Can Nose Surgery Fix a Short Upper Lip? (photo)

orla1986
I want to have nose surgery to get rid of the dorsal hump that I have. I also feel that my upper lip is too short, I breath through my mouth and it is always open. When I smile my upper lip lifts too much and my gums show. Can tip surgery help to 'release' the upper lip so it sits a but lower? Also would i benefit from a chin implant for facial balance? Thank you
