My Gum Lift Experience, 21 Y/o

Just wanted to share a brief summary of my gym lift experience in Tampa, FL. I have spotted pigmentation across my gums that made me feel insecure smiling big in photos. I initially sought out laser gum depigmentation (which I discuss in a separate review) and was proposed a gum lift to not only make my smile bigger post braces but also cut back the gums to avoid seeing the pigment.

I was put under anesthesia and woke up to a moderately sore mouth where my front (6) gums were cut and stitched. I was given full direction from Dr. Van Aelst and my healing process was smooth. I’ve been very confident since I had this procedure and I have now decided to revisit the idea of laser gum depigmentation to eliminate the dark spots entirely with my periodontist in Las Vegas, NV.
