Why do my lips poke out so much? (Photo)

flower821Dec 27, 2014
My lips stick out so much and it's so annoying. Whenever I talk, you can see all of my bottom teeth due to the drooping of my bottom lip. Also when I smile there a deep line, and I'm when I'm not smiling, there's a shadow because of the crease. And I can see my mouth with my bottom prereferral vision. Do I need a jaw, chin, or just a lip/lip's skin correction. Please help! BTW there are shiny spots on my face from Mederma in the pictures, so you don't think it's anything weird! Thanks!
