About Condition
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the top teeth while smiling. Though completely harmless medically, it can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals who feel their smile appears unbalanced or less attractive. This condition is often caused by hyperactive upper lip muscles, short upper lip length, or excessive gum tissue.
At Aesthetica MedSpa, we offer a non-surgical solution for treating gummy smiles using Botox. This quick and effective treatment gently relaxes the muscles that elevate the upper lip, allowing the lip to rest slightly lower when smiling. The result is a more proportionate, confident smile—without the need for surgery or downtime.
Botox for gummy smile correction is strategically placed above the upper lip to reduce its elevation while still preserving natural movement and facial expressions. Most patients notice a difference within a few days, with results lasting around 3 to 4 months. The treatment is subtle, safe, and can be repeated as needed.
Patients from Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, Garfield, Wayne, Ridgewood, Hackensack, Fair Lawn, Clifton, River Edge, and Paramus, NJ choose Aesthetica MedSpa for aesthetic confidence and expert injectable care. Gummy smile treatment is often paired with lip enhancement, frown line smoothing, or jawline contouring for a complete facial balance. Our providers take a personalized approach to ensure each smile looks natural and expressive.

Reduce Gummy Smile
A ‘gummy smile’ is the name given to a condition where the gum line appears too high when the person smiles. This can be caused by an upper lip that is longer than normal, or simply an exaggerated display of gums when you smile. A gummy smile can also contribute to the appearance of wrinkles around the lips, a weak chin, or other signs of aging, as well as affecting the proper alignment of teeth.
