Gummy smile treatment 😬
.
There are two options for treatment of a gummy smile, which is when the top lip lifts to expose the gums when smiling.
.
The first option is using injections to relax the muscle in the upper lip, also known as levator labii superioris. This can stop the top lip from lifting as highly when smiling, however the treatment takes two weeks to work, needs to be repeated every three months, AND has more variable results.
.
The second option is lip filler. Lip filler, when added to the body of the lip, adds volume which causes the lip to sit lower and exposes less gum. This technique is less effective if only the vermillion border is filled. The benefits with lip filler (and why it is my preferred treatment) are that it lasts up to 1 year, has more predictable results, and therefore there is less fluctuation in the presence of your gummy smile.
.
All of these treatments should be performed after thorough consultation, and some patients may be suitable for one treatment and not the other. Choose an appropriately qualified doctor to make sure you’re getting the best and safest result for you 💉

HarmonyCa information ✨
.
Education first. I love that I can offer advice I can from both the doctor and the patient perspective.
.
HarmonyCa benefits:
✅ Tightening
✅ Reduction in nasolabial folds
✅ Reduction in jowling
✅ Tear trough appear less hollow
✅ Skin quality improved
.
HarmonyCa is a hybrid injectable from @allerganaesthetics containing hyaluronic acid (HA- the most commonly used dermal filler) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CH). CH stimulates fibroblasts, therefore increasing collagen and elastin production, causing ‘lifting’. This creates a more youthful appearance and is particularly beneficial to those with skin laxicity and crepey skin.
.
The filler comes in two 1.25ml syringes and is administered using a cannula to the cheeks and jaw area. The HA component creates a subtle ‘lift’. This continues to improve over the following 6 months due to the CH stimulation of collagen and elastin.
.
These results typically last for 18 months.
.
The procedure itself takes approximately 20 minutes, and the main risks are bruising and swelling. In my case both the bruising and swelling settled within less than a week.
.
This treatment is targeted at those in the 40-60 age bracket, however as seen here can improve the appearance of patients in their 30s, with more subtle results.
