Shortage of red lip contour: an augmentation of the lips is possible.

If an injection is not effective because the red lip contour is turned too much to the inside, enhancement of the lips can be obtained by turning the inside of the red lip contour to the outside.

CORRECTion gummy smile

When too much red gum is showing, when smiling, plastic surgery or cosmetic dentistry can help to enhance your smile.

MYOTOMY surgery

Often it is not because your teeth are too short that you have a gummy smile. Sometimes it’s the muscle of the upper lip, which is too strongly developed.  This will lead to an imbalance in your smile.

The plastic surgeon will weaken the muscle of the upper lip (myotomy), between the gums and the upper lip, to correct this imbalance. The incision is made inside the mouth, so the scar doesn’t show.

This surgery under local anaesthetics takes about one hour.  The movement of the corners of the mouth stay intact, for a beautiful, natural smile.
