Only 4 of my teeth show when smiling and I don’t know what I can do to fix it? (photo)

tamm2963Nov 12, 2017
When I smile it’s so small and unglued. Even when I talk my teeth barely show or maybe the front two. I don’t know if I need jaw surgery or something to change it, or if braces would fix the problem. I just want to have a nice smile and not creepy. Thanks for any feedback you can offer. I had lip fillers done 7 months ago if that helps I noticed smile was a bit smaller, but still was similar before.

Lip fillers won't permanently change lip color. There can be some swelling and inflammation after lip fillers, which resolves after 1-2 weeks. I hope this helps.

Lip augmentations with fillers would be a great option to improve the fullness, suppleness and symmetry of the lips. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising.  I hope this helps.

This is difficult to answer without photos. Everyone has some asymmetries. I recommend getting a formal consultation. Fillers can be used to improve lip symmetry. I hope this helps.

Hi TO3784, Each practitioner will have a different policy. If you were my patient and I had injected you to begin with, I would not charge you for any correction that was necessary.  If you had your injection elsewhere with a different injector and came to me after the fact...

Hi @leahkatiex! I would avoid dermal fillers and botox while pregnant and breastfeeding--there is not enough studies done. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
