Gummy smile treatment with Botox in Creve Coeur, MO

A gummy smile means the upper lip rises high enough when you smile that a band of gum shows above the teeth. The usual cause is simply strong lip-elevator muscles. A small amount of Botox placed on each side of the nose relaxes those elevators so the lip rests a little lower when you smile.

The teeth and gums are not treated at all. Your smile still moves naturally; it just stops over-lifting.

What to expect

  • A few units per side, about 10 minutes.
  • Results in about a week, lasting three to four months.
  • Alina starts conservatively. It is easy to add a little at a two-week check, and impossible to take away.

Questions about gummy smile

Will I look like I cannot smile?

No. The dose is small and only reduces how far the upper lip lifts. A natural smile with a little less gum showing is the goal.

Can this be combined with a lip flip?

Yes, they are often done together since both involve the upper lip.
