Gummy smile botox is one of the aesthetic medical procedures used to reduce the condition where the upper gums show more than normal during smiling. When the upper lip moves too far upward while smiling, the gums may become visibly prominent. Botox treatment aims to achieve a more balanced smile appearance by allowing the controlled relaxation of certain muscles that play a role in lip movement.
Before the procedure, the movement of the upper lip and gum visibility during smiling are evaluated. Appropriate injection points are determined according to the person's facial anatomy and muscle structure. By administering small doses of botulinum toxin, the movement of the muscles that pull the upper lip upward is intended to be reduced in a controlled manner. The procedure is usually completed in a short time, and a quick return to daily life is possible.
Gummy smile botox may help make the upper gums less visible during smiling and make lip movement more balanced. The effects of the procedure may vary from person to person and are not permanent. Depending on the cause of the gummy smile, botox may not be a suitable option for everyone.
To preserve a natural smile, it is important that lip movements and facial anatomy are evaluated by a specialist before the procedure. For safe and balanced results, it is important that the procedure is performed by an experienced and qualified healthcare professional with personalized planning.
