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: 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

Answer: Upper lip rolls under when I smile - how to help a gummy smile? Thanks for posting your photos. You likely need a combination of dermal filler and Botox/Dysport. A formal consultation will be required and you may need several sessions with careful follow up. Be sure the person you choose to do your injections is someone you can build a longterm patient-doctor relationship to maintain your results.
