Why does the vermillion border of the lips go outside my mouth? (Photo)

Question

I've tried googling but I can't seem to find out hat the cause is or how to fix it. It has always made my smile less aesthetic... My bottom also looks like its being dragged down. I've noticed this since a very early age and never had fillers/botox

The vermillion border is the demarcation between the colored part of the lips (the vermillion) and the surrounding skin. In some individuals, the vermillion border may appear to extend slightly beyond the natural outline of the mouth. This can be influenced by various factors such as genetics, anatomy, and age.

Genetic factors play a significant role in determining lip shape and size. Additionally, the aging process, environmental factors, and facial expressions can contribute to changes in the appearance of the lips, including the vermillion border.

Best of luck !
