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!

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.

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.

You can try a small amount of filler such as Restylane or Juvederm on the smaller side. Do not undergo any surgery for the lip, it can create more problems.RegardsDr. J
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...
