Gummy Smile Botox at Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, Incheon
Correct Excessive Gum Exposure for a Balanced, Confident Smile
Gummy Smile Botox is a quick, non-surgical solution for patients who show too much gum tissue when smiling. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer precise Botox injections to relax the upper lip muscles, allowing the lip to cover the gums more naturally—resulting in a more balanced and attractive smile.
Understanding Gummy Smile Botox
A "gummy smile" occurs when the upper lip elevates excessively, revealing an excessive amount of gum tissue when smiling. Botox (botulinum toxin type A) works by gently relaxing the hyperactive muscles that lift the upper lip, helping to:
- Lower the upper lip slightly when smiling
- Minimize gum visibility without affecting speech or eating
- Create a more proportional and harmonious smile
- Avoid the need for invasive surgery or lip repositioning
- Improve self-confidence in photos and social interactions
The procedure is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate gummy smile caused by muscular movement rather than dental or skeletal factors.
Consultation & Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central
During your consultation, our dermatologist will assess:
- Degree of gum exposure when smiling
- Movement and strength of the upper lip elevator muscles (especially the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi)
- Lip length, tooth visibility, and facial symmetry
- Suitability for Botox vs. surgical correction or orthodontic approaches
An injection strategy will be tailored to your anatomy to ensure subtle, natural improvement.
Treatment Options Available
- Standard Gummy Smile Botox
Small amounts of Botox are injected into the muscles that overly lift the upper lip, reducing gum exposure while preserving a natural smile. - Asymmetric Smile Correction
For patients whose gummy smile is more noticeable on one side, Botox is applied in varying doses to restore balance. - Combination with Lip Flip or Fillers
To enhance the effect, Botox can be combined with a lip flip or dermal fillers for added fullness and contour of the upper lip. - Gummy Smile Correction for Younger Patients
Safe and effective for individuals in their 20s and 30s seeking subtle smile enhancement without commitment to surgery. - Maintenance Treatments
Regular sessions every 4–6 months help maintain the desired smile aesthetics and prevent the return of excessive gum visibility.
