Would Botox and lip fillers be best for a gummy smile with thin, uneven lips? Can they be done at the same time? (photos)

Asked By:PetiteRevision27 in Pittsburgh, PA

My lips are much too thin and uneven for my liking and I've got a slight gummy smile. I've heard of fillers for plumping and Botox for gummy smile. Can these be done at the same time or close together? I'd like to have my smile settled by Oct. 11th I've included pictures of myself and a few different "goal smiles" that I love. And yes, I am looking to fix my hanging columella, which is a result of rhinoplasty in 2014.
