Botox Gummy Smile
A radiant smile can uplift your confidence, but for some, an overly visible gum line—known as a gummy smile—can feel like a cosmetic concern. Gummy Smile occurs when the upper lip lifts too high when smiling, exposing more of the gum tissue than desired. For clients who feel self-conscious about this, Gummy Smile with Botox offers a safe, quick, and effective non-surgical option.

Long-lasting and effective results
Gummy Smile with Botox last on average 3 to 6 months. With consistent treatments, muscle response can become trained over time, leading to a longer-lasting outcome. Botox works by reducing overactivity rather than freezing the muscle completely, allowing for natural expressions without excessive gum display.
For those seeking enhanced results, gummy smile lip filler can also be considered. This filler technique complements Botox by subtly volumising the upper lip to improve structure and lip symmetry—particularly helpful when a thin upper lip contributes to gum exposure. Together, Botox and fillers offer a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to smile refinement.

Gummy Smile Botox before and after: What changes can you expect?
Viewing Gummy smile botox before and after transformations is an excellent way to visualise the subtle yet effective impact this treatment can offer. Clients often report that after just one session, they feel more confident showing their smile in photos and social settings. The upper lip sits more naturally over the teeth, significantly reducing visible gum exposure.
This botox smile correction helps maintain natural facial movement while softening the smile’s appearance. By addressing overactive lip muscles, the procedure supports a more balanced and proportionate expression. For clients exploring botox for smile correction, this procedure is a fast, effective solution for creating facial balance.
Which areas can it treat?
-
Upper Lip (Levator Labii Superioris)
Reduces the elevation of the upper lip when smiling, which in turn decreases the visibility of gum tissue.
-
Smile Zone (Perioral Muscles)
Softens over-dynamic expressions to achieve a proportionate, softer smile.
-
Gummy Lines
Addressed with precise injections to balance upper lip movement; a technique often referred to as gummy lines botox.

Additional Enhancements
Patients may benefit from filler for gummy smile to restore volume where needed and further support lip positioning.
How it works
The treatment uses botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the muscles around the upper lip that cause the excessive elevation of the lip when smiling. By reducing this muscular action, the lip stays closer to the teeth, covering the gums more effectively. This method is commonly referred to as botox and Gummy Smile treatment, and is ideal for those wanting subtle, temporary enhancement. The procedure takes just a few minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Results are visible within 3–7 days and typically last 3–6 months.
