Gummy Smile Neurotoxin

Feel self-conscious when too much gum shows each time you grin? A Gummy Smile Botox treatment gently relaxes over-active lip-elevator muscles so your teeth—not your gums—take center stage, restoring a balanced, confident smile.

Gummy Smile Neurotoxin

What Is Gummy Smile Neurotoxin?

This non-surgical procedure uses tiny neurotoxin injections to soften the levator muscles that pull your upper lip excessively high. Once relaxed, your lip rests 2–4 mm lower, covering gum tissue and creating a more proportionate smile. Initial improvement appears in 3–7 days, peaks by two weeks, and lasts 3–4 months, making touch-ups easy.

Ideal for: adults who reveal > 3 mm of gum when smiling and prefer a quick, reversible fix over surgery.

How Gummy Smile Neurotoxin Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    Brief exam, muscle mapping, and optional numbing cream—no general anesthesia.

  2. Micro-injections

    Your board-certified Leva surgeon places 2–4 pinpoint injections at the nasolabial fold to target the lip elevators.

  3. Treatment time

    ≈ 5 minutes; you can drive yourself home

  4. After-care

    Remain upright four hours; avoid exaggerated smiling and straws for one day.
