Gummy smile Botox can reduce how much gum shows when you smile by relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip too high. At Quick Aesthetics Med Spa in Allen, TX, we evaluate lip length, smile dynamics, and dental factors before recommending neuromodulator treatment.
Not every gummy smile is a Botox case — some need dental or surgical input. Honesty at consult protects your result.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?
Common drivers include a hyperactive upper-lip elevator complex, short upper lip, vertical maxillary excess, or gum/tooth display patterns. Photos of your full smile help us sort soft-tissue vs. structural causes.
How Gummy Smile Botox Works
Small doses target muscles that elevate the upper lip so it does not rise as high on smile. Gum show softens while you keep a natural expression when dosing is conservative.
Candidacy
Good candidates have muscle-driven excess gum show and realistic goals. We are cautious with very short lips, prior lip surgery, or expectations of a surgical-level change from a few units.
Appointment & Results
Treatment is quick. Effect builds over 1–2 weeks. Longevity is often similar to other neuromodulator areas (commonly around 3–4 months). We refine dose at follow-up if needed.
Gummy Smile Botox vs. Lip Flip
A lip flip eases the lip border outward slightly. Gummy smile dosing focuses on elevator muscles that control gum display. Some plans overlap; they are not identical prescriptions.
Frequently Asked Questions — Gummy Smile Botox
Will I look droopy at rest?
Conservative dosing aims to avoid that. Tell us about prior lip heaviness so we can plan carefully.
Can filler fix a gummy smile?
Filler addresses volume, not elevator hyperactivity. Sometimes lip support is discussed separately — we will say if it applies.
