I also have a long space between my nose and mouth. These features are in disharmony with my face and kind of give me a "horse face" look. Is there anything at all that I can do to correct these flaws? I am thinking that a lip lift might help me? do you think it would? is there anything else I can do? maybe something to correct the small mouth?
