Unsure Whether I Need a Lip Lift Operation or a Rhinoplasty to Achieve Balance (photo)

itsapinkthing
I've had 3 jaw operations and braces to fix an retrognathic lower jaw and overbite. Rapid expansion and BSSO on the upper and mandibular advancement (lower) with fat injections in my lips. As a result, my nose is much wider and flares a lot, my lips are uneven, and my lips placement seems off not allowing my upper teeth to show unless I smile real large and force it. The look is displeasing to me. Will a lip lift and rhinoplasty correct these issues? Any guidance is appreciated.
