Would Submental Shortening of the Inferior Mentalis Muscle Lower a Chin Pad?

Provide issues are soley soft tissue (previous horizontal reduction).. would submental shortening of the inferior mentalis muscle help efface a rather unattractive 90 degree labiomental fold & help flatten out some of the fleshy ball on the end? Would this help lower the chin pad a bit as well? I have plenty of leftover tissue from previous reduction 2 work with & a lower lip that sits too high relative to my lower teeth. (Issues r soft tissue as it flattens does not project more when smiling.)
