I would love to finally fix the thing in most insecure about- my gummy smile. Would lip repositioning be the best option to fix my gummy smile? Would it be a permanent fix? Is there a better option?

The upper lip lift allows you to shorten the length of the upper lip. This will expose more of the front teeth. The surgery is performed in the office with either local anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

You are a great candidate for a lip lift, and likely a corner lip lift. At your age is around the time we see lips start to droop and lengthen. The procedure I do is in the office, takes about 30 minutes, and is very effective. Watch our videos to learn more.
