Asking again- has "your smile changed" after FFS?

[GlobalPessimum]

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:

Q: 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.

I have not had FFS yet so cannot answer this question for you hopefully a kind person that has knowledge of this will help you out

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.

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..

It's Bart van de Ven. The FAQ is on this page (scroll down near the end):
