Frequently Asked Questions

A gummy smile treatment involves using neurotoxins (such as Botox) to relax the muscles of the upper lip. A “gummy smile” refers to the excessive gum tissue visible above the upper teeth, sometimes making the teeth appear smaller and affecting the smile’s overall aesthetic. By relaxing these muscles, less of the upper gum is exposed when you smile, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
The gummy smile treatment targets the muscles responsible for excessive gum show, whereas a lip flip focuses more on enhancing the appearance of the upper lip by giving it a slight lift. Both treatments involve neuromodulators but address different concerns—gum visibility versus lip fullness.
Generally, the effects of a gummy smile treatment last between 8 and 12 weeks, depending on how your body metabolizes the neurotoxin. Regular touch-up treatments can maintain your results.
In the first 3 to 5 days after your treatment, you should begin to see some improvement, with full results taking up to 2 weeks to develop. After your treatment, your upper lip will naturally relax, revealing less gum when you smile.
No, the goal of gummy smile treatment is to provide a subtle and natural enhancement. The treatment reduces the visibility of excess gum without having any unpleasant effect on the natural movement of your lips, which allows you to smile with confidence and achieve a more balanced look as a result.
Clients may experience a minimal amount of discomfort during the procedure, depending on the individual. A couple of small injections are done in the upper lip area, which will feel like a slight pinch. Generally, the procedure takes no longer than 15 minutes, and most people find it quite comfortable and easy to tolerate.
There is little to no downtime after the treatment. There is a chance that you might experience slight swelling or bruises at the injection, but these side effects usually subside within a few days after the injection. You can go back to your usual activities immediately following the procedure.
Yes, the gummy smile treatment can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as lip fillers, lip flips, or even Botox in different areas of the face. Your provider will help you create a personalized treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals.
It is recommended that you do not drink alcohol or use blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen within 24 hours prior to your appointment in order to prevent bruising during the procedure. Your provider may give you specific instructions during your consultation.
Since the treatment uses neurotoxins that temporarily relax muscles, the effects will naturally wear off within a few months if you are unsatisfied with the results. You can discuss any concerns with your provider, who will help you explore other treatment options if needed.
