Answer: Lip Lift and Gummy Smile
By definition a lip lift will potentially expose a little more upper tooth show and this may exaggerate a gummy smile issue. I wouldn't do a lip lift unless one is also going to treat the gummy smile issue at the same time.

Will a lip lift exaggerate a gummy smile?
I have a long philtrum along with a long face. Also, when I smile great big like when laughing really hard, I do have some gum show on the side of my mouth...

Quick search on real self and Eppley himself confirms.
What to do now? I can't have more gum show, I can't have my long philtrum, and I can't afford to fix both at the same time for at least a couple years.
