I know that lip repositioning is traditionally done to decrease gingival show, is there a way to do the opposite if one wants to increase gingival show? I want my gums to show more when I smile.

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
Thank you for your question. Of course an examination in person by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist is required to properly answer your question.
That said if your lip asymmetry cannot be corrected by correction of your jaw issues, that a soft tissue filler may...
Your teeth and bone support the facial tissues. I suspect you have an underdevloped maxilla.
Need a picture of your upper jaw to understand if that is the problem.
If you cancel within an hour, you never received services, and there was no inconvenience to the docs office - other than losing you as a patient. The practice manager should see things your way, in my opinion. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
