Gummy smile before and after
How does a gummy smile treatment work?
First, a practitioner examines your gummy smile to determine where the injections will be placed. Then, two injections with a muscle relaxant are administered under the nose and above your upper lip. The muscles that pull up your upper lip are relaxed. The upper lip will pull up less during smiling, reducing the visibility of the gums.
During smiling, lines or folds may also appear next to your mouth, which are also called nasolabial folds. These folds can make you look older, even if you’re not. You can reduce their visibility with fillers. A filler treatment fills in the folds so you no longer have to worry about them. Furthermore, the treatment is painless, so anesthesia is not necessary.

Schedule a non-binding consultation to discuss your wishes and expectations with the practitioner. Based on this, the practitioner will provide you with appropriate advice. During the consultation, the practitioner will examine your face and take some photos so you can compare the result after the treatment. This allows you to see if your wishes have been met.
First, the practitioner examines your gums to determine where the injections will be placed. Then, two injections are administered just below the nose and directly above the upper lip. These injections relax the muscles that pull up the upper lip temporarily. The treatment is painless, so anesthesia is not necessary. The treatment takes about 15 minutes.
You may not exercise for up to 24 hours after the treatment and should avoid visiting saunas or sunbeds for up to 2 weeks after the treatment. UV exposure can make the treated skin extra sensitive and affect the result of the treatment.

The result of a gummy smile treatment
The optimal result is visible after just two weeks. You’ll see less gum when smiling, and you have (again) a radiant smile. Muscle relaxants have reduced the upper lip from pulling up, reducing the visibility of the gums. Your upper lip itself can be accentuated with muscle relaxants with the lip flip.
If you’re not satisfied after the two-week period, you’re welcome for a follow-up. This appointment should take place within 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment. The effect will last about 3 months. Do you have smoker’s lines? These lines are just above your upper lip and can interfere with a radiant smile. Fillers can fill in these lines.
Gummy Smile Aftercare
After a treatment, you can move the injected area normally. Within the first 48 hours after treatment, do not massage or rub the area, unless advised by the cosmetic doctor. It is possible that you may experience bruising or swelling after treatment; in this case, it is advisable to cool the area.
Bruising can be camouflaged with makeup a few hours after treatment when the puncture holes are closed. Furthermore, you should not exercise within 48 hours after treatment and avoid saunas or sunbeds for 2 weeks after treatment. UV exposure can make the skin extra sensitive and affect the result.
