I have a long philtrum, would a lip lift or Botox (lip flip) be good options for me? (Photos)

cactusgal
I have a long philtrum and my upper lip disappears when I'm in a neutral/relaxed facial position. When I smile, more of my upper lip shows. My goal is to have more of my upper lip visible when my face is resting/not engaged. I've been considering getting a Botox lip flip, or lip lift surgery done. Would I be a good candidate for either of those?
