Botox for Gummy Smile

Botox is a well-known, FDA-approved treatment used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including a gummy smile. A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip lifts too high, exposing more gums than you’d prefer. By relaxing the muscles around your upper lip, Botox can help reduce the amount of gum that shows when you smile

Botox Treatment for a
Gummy Smile

Here’s how it works:

Consultation

First, we’ll sit down and
discuss your concerns and goals for your smile.

Preparation

The areas around your upper
lip will be cleaned and prepped for the injections.

Injections

Botox is carefully injected into specific muscles that control how much your upper lip moves.

Relaxation

The Botox then works to relax those muscles, stopping your lip from lifting too high and showing too much gum tissue.

Aftercare

After treatment, you can
get back to your daily routine
right away, with little to no downtime.

It’s a safe and effective way to fix a gummy smile without any surgery.

How Many Botox Units Will I Need
for a Gummy Smile?

The number of units depends on your muscle activity and the look you’re aiming for. Usually, 2 to 5 units are injected on each side of your
upper lip. We’ll determine the right amount for you during your consultation.

How Long Do the
Results Last?

The effects of Botox for a gummy smile usually
last around 3 to 4 months. Over time, your muscles will gradually regain movement, which can bring the gummy smile back. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain the results.

Where is Botox Injected for a Gummy Smile?

Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for
lifting your upper lip, specifically the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN). These injections target the problem area without affecting other parts of your face, resulting in a more natural, balanced smile.

How Much Does Botox for a Gummy Smile Cost?

The cost typically ranges from $200 to $500 per
session, depending on how many units are needed and your personalized treatment plan. We’ll provide a clear cost estimate during your consultation.

Who is a Good Candidate for Gummy Smile Botox?

If you’re bothered by how much gum tissue shows when
you smile and are looking for a simple, non-surgical solution, Botox could be a great option. It’s ideal for people in good health who want a quick, effective treatment with realistic expectations for the outcome.

I loved my first experience at Syra Aesthetic! I had Dr. Hanif as my provider, and she thoroughly educated me on a treatment plan for my concerns. We did a Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling treatment, and I loved the results. I have already booked another treatment in a month from now!
