Gummy Smile Treatment

Our smile is one of the most powerful ways we express happiness and connection. Its a big part of who we are. But if you're feeling self-conscious about how your smile looks it can affect your confidence in ways that others may not realise.  I understand how something as personal as a smile can have a big impact on how you feel day to day.  If more gum shows than you'd like on smiling, there are gentle and effective treatments that can help, without drastic changes to your appearance. 

​

​

1. BOTOX for gummy smile correction

A 'gummy smile' often occurs when the upper lip lifts higher than usual when smiling, exposing more of the gum line. This can be due to overactive muscles around the mouth. A small amount of botox can be carefully injected into specific muscles to reduce how much the upper lip lifts, this reduces the amount of gum on show. It's quick, minimally invasive yet has subtle, confidence-boosting results.

​

2. LIP FILLER to enhance volume and balance

Another approach to improving a gummy smile is to enhance the natural volume and shape of the lips using dermal filler. By adding volume to the upper lip, we can balance the proportions between the lip and the gum, subtly decreasing how much gum is visible when you smile. This treatment will also support lip symmetry while maintaining a soft and natural appearance

​

3. COMBINATION TREATMENT (Botox + Lip Filler)

For many clients, the most effective results come from a combination of botox and lip filler. This dual approach allows us to address both the muscle activity that lifts the upper lip, and the volume or proportion of the lips themselves. Together these treatments can create a beautifully balanced smile, helping you to feel more confident and still completely you.
