Hi Anna I have always been a little self conscious of my gummy smile and a friend told me that lip fillers can help alleviate this. Is this true? If so, can you tell me more about the process and how often would injections be needed? Thank you so very much, Monica.

Hi Monica! Thanks for your question! This is such a common concern we hear from our patients. A gummy smile occurs when you smile and your lip raises above your gums. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, sometimes it does make people feel self-conscious. The good news is that it’s easily treatable! I know we often think of using filler around the lips, but actually, a super effective treatment for a gummy smile is Botox®. A little bit of strategically placed Botox® can help relax the muscle, concealing your exposed gum. In addition to Botox®, fillers can be used to add more volume and definition to the lips, which can even further enhance your smile. Botox® will need to be repeated every 3 to 4 months, and lip filler typically lasts up to a year. You can expect the Botox® to kick in within 14 days; With lip filler, you’ll immediately notice some swelling and potentially some light bruising after your treatment that will dissipate after a few days. As always, the first step in getting started is scheduling a consultation with a seasoned nurse injector to help craft the exact plans for your goals. With 4 locations in the Triangle (including a new one in Wake Forest!), we are more than ready to help you look and feel your best at Synergy.
