Hello, I completed 3 years in braces to correct an overjet and now my upper lip doesn't protrude as much, making me look older. In addition, when I smile or laugh, my upper lip rolls under giving me a "gummy" smile that I've always hated. Will a filler like Volbella help alleviate the gummy smile, or will it only plump my upper lip? Thank you!
Answer: Will Volbella Correct Gummy Smile? Botox Corrects Gummy Smiles; Volbella Corrects Asymmetry and Adds Volume An expert with lip augmentation and correction can relax your upper lip with Botox so that it doesn’t roll under, revealing your gums when you smile. A touch of Volbella could be used to correct the slight asymmetry in your upper lip, too. You could add volume as well, but that’s up to you. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will help you get a more relaxed and flattering smile.

Answer: Gummy smile Dear Iceprincessdd,Thank you for your question and photos. I would recommend a combination of Botox and fillers to help with your gummy smile. Botox into the muscles above the lips will relax the muscles and prevent the gummy smile. Fillers will give you fuller lips. I have seen great results with this combination. When you are ready, please look at before and after photos on my website and we can set up a complimentary in-person consultation to address your concerns and answer all of your questions.Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Answer: Upper lip rolls under when I smile - how to help a gummy smile? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Fillers like Volbella will only increase the size of your upper/lower lip and will not materially address your gummy smile. I do advocate a hyaluronic acid filler into your lip to help maintain its fullness when you smile. As for your gummy smile I would recommend a small amount of botox to either side of your nose to help lower your lip and prevent the excessive gum show. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport Results--Lasts 3-4 months in new areas of treatment Thanks for sending in the photos. I have seen many people in your situation. Botox/Dysport injected in nasi muscle above the lip, relaxes the muscle. I would also recommend lip filler as well. Just a little in your top and bottom lips. Trust me it makes all the difference when you smile, your top lip won't disappear. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a dermal filler expert. Best, Dr. Emer
