I have a "gummy smile" and I learned that you can get Botox injected into the muscle to relax your upper lip so it covers your gums when you smile. I would like to know how much this would cost me?

Answer: Expect to pay about $200-300 for the upper lip "Gummy Smile" fix with Botox
Botox and other neuromodulators are a great option to treat the look of a gummy smile. Relatively little product is needed for a result that lasts three to four months. Generally two to four units per side is the dose used for treatment. Always see an expert injector for your Botox.
Botox results are temporary wherever they are injected, included for a gummy smile. However patients typically enjoy the results for three to four months. Maintenance treatments will be necessary for continued results. Always see an expert injector for treatment.
If you are looking for a permanent solution to your gummy smile surgery would be needed. However though not permanent, Botox does a great job in correcting a gummy smile. Only a small dose of Botox is needed in order to treat the area for three to four months or longer.
