Is It Possible to Move Entire Mouth Upwards?

kimkardashian
I heard that the ideal mouth is 1/3 of the way from nose to chin, but mine is closer to 1/2. Because I have a very thick upper lip, I can't do a lip lift, and because I have a long face already, I will do a chin implant to correct my receding chin but I don't want my face to become much longer. Could jaw surgery possibly correct this, while fixing my protruding mouth as well? Also, if I get an upper lip reduction, will the distance between nose and upper lip become greater? Thank you!
