Gummy Smile

Gummy Smile Treatment (Anti-Wrinkle Injections)

If you feel self-conscious because your upper gums are overly visible when you smile, you may have what is commonly known as a "Gummy Smile." At The Foreveryou Aesthetics Clinic, we offer a simple, non-surgical solution using anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles that over-lift the upper lip.

This treatment is a quick and effective "tweakment" that lowers the lip line just enough to cover the gums while maintaining a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile is often caused by hyperactive muscles in the upper lip—specifically the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi (LLSAN).

When you smile, these muscles contract too strongly, pulling the upper lip significantly higher than the gum line. Other factors can include a short upper lip or the way your jaw and teeth are positioned, but for most, muscle relaxation is the easiest and most effective fix.

How the Treatment Works

Using a very fine needle, Laura Nassa administers tiny, precise doses of Botulinum Toxin into the area beside the nostrils.

• Targeted Relaxation: The Botox temporarily reduces the upward pull of the lip muscles.

• Balanced Elevation: When you smile, the lip remains at a lower level, elegantly framing your teeth without revealing excessive gum tissue.

• Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical gum contouring or jaw surgery, this involves no scalpels, no stitches, and no downtime.

Key Benefits

• Instant Confidence: Feel free to smile broadly without worrying about how much gum is showing.

• Harmonious Results: The treatment enhances your natural smile rather than changing it.

• Softened Appearance: It can also help smooth out deep nasolabial folds (smile lines) that are deepened by heavy lip lifting.

• Quick & Painless: The procedure takes less than 10 minutes and is virtually painless.

"A smile should be a source of joy, not a source of insecurity. This treatment is one of my favorites because the result is so subtle, yet the boost in confidence is huge." — Laura Nassa
