Gummy Smile Botox

Gummy Smile Correction

Smile again with Confidence!
Three basic elements are involved in every smile, the lips, gums and teeth. The correct position of the lips and gums in relation to the teeth can highlight beautiful teeth, while exposing too much gum can make a smile look less attractive. The smile that exposes too much of the gums is called Gummy Smile and is now corrected very easily and bloodlessly with two aesthetic treatments, Gummy Smile Botox and Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid, which can be applied either individually or in combination with each other.

What is a Gummy Smile?

It is reasonable to wonder how much gum should be visible between the teeth and the lips in order for the smile to be aesthetically beautiful. The truth is that there are many opinions, even among experts. Orthodontists for example consider the exposure of 2mm the limit for an attractive smile, Dentists set the limit at 4mm, while in the same survey the general population set the limit at 3mm.

How is Gummy Smile Botox done?

Botox is applied to the muscles located between the nose and the upper lip, which are responsible for pulling the upper lip. The injections of the medication is done by the qualified Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons of our Clinics, with small intramuscular injections at the appropriate points, thus mitigating the nerve stimulus that causes the muscles to contract. That way, the muscle relaxes, for as long as the medication's effect lasts and this prevents the appearance of gums, when someone smiles. The treatment is incredibly effective and offers a spectacular result that lasts 4 - 6 months and is recommended to be repeated a total of 2-3 times a year, for maintenance of a stable result.

The Botox treatment can be applied alone and give an excellent aesthetic result (e.g. on male faces) or it can be combined with the following Lip Augmentation treatment (e.g. on female faces).

How is Lip Augmentation performed to correct a gummy smile?

It is done by injecting hyaluronic acid in order to beautifully and harmoniously increase the upper lip and thus cover the distance between the gums and the teeth. Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics in Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics is a special filler. It is used only for Lip Augmentation, with a special composition that ensures that the lips remain soft and elastic and both their appearance and feeling will be completely natural.

Hyaluronic acid is the ideal way to add extra volume to your lips, make them plumper and emphasise their outline, with the innovative Superstar Lips Protocol for which we received the first national award (Gold Award) at Medical Beauty Awards. Respecting your anatomical features, Superstar Lips helps you achieve exactly what its name suggests. Stunning Lips like the ones you admire on famous women, that will transform you into... a Superstar! It is important to emphasise that for the correction of the gummy smile, Gummy Smile Botox can be applied alone or it can be combined with Superstar Lips, for impressive results.

Medical History - Smile Assessment

Before the treatment, there is always a consultation with the Doctor. At this appointment, the Doctor will assess the condition of your lips, the degree of exposure of your gums and the appropriate treatment plan will be created.

Instructions Before Gummy Smile Botox Treatment

icon

Avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. Mesulid, Brufen, Voltaren) and analgesics (e.g. aspirin) for at least one week before the treatment, as they increase the possibility of bleeding and therefore bruising, during the treatment.

icon

Also avoid taking vitamins and multivitamin preparations, for at least one week before the treatment, as these are substances that increase the bleeding tendency and consequently the risk of bruising.

icon

It would be best not to consume alcohol 24 hours before your treatment.

Instructions After Gummy Smile Botox Treatment

icon

You can return to your activities immediately, as long as you do not touch the area, where the medicine was injected, for at least the first 4 hours.

icon

Avoid lying down for the first 4 hours after treatment. This will prevent the medicine from moving into the surrounding area and causing complications.

icon

It is best to avoid vigorous aerobic exercise for 1 day.

Try to avoid hot showers and excessive sun exposure for the next 2 days.

icon

Avoid alcohol and aspirin for 1 day after your treatment.

How to make Gummy Smile Botox last longer

Avoid excessive exposure to heat and sun
Direct exposure to heat and UV rays can cause the muscles to contract, breaking down the Botox and reducing its longevity.
Avoid alcohol consumption
Drinking alcohol can increase blood flow and metabolism, which can break down the Botox faster.
Follow the recommended dosing and interval
Overdosing or underdosing can affect the longevity of Botox, so it is important to follow the recommended dosing and interval, as advised by your medical professional.
Maintenance of effect
To extend the life of Botox, schedule maintenance treatments, before the effect wears off completely. Repeated treatments "train" the muscles to respond to this medication, for a longer period of time.

Gummy Smile Botox- Before & After

Botox treatments are one of Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinic's Signature treatments and for our results we have been awarded at the Medical Beauty Awards. Gummy Smile Botox is used to correct a gummy smile. In this way, the muscle relaxes, for as long as the effect of the drug lasts, and this prevents the appearance of gums. 

Myths & Truths About Gummy Smile Botox

Myth: The effect of Gummy Smile Botox is permanent

Truth: The results of gummy smile correction are not permanent. Botox injections usually provide temporary results that last for a few months, usually around 4-6 months. Over time, the effects gradually disappear, as the muscles’ activity return to their normal function.

Myth: Gummy Smile Botox affects speech and facial expressions

Truth: The application of Gummy Smile Botox by qualified Doctors who know the anatomy of the area does not affect speech or facial expressions. The treatment targets specific muscles around the mouth, allowing the selective reduction of gum exposure, while maintaining natural lip movements.

Myth: Results are immediate

Truth: While some people may notice initial changes within a few days, the effect of Gummy Smile Botox will take up to one week to become apparent.
Myth: Gummy Smile Botox will make my smile look unnatural
Truth: Gummy Smile Botox promotes natural-looking results when performed correctly. The target is to reduce excessive gum exposure, while maintaining a balanced and aesthetically pleasant smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

As an injectable treatment, Gummy Smile Botox can cause some minor discomfort, but the needles used to administer it are so fine that the discomfort is actually very mild and tolerable. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, most patients rate it a "1 or 2". However, if you wish, the Doctor can numb the area 10-20 minutes before the treatment by applying a local anaesthetic cream.
It is recommended to repeat the treatment 2-3 times a year, when the body has fully metabolised the substance and mobility returns to the area, so that you can maintain a nice and natural result.
A single session of Gummy Smile Botox is enough to achieve the desired results. Additional sessions may be scheduled if you wish to combine this treatment with Superstar Lips to further enhance the lip area.
Gummy Smile Botox can be used to address smile asymmetry and create a new, more balanced smile by relaxing specific muscles on one side of the face if needed.

Yes, Gummy Smile Botox is suitable for both men and women. It is a cosmetic procedure designed to address the appearance of a gummy smile, by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip.

No, it is not allowed to be applied during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Gummy Smile Botox can be administered to people aged 18 and over, if they are experiencing this problem. There is no age restriction for this treatment and it can be done even on teenagers with the consent of their parents.

When the Gummy Smile Botox treatment is applied by an experienced Doctor, qualified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon, then it is absolutely safe. Only some mild and transient side effects may occur, such as pain, swelling or even bruising at the injection sites. These are temporary side effects that go away after a few days and you don't need to worry. It is important to know that Botox is an approved medication and has received the approval of the European Medicines Agency, as well as the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Muscle weakness or collapse near the injection site are rare side effects, which can sometimes happen, especially when someone exceeds the dose or does not follow the Doctor's instructions properly. It is important to choose a qualified professional who has the training and experience to perform Gummy Smile Botox injections safely and effectively. A qualified Doctor will take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of side effects and ensure that you are fully informed of any potential risks before undergoing the treatment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Botox is prohibited for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Allergies: People who are allergic to any component of the Botox formulation should not receive the treatment.

Neuromuscular disorders: People with certain neuromuscular disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not get Botox.

Infections: People with skin infections at injection sites should not receive Botox until the infection has healed.

Bleeding disorders: People with bleeding disorders or those taking blood-thinning medications have a relative contraindication to Botox, as it increases the risk of bleeding and bruising at injection sites.

Previous Botox reaction: People who have previously had an adverse reaction to Botox should not receive the treatment again.

It's important to discuss your medical history, current health status and any concerns with your practitioner to determine if Botox is safe and appropriate for you.
