Can a lip flip INCREASE teeth exposure? (photo)

cc0212
I’ve always seen lip flips with Botox for decreasing teeth exposure or a “gummy smile” but what about to show more of the upper teeth? I went to a plastic surgeon consultation for a lip lift because my gum line doesn’t show at all when I smile and I’d like for my top teeth to show more. However, he said it wasn’t significant enough for surgery and he used Botox for a lip flip. Does this sound right? Also, I didn’t notice a huge difference in my smile or teeth but exposure.
