Lip Lift and gummy smile - Will this affect my eligibility? (photos)

Question

I am told I aM a good candidate for lip lift , however I have a pretty gummy smile. Will this affect my eligibility?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.  If you already have a prominent gummy smile then this can make the situation worse.

Best Wishes,

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
