After Botox treatment for gummy smile will the result stay forever? As from others' feedback, it will last about 4 month. Does it need maintenance of injection? With continued use of Botox, will the results improve? How many units are needed for gummy smile treatment?

Answer: BOTOX Cosmetic Dear Brian, Botox can be used to treat the strong muscles that lift the upper lips when you smile- this will give the effect of less gum show when you smile. the average dose is 4 to 6 units. sometimes this needs to be adjusted to achieve the desired results. Botox generally lasts 3 to 4 months and can be repeated or stopped without any problems. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Answer: Gummy Smile & Botox The results will last for 4 months. With repeated usage it might last as long as 6 months. The dosage is about 5units of Botox Cosmetic in the nasolabial angle (where upper lip and nose meet in the center) and 3units each in the right and left side of the nose where the nose groove meets the cheek (alar groove). Strict dosage measurement is essential or you can have smiling, speaking and swallowing issues. Regards
