Consultation: You should have a consultation with a local dentist. You may have small teeth, or your low lip line may be due to the position of your maxilla. After the exam, your dentist will give you your options of cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, or the pros/cons of surgery to change the position of your maxilla. Can't answer this over the internet, sight unseen.
