red in the upper lip, which generally makes my mouth look quite pointed. Or is that just in my head? Do you see it the same way? If so, what could be done without making the lip look too thick? My problem is that I have to grin slightly the whole time so that my lip doesn't get the weird shape
