I had an accident when i was 9, left side jaw bone fractured and it dint grow. but the right one grew normally and since there is no balance between two jaws, this right one a bit towards the left. overall my jawline looks fine but i have this protruding lip problem. What can i do to remove this. Added to this i have long nose which can be fine if i get rid of this protruding lip. doctors please help

In general, there is very little fat in this area. It tends to consist of skin and muscle. Removing muscle can result in movement irregularities. Removing the lining of hte lip may decrease the protrusion than the entire lip but would be difficult to do selectively.
You can improve the symmetry of the length of the lip with an upper lip lift and the corner of the mouth with a mid face lift with or without a tendon suspension (depends on how much muscle function you have). You may also benefit from some augmentation of the cheek and deep facial fat as this...
Thank you for your question. Without seeing photos of how your lips look and what look you are after. consult with a board certified surgeon to give you the best advice and options , regarding non surgical and surgical options . All the best
