Gummy Smile / Lip Flip

Gummy smile and lip flip treatment are aesthetic procedures addressing excessive gum exposure during smiling or a lip that wants to curl away when smiling and laughing. It involves injecting neurotoxins into the muscles controlling lip movement, reducing gum visibility and showing off more upper lip tissue when you smile. Individuals seek this treatment for aesthetic enhancement, achieving a more balanced and confident smile by balancing gum, lip and tooth exposure.

Before your treatment at Takroni Clinic, you’ll need to attend a consultation with one of our doctors, which will involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile aesthetics. Our practitioners discuss your concerns, analyse your lip and gum dynamics as well as your muscle movement in the area and explain the tailored treatment plan. This personalised session ensures you obtain a clear understanding of the procedure, expected outcomes, and addresses any queries for a confident decision.

Gummy smile or lip flip treatment at Takroni Clinic involves injecting neurotoxins into specific lip muscles, moderating their movement to reduce gum exposure during smiling. Our skilled practitioners use precise techniques to achieve a harmonious balance, creating a confident and aesthetically pleasing smile. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

After gummy smile or lip flip treatment, minimal aftercare is needed. Our practitioners advise avoiding touching the area for a few hours and no makeup should be applied in the area until the next day. A single procedure may be all that is needed, but you can contact the clinic if you’d like to review the treatment, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction with the results.

Following gummy smile treatment, you can expect elevation of the top lip to gradually reduce over a period of 2 weeks, resulting in less gum exposure. Lip flip treatment works to reduce your upper lip curling away when smiling and over the course of 2 weeks there will be more upper lip showing when smiling or laughing. The outcome will typically last for 3 – 4 months. Enjoy a transformed and balanced smile, with optimal outcomes visible as the neurotoxin takes effect and enhances your facial aesthetics. Regular maintenance treatments are required to maintain results.

Went in for treatment for my skin and hair and honestly couldn’t be more pleased. I can see I have less hair shedding and even more hair growth which I presumed was not possible. The clinic is also very clean and stylish with great customer service.

Dr Sarah is a wonderful, devoted, clinically excellent lady who always has the interests of her patients at heart. Her portfolio is self-evident. I have a critical eye, her work is among the best I have seen; some of the outcomes I would not have believed attainable without surgery.
