Before proceeding to surgery, consider botox in the upper lip.  A small amount (4-8 units) can lengthen the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum that shows when you smile.  This is a temporary (and relatively inexpensive and noninvasive) solution.

Lip lowering techniques are challenging to perform. I would recommend not doing them with a rhinoplasty, but one can do it with an otoplasty. One must be very cognisant of how this procedure is done as results can be unpredictable.

Deformity of the lower lip can be significantly improved with the transposition of a local lip flap, similar to the reconstruction of a wistle deformity. An in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in cleft lip reconstruction is recommended. Good luck.

Best for a gummy smile is getting a bit of Botox injected to the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN) muscle, right by the side of your nose. It will last about 3 months. It's easy and simple and no tooth drilling, veneers and expensive dental upkeep required.

Any people have redundant upper lip mucous membrane with smiling. This can be easily marked and excised with local anesthetic in an office setting. The scar would be inside your mouth and it should result in no bulge with smiling. Great question! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
