Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Gummy Smile Treatment in Putney
Balancing how far the upper lip lifts, so your smile shows teeth rather than gum.
A gummy smile is not a problem with your gums or your teeth. It is usually a very efficient set of muscles in the upper lip that lift it higher than average when you smile, exposing several millimetres of gum.
A small, precisely placed dose softens the pull of those muscles. The lip still lifts, just not as far. The change is measured in millimetres and it is one of the treatments where restraint matters most, because too much affects how you speak and smile naturally.
Results show within a week and last around three to four months. This is a treatment where the two week review earns its keep, since the ideal dose varies enormously between people.

Questions
Frequently asked
It changes how far your upper lip travels, not the shape of your smile. Treated conservatively, people notice that you look balanced without being able to say what is different.
Up to about two millimetres is generally considered within the usual range. Beyond three or four millimetres is where most people start to feel self conscious, and where treatment tends to make a visible difference.
