How long does Botox for a gummy smile take to show effects?

October 18, 2018
Asked By:JamesR7 in Dallas, TX

I had Botox for my gummy smile done exactly a week ago, and so far I haven’t noticed changes whatsoever. Do the changes come all of a sudden? I don’t feel a thing, I have full movement of my upper lip, and gums are still very visible.
