Gummy Smile Treatment in NYC and Tappan
Individualized, physician-performed aesthetic treatment at Dermacare Medical in Manhattan and Tappan with Dr. Yuriy Yagudin.
How Botulinum Toxin Can Treat a Gummy Smile
A gummy smile can result from lip movement, gum and tooth proportions or jaw structure. Botulinum toxin may reduce excessive upper-lip elevation in selected patients, but it does not correct every cause of visible gum show.
Personalized Planning
Dr. Yagudin evaluates the smile at rest and in movement, the height of the upper lip and the contribution of dental or skeletal factors. Botulinum toxin for a gummy smile is an off-label use in the United States.
What to Expect
After examination, small injections are placed into the selected muscles. Brief discomfort, tenderness, bruising or swelling can occur. The product-specific dose and placement are individualized.
Results & Follow-Up
The muscle effect develops gradually and is temporary. Follow-up should assess both the desired change and muscle function. Seek urgent medical help for difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, or unexpected generalized weakness after treatment.
Safety & Candidacy
Tell Dr. Yagudin about medical conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, previous procedures and active skin problems. Treatment-specific risks, benefits and alternatives are reviewed before treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
The treatment plan depends on anatomy, goals and response.
Is there downtime?
Downtime varies. Many patients return to routine activities quickly, although temporary treatment-site effects can occur.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
An in-person evaluation is the best way to determine candidacy and compare appropriate options.
Planning Your Gummy Smile Treatment
Will injections correct a gum or bite problem?
No. Dental or skeletal causes may need assessment by a dentist, periodontist or other specialist rather than muscle relaxation alone.
Can the smile look uneven afterward?
Temporary asymmetry, an unwanted change in smile or difficulty with some lip movements can occur. Careful selection and dosing are important.
Will the result last permanently?
No. The muscle effect wears off. Follow-up and any repeat treatment depend on your response and goals.
