Hello, thank you for your inquiry! In order to fix this issue, one procedure that is recommended to patients is a lip lift. A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and top of the lip (philtrum). This is recommended for patients who want to add height instead of volume to their lips. I hope this information is useful! Thank you!
The lip lift procedure has traditionally been more for senior patients with lots of wrinkles. Recent improvements in the technique makes the incision barely visible and the procedure more predictable with better outcomes. You should seek out someone with experience with this procedure for a consultation.
For some people no upper tooth show is genetic and for others it's just a sign of aging. The solution is simple with a procedure called Lip Lift. You can try first a liquid lip lift which is done with fillers injected to emphasize the philtrum and thus shorten the distance between the tip of the nose and vermillion of the upper lip. Both are simple procedures. It's just that the filler one will need to be repeated every 6-12 months. All the best from Boston.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Generally I consider the thin upper lip and 'gummy' smile to be most reliably treated with non-surgical options using a combination of botox and filler. In my experience, generally 1 syringe of filler is enough to give you fuller lips. Your provider...
Yes, botox is an effective and cost efficient treatment for a gummy smile. It only requires a few units of botox on each side to provide a degree of relaxation to the upper lip. However, as you know, the treatment will need to be repeated every 3-4 months. A more permanent solution may require...
