The upper lip can be held up by a high nasal bridge this is called a tension tip. If the bridge is lowered the tip of the nose can become less tense and drop a bit. When the tip of the nose drops the upper lip may also become less Tense. This can relax the upper lip and reduce the gummy smile. Stretching ones upper lip will not help.

I also have a very big nose. If i make my nose smaller will it lower my upper lip?

Are they more ways to make the lip longer (maybe stretching it every day) ?

Please help!
