Answer: Botox treatment for gummy smile and thin upper lip Botox can be used to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for gummy smile and curling the upper lip under when smiling. Two small injections, one on each side of the nose, will relax the LLSAN muscle which elevates the upper lip and will result in less gum show. A lip flip can also be done in combination with gummy smile. Using a small amount of Botox in the upper lip will relax the orbicularis oris muscle and prevent the upper lip from tucking under, creating the appearance of more red lip show when smiling.

Answer: Non-Surgical Treatment Options Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetics provider at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. If you’re exploring non-surgical treatment options, Botox is an effective solution for addressing a gummy smile. It typically requires retreatment every 90 days to maintain results. For lip enhancement, we offer a variety of dermal fillers, with results that can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used and your individual goals. The best next step is a consultation with an experienced provider who can assess your goals and customize a treatment plan specifically for you.

Answer: Gummy smile From the photos you are a great candidate for Botox and HA fillers. The Botox can help with the gummy smile as well as provide a lip flip if desired. HA fillers can add volume to the lips to enhance shape. See an experienced injector to learn more.

Answer: Gummy smile Hello, gatitaca! Thank you for your question. A gummy smile can be troubling for many patients. It is necessary to see someone in action- talking, expressing, smiling, etc- in order to determine the right course of action to adjust a gummy smile- botox, filler, or both. However, from these pictures it appears as though your top lip volume is good, and when you smile it curls under leaving you with less red lip (& more gums) showing. For this, a botox lip flip would be the simplest thing to try- it only takes 2-5 units and will allow the lip to relax and avoid curling under. It also does not last too long due to the mobility of the mouth area, so if you decide you don't like the look or feel it will fade in 4-8 weeks (for most). There is also a muscle called the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi that can contribute to a gummy smile and can be targeted with botox as well. Best of luck in your search!

Answer: Botox For Gummy Smile; HA Filler For Lip Volume Augmentation Happily, there are couple of simple solutions for your problem that can even be done in one treatment session. In the hands of an experienced injector, Botox can be used to treat the gummy smile and an appropriate HA filler, properly injected by an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector can improve lip volume, projection and definition of the vermilion borders. Treatment for both should not take more than about thirty minutes with immediate results from the filler and results seen in one to seven days usually following the Botox. Hope this helps and best of luck.
