A gummy smile is characterised by the display of an excessive amount of gum tissue when smiling. This occurs when the upper lip lifts too far above the teeth, leading some to feel self-conscious about their smile. At Dr Emma Clinics, we offer treatment to address this concern by relaxing the muscles in the upper lip using injectables to reduce its elevation. In some cases, a combination of injectable treatments and dermal fillers is used to augment the lip, achieving a more balanced and confident smile.
As part of our clinic policy, all new patients receiving aesthetic or skin treatments must undergo a skin scan. Please arrive makeup-free to ensure an accurate assessment and personalised treatment plan.
