Gummy Smile
Showing too much gum when smiling?
A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip moves into a position too high when a person smiles, which results in a lot of the gum showing.
It is normal to see some gum when smiling. However, excessive gum being shown when smiling can be bothersome for some individuals.
How does it work?
We treat gummy smiles by relaxing the overactive upper lip muscle (LLSAN) by injecting a tiny bolus of botulium toxin into the muscle.
As a result, it relaxes and, in turn, significantly reduces the appearance of the gummy smile when smiling.
This treatment can be performed alongside many of our other treatments at our Kingston and Marylebone, London clinic.
You can find some examples of gummy smile botox before and after images on our gallery page. Here is a link to see some gummy smile before and after pictures.

No they are not the same. Lip flip is when we treat the upper lip muscle to help evert the top lip. However, this is something that we do not offer at Karwal Aesthetics because we find that the result is not very appealing and also very subtle. We find that you will have better lip eversion with gummy smile botox.
