Lip Injections to Cover Bottom Teeth Show?

Hi 920140,

You would likely receive some benefit from lip augmentation; however, there are probably some other options that would be better.  I recommend evaluation by an experienced surgeon for a complete evaluation and discussion of options.

Good luck!

You can certainly use filler to enhance the lip and change the proportion of how the lip interfaces with the teeth. But, you can’t use a lot of filler without getting a very bulky lip particularly in the lower lip. Sometimes using small amounts of BOTOX can actually change the position of the lip, particularly in the upper lip. You can drop the upper lip in patients who have a gummy smile. In the lower lip toxins are more difficult to use this way, but sometimes filler can be helpful.

Your request for lip augmentation to prevent too much lower teeth show is interesting. It is hard to evaluate without an exam. It may or may not help.
