Gummy Smile
Discussing how much gum shows when you smile.
A “gummy smile” can relate to how the upper lip lifts. In selected cases, anti-wrinkle treatment may reduce that lift a little. It is not a dental procedure and will not change tooth position.
Who may consider it
If the amount of gum you show when you smile bothers you, it can be part of a consultation. Suitability is assessed in person. Dental and skeletal factors may mean this is not the right approach.
During consultation
Your practitioner will look at lip length, smile pattern and whether a modest change is realistic. Treatment is never guaranteed to produce a particular smile.

Related questions
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
They are prescription medicines (botulinum toxin type A, including Botox® where appropriate) placed into selected muscles to reduce movement that contributes to lines. They are discussed only after consultation. They are not a skin cream and they are not permanent.
How long does an appointment take?
A consultation is typically around 30 minutes. If treatment is agreed at a later or same-day visit, the treatment itself is often brief. Allow extra time for questions.
When might I notice changes?
Some people notice a change in movement over several days. The timing is individual. We will not give you a guaranteed date or a guaranteed appearance.
How long can results last?
Duration varies between people and between treatment areas. It is temporary. Your practitioner can talk through typical ranges without promising yours will match them.
Will I still look natural?
That is how we plan. Frozen or heavy brows are not the aesthetic we work toward. Honest assessment includes the option of less treatment, or none.
Is there downtime?
Many people continue their day afterwards. Small marks, redness or a feeling of tightness can happen. Aftercare is explained in clinic. Your experience may differ.
What happens during consultation?
We discuss your goals, medical history relevant to treatment, and examine how your face moves. You should leave understanding options, limitations and next steps — including if we recommend waiting.
How do I know how much treatment I need?
You don’t decide a dose from a website. Quantity, if any, is a clinical decision based on muscle strength, anatomy and the look you want. That is why we do not sell “standard packages” online.
Why don’t you publish fixed prices?
Because a forehead is not a product with one barcode. Plans differ. We would rather talk about your face first, then about investment, than the other way around.

A consultation is how we understand your face, your goals, and whether treatment is appropriate — not a commitment to proceed.
