What Is Gummy Smile Correction?

Gummy smile correction is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce the amount of gum visibility when you smile. Many people experience excessive upper gum show due to a hyperactive upper-lip elevator muscle, thin lip structure, or hereditary factors. Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin is used to gently relax the muscle responsible for lifting the upper lip too high, allowing the smile to appear softer, more proportional, and naturally balanced.

For individuals who also have a thin upper lip, adding subtle dermal fillers may enhance results by offering additional coverage and improved symmetry. Every treatment is tailored to your anatomy and goals to ensure a natural-looking transformation.

How Gummy Smile Correction Works

Step 1: Comprehensive Smile Assessment

Your injector evaluates lip movement, gum visibility, facial proportions, and the strength of the upper-lip elevator muscle. This helps determine the ideal injection points and whether fillers may also help.

Step 2: Precise Botox Injection

A few tiny injections are placed strategically into the levator labii muscles, gently reducing their pull. This prevents the upper lip from excessively lifting when you smile.

Step 3: Natural Improvement Over Days

As the muscle relaxes over three to seven days, your smile appears more proportionate and less “gummy,” while still retaining full expression and facial mobility.

Step 4: Optional Lip Enhancement

Patients with thin or flat upper lips may benefit from a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler to soften the appearance even further.

What to Expect During Treatment

Gummy smile correction is a fast, highly tolerable procedure. Most appointments take fewer than 15 minutes, and numbing is typically unnecessary due to the extremely small needle size. You may feel a slight pinch during the injections, but discomfort is minimal and brief. Because there’s no downtime, you can return to work or social plans immediately after your visit.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients experience virtually no downtime. Mild temporary swelling or small injection marks may appear but fade quickly. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying face down, or massaging the treated area for four hours after treatment. Within a week, your smile will appear more relaxed and balanced, and full results will become clear within two weeks.

Results: What You Can Expect

Gummy smile correction provides a subtle but meaningful improvement, helping your upper lip rest in a more natural position when you smile. The results typically last three to four months, with many patients returning seasonally to maintain their preferred look. When combined with dermal fillers, results may appear softer and even more balanced.

Most importantly, treatment allows you to smile confidently without overthinking it—restoring comfort in photos, conversations, and everyday moments.

Frequently Asked Questions Gummy Smile Correction

How does gummy smile correction work?

Botox is injected into the hyperactive muscles that elevate the upper lip too far when smiling. By relaxing these muscles, the upper lip doesn’t rise as high, reducing gum exposure while maintaining natural expression.

Who is a good candidate for this treatment?

Anyone bothered by excessive upper gum show may be a candidate. Individuals with hyperactive upper-lip muscles or thin lips often benefit most. A consultation helps confirm the best approach for your anatomy.

Is the procedure painful?

Discomfort is minimal thanks to the tiny needles used. Most patients report only brief, mild pinches during the injection process.

Will the results look natural?

Yes. Our skilled injectors use conservative dosing to ensure your smile still looks expressive and genuine—just with less gum visibility.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients notice an improvement within three to seven days, with full effects developing by the two-week mark.

How long do results last?

Results typically last three to four months. Routine maintenance can prolong your desired look year-round.

Can gummy smile correction be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many patients pair Botox with upper-lip fillers to further balance the smile and reduce gum visibility if lip thinness is contributing to the issue.
