Answer: Botox for gummy smile Thank you for your question. Treating the gummy smile really depends on assessing what is contributing to the gummy smile. There are two muscle sets that are often targeted with the gummy smile and depending on the degree of gummy show and which muscle set is dominating the gummy smile determines the target muscle as well as the dosage.

Answer: I did Botox a week ago for gummy smile and now upper lip goes down and is looking bad? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I would allow another full week to go by to ensure that all of your Botox has begun to work as it may correct any subtle asymmetry. Unfortunately if you still do not like your smile at that time you will have to wait until the Botox wears off to regain your former appearance. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botox for the Gummy Smile Thank you for your question jsearena. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expressions. A small amount of Botox (2-4 units per side) can be placed just to the side of the nostrils to address the gummy smile. The gummy smile is seen in some people who when they smile, the lips go up so much that the gums are visible in addition to the teeth. Results are assessed by comparing pictures of the patient smiling before and at least two weeks after a treatment. Please follow up with your doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Gummy smile trouble Thanks for the question. based on these pictures I am not sure what we are looking at in terms of before and after photos and what you are concerned about exactly. Botox for gummy smile works by weakening the muscle that pulls the lip up. By doing this the upper lip is allowed to fall down a bit more so that when you smile it doesn't pull all the way up and show the gum lines. I usually only use about 2 units on each side, because if you use too much then you will get a longer lip and an overcorrection. good thing is that the botox will wear off in a couple months.
