Gummy Smile Treatment with Botox
A confident smile should make you feel radiant—not self-conscious. But for some women and men, smiling reveals more than just teeth—it exposes a noticeable portion of the upper gums, often referred to as a “gummy smile.” While this is a completely natural variation, many individuals seek subtle correction to balance their smile and feel more confident in photos, conversations, and everyday moments.
What Is a Gummy Smile?
Clinically known as excessive gingival display, a gummy smile occurs when the upper lip lifts too high when smiling, exposing more than 3–4 mm of gum tissue. While there’s no strict definition of what’s “too much,” it often comes down to personal perception.
Gummy smiles are usually caused by:
-
A hyperactive upper lip that lifts too far when smiling
-
Short or overexposed upper teeth
-
Excess gum tissue (gingival overgrowth)
-
Jaw positioning or facial structure (vertical maxillary excess)
How Neuromodulators Like Botox or Nuceiva Can Help
At Skinfidelity, we offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment using neuromodulators like Botox or Nuceiva to correct a gummy smile.
By precisely injecting small amounts of neuromodulator into the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle (the one responsible for lifting the upper lip), we temporarily reduce the upward pull of the lip, resulting in a more balanced and natural-looking smile.
Benefits of this treatment:
-
Fast and virtually painless (treatment takes just minutes)
-
No surgery, no downtime
-
Natural-looking results that enhance—not change—your smile
-
Results typically last 3–4 months, with regular upkeep recommended
⚠️ Risks and Why Injector Experience Matters
Though this treatment is simple, precision is critical. The muscles involved are delicate and located near areas that control lip movement and expression. If performed incorrectly, you may experience:
-
An unnatural or uneven smile
-
Difficulty with certain facial movements
-
Overcorrection, leading to a stiff or restricted appearance
At Skinfidelity, your treatment is performed by medically trained professionals with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques. We tailor every dose to your unique musculature, ensuring safe, subtle, and balanced results.
