LIP AUGMENTATION REFERS TO ADDING PLUMPNESS AND VOLUME BY INJECTING DERMAL FILLERS IN TO THE LIPS OR ALONG THE LIP BORDER. DERMAL FILLERS CAN HELP CHANGE THE RATIO OF THE UPPER AND LOWER LIP, IT CAN ALSO DEFINE THE CUPID’S BOW AND SIMPLY GIVE THE LIPS A MORE NATURAL AND HYDRATED APPEARANCE.

A GUMMY SMILE OCCURS WHEN THE GUMS ARE SHOWING UPON SMILING. FROM AN AESTHETIC POINT OF VIEW THE TOP LIP SHOULD REST JUST ABOVE THE TOP OF THE TEETH, HOWEVER IN A GUMMY SMILE THE RATIO BETWEEN GUM TISSUE TO TEETH IS DISPROPORTIONATE. ITS A COMMON CONCERN AMONG PATIENTS AND CAN BE EASILY REVERSED BY INJECTING BOTOX TO RELAX THE MUSCLE THAT RETRACTS THE TOP LIP IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A MORE BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
