Why have my lips grown such much?

[Bewusst]

My lips were much thinner when I was 15 which looked better. Now, they're too plump for my taste, especially my upper lip. It makes me look overbitish even though I am not. Thus I always jut my jaw forward to make them look more proportional.
I need upper lip reduction.

I don't believe it's inherited because both my parents have rather thin/normal lips.

full lips are better, they balance your thirds.

thin lips look so ugly.

It's not only the fullness I'm concerned with but my upper lip looks much bigger vertically than my lower lip (it should be the other way around or roughly equal in size).
It looks submissive, overbitish and autistic.

Proportions are everything.

your best move is to get lower lip filler, if you get upper lip reduction your philtrum will be longer.

I've got the same problem bro, I think it's just the way our mouths are formed, sucks though.
I saw the thread you made about it a while back though and thought your lips were fine.
plump is better than thin to an extent.

Lip filler almost always looks like shit. No way am I getting this.

idk. when i was a kid my lips were sharp red full and vibrant, now they are rounded pink and mediocre. I cope by hoping its because im fat now compared to then.

Yeah. I also had clean, smooth skin, a nw0 hairline and a less mentally ill default expression. Aging/stress were unkind to me.

I don't care about that reddit thread. They can plaster my pics all over reddit and get triggered over my posts here if they want to.

even a greycel knows full lips are better (Unless you are negro and you have exaggerate big lips)

It's my upper lip that bothers me. It's much bigger and protrudes more than my lower lip. It should be the opposite or the same size/projection.

On top of that, my mouth is quite narrow.

I really think your lips are good and mog mine hard but what I do is push my lower lip out and up against my upper lip if that makes sense.
Just so it protrudes as much as my upper lip and makes my upper lip look smaller (last part isn't good for me but you seem to want it.)
If you remember to position your lips like this always it will become your resting posture, hope that helps.
Also link to that reddit thread? lol

Doing that makes the mentolabial fold more prominent and chin look shorter which isn't good either. That's why I only jut out my jaw. I'm gonna have to get lip reduction at some point though.

Btw, I also jut in my previous profile picture because of it.

Yeah it's not ideal, I only do it very slightly and your lip only protrudes so slightly ahead that I think you could get away with it.

The fact that this is a problem for us pisses me off though. Humans are designed to have an edge to edge bite. It was the introduction of cutlery that gave us the overbite we have now. idk about you but when I fake an edge to edge bite my lips are perfectly aligned and my side profile is greatly improved.

Not so sure about this tbh. Just because our ancestors had an edge-to-edge bite doesn't necessarily mean it's ideal for us.
This type of (mal)occlusion wears down the teeth badly.

I had an actual overbite until my early teens which was treated with braces and rubber bands. I still have the fixed retainers left (they won't remove them because my health insurance doesn't cover it; I'd have to pay for it myself). Half of my upper tooth row retainer had broken off long time ago.

My upper dental arch/palate has expanded significantly over the last ~1.5 years but my lower arch hasn't unfortunately. I think that's also why my upper lip is so much more prominent.
My upper incisors are much bigger than the lower ones too.
