Gummy smile - Before & After
Gummy smile Treatment - M1 MED BEAUTY
For most of us, smiling is one of the most common movements our faces make. However, it can make many of us self-conscious if we aren’t happy with how we look when we smile.
Those affected by excess gingival display can feel very uncomfortable with their smile. Gummy smile is when someone’s smile reveals more of the gum tissue than is typical. This is generally caused by a hyperactive muscle that causes the upper lip to pull the lip higher than is normal or can be because you have more gum tissue than is typical.
Gummy smile can easily be treated using anti-ageing product. After you have consulted with one of our M1 Cosmetic Doctors in either or London or Liverpool clinics and decided this procedure is right for you, a specific amount of product will be injected by our doctors into the upper lip. This will work to relax the hypermobile muscle in the lip, preventing it from contracting excessively, reducing the amount of gum shown when you smile.
Excessive gingival display procedure generally takes about 20 minutes. Effects from procedure are not immediately visible. The product will slowly relax the upper lip and the amount of gum shown when you smile will be fully reduced after two weeks. Results generally last up to 4 months.
