What type of surgery can fix this severe case of a gummy smile without tampering the upper lip? (Photo)

August 2, 2015
Asked By:SophieCA in Toronto, ON

I've always been self-conscious about my gummy smile. To be completely honest, my gummy smile only shows when I am laughing or smiling very widely. I am able to hide it most of the time (minimizing laughing, covering mouth, mid-smile) but I am very tired of doing so. I don't really feel comfortable doing anything to my fix so I don't want to do anything to my lips. What type of surgeries would fix this? And what would be the approximate prices? Thank you for your time.
