I've considered a lip lift (upper and maybe corner), for better facial proportions & more tooth show. Also to fix the asymmetry. Also considering composite veneers for bigger, wider and longer teeth. What can I do to fix my smile? also "lumps" (not fillers) around lips ruining the look of my teeth and smile. (more obvious in person) *please note I had fillers 5 months ago on my lip (.7ml upper .3ml lower center) & Ive had braces for spacing 6 yrs ago. Have considered braces for slight relapse.

Additional views are needed to properly advise you. Many factors come into play when recommending a lip lift, or Elelyft in my practice. Not only are patient preferences important but also the position of the upper teeth, the base of the nose:mouth width ratio, upper lip: lower lip...
It is unlikely with modern lip lift techniques but perhaps with a deeper muscle manipulation or extensive incisions within the nose you might develop some rhinorrhea. You should see an ENT specialist about this problem.
