Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
the gummy smile can be because of increased width of attached gingiva or progruded maxillary and mandibular anterior or front teeth.
The gummy smile or appearance of gums on smiling can be corrected by the gum surgery or orthodontic treatment.
Consult a oral physician or an orthodontist and take an opinion. I feel you dont need lip reduction surgery.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
