Gummy smile - Before & After

Gummy smile, or excess gingival display, is when the upper lip is pulled higher than normal and excessive gum is shown above the tooth when a person smiles.

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.

Frequently asked questions on Gummy smile

If you are considering this treatment, please read our guidelines for aesthetic treatments.
Gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, is when someone’s smile displays too much gum. This is generally caused by an hyperactive upper lip which pulls the lip up further above the teeth and gumline than it should when you smile.
Treating a hypermobile lip with anti-ageing injections relaxes it, preventing the top lip from lifting. One of our doctors will examine your smile and how much gum tissue is visible. After this, they will administer the anti-aging treatment into the muscle in the lip using very fine needles.
Cosmetic treatments including gummy smile are relatively pain-free. Our products contain a local anaesthetic that begins to work from the first injection.
Results from anti-aging treatments are not immediately visible. The effects will become visible slowly after 14 days, leaving you with a beautiful smile. The results are long-lasting, and typically will last between 3 and 4 months.

As well as gummy smile, we perform a number of other anti-aging treatments in our clinics in both London or Liverpool, including forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. We also perform a number of dermal filler treatments including lip enhancement, chin contouring and cheek augmentation.

Some minor bruising and swelling may occur, but will subside within 2-3 days.It is recommended to avoid excess sun exposure, solariums, saunas and exercise 2-3 days after your treatment to not affect your results.
