I would like my lips plumped up a good amount, and can't figure out if that would help the gums be covered or if it's too separate procedures. I don't know what doctor to go to.

Answer: Gummy smile and lips Thank you for your question. Hylauronic acid products such as Restylane or Juvederm are excellent for lip enhancement. Depending on the amount of volume you desire, there are products developed and marketed specifically for use in the lips. Your gummy smile is a totally separate issue. The technical term is vertical maxillary excess and has to do with the height of your maxilla, or bone of the middle portion of your face. Botox can be used to temporarily correct or improve the smile but it impacts your smile appearance, needs repeat injections every 3-4 months and can affect your ability to purse your lips. The gold standard treatment for this is surgical and involves shortening the bone. Although it seems excessive, it can make a significant impact to the symmetry and appearance of your face. I suggest an evaluation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Gummy smile For the gummy smile, sometimes a little bit of botox can help. If you feel that your lips are not full, then fillers can be added.

Answer: Neurotoxin and filler You have a bit of a "gummy" smile, so a small amount of neurotoxin like Botox or Dysport above your upper lip will relax that muscle and make the area temporarily longer, covering the gums at least partly, and any number of fillers in your lips will look lovely.
