Will lip repositioning surgery (for gummy smile) change the shape of my lip in anyway? Especially when I rest my face.

Just wondering since the muscles inside the lip get cut open and pulled to close, will this affect how my upper lip look? Will the shape of the lip (at resting face) or shape of my smile change in anyway, except for the fact that gum will not sow anymore? Thanks.
