Gummy Smile Botulinum Toxin Application
A gummy smile refers to an excessive display of the gums when smiling. To reduce gum visibility and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile, botulinum toxin can be applied to the muscles that raise the lips when smiling.
After the application, the gum visibility decreases when smiling, with noticeable results in about 2 weeks.
If botulinum toxin alone does not significantly reduce the gum visibility, it may be combined with lip fillers for enhanced results.
