hard to tell from these photos. i see some redundant mucosa inside your lip when you smile. if you want that managed, that should be relatively straightforward. however, it looks as if you are on the border of having a gummy smile (but could be wrong). you may have more gum show after a lip reduction of the inside mucosa. something to consider. best, sml
