My upper teeth don't show when I smile, what can be done to make them more visible? (Photos)

There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy. My preferred surgical technique is called the Elelyft, which is a version of the bullhorn approach. 
The ideal candidate for the Elelyft, or upper lip lift, is someone with a philtral length of 14mm or longer, no upper dental show, and/or a thin upper lip. The nasal base to mouth width ratio needs to be taken into consideration to avoid leaving the lip corners down. I have been doing this surgery on more and more men, who come from all over the world, and they tend to heal great. Make sure your surgeon understands hair follicles and how to preserve them.Gary Linkov, MDLip SpecialistManhattan

Lip lift may be the key. This is a nice way to get more tooth show. It's done right in the office and only takes about 30 minutes.  We do many of these each week.Watch our video to learn more.
