I asked a similar question in a different thread but I managed to confuse the issue- many apologies.
The following is a FAQ item from my surgeon's website, it's about chin reduction:
Has anyone else heard of this before? Has anyone experienced this as a result of a chin reduction?
Again, apologies for asking twice. I won't do it again- promise. :eusa_silenced:
The following is a FAQ item from my surgeon's website, it's about chin reduction:
QuoteQ: Is it possible for the lower lip to move upwards after a chin height reduction? Does the smile change?
A: Yes, if you reduce the height of the chin and you suture the muscle well, the lower lip moves upwards.
Has anyone else heard of this before? Has anyone experienced this as a result of a chin reduction?
Again, apologies for asking twice. I won't do it again- promise. :eusa_silenced:

Yes, my lower lip is now higher. I also had an upper lip lift, with an incision just under the nose to raise the upper lip a few millimeters, so that when I smile I now show only the upper teeth, and a bit of the gum line.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190425/63054466a0267b93eef0b9d81834e6ba.jpg)

I guess if they say it's possible in writing then I would say yes.
I had a very recessed chin so I got a implant and a lip lift. Not the same as a chin reduction.
Most people that go under for FFS also get a lip lift. It can/will make one look more feminine.
Who is the surgeon? I'd like to read their site. I don't see how a chin reduction could do that without some sort of mid face lift..
