Gummy Smile Botox in Korea: Your Guide to a Confident Smile

Gummy Smile Botox is a quick and simple procedure in Korea to correct an overly visible gum line. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. This non-surgical treatment is a popular way to boost confidence without complex dental work.


What Is Gummy Smile Botox?

Gummy Smile Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the hyperactive muscles that cause the upper lip to lift excessively. The toxin temporarily weakens these muscles, reducing the upward pull on the lip when a person smiles. The result is that the upper lip covers more of the gum line, creating a harmonious proportion between the teeth, lips, and gums.


Popular Smile Correction Options in Korea

  • Gummy Smile Botox: The primary treatment for gummy smiles caused by overactive muscles.
  • Lip Flip Botox: Relaxes the upper lip muscle to create the illusion of a fuller lip, which can also help cover some gum line.
  • Lip Filler: Used to add volume to the lips themselves, which can help conceal a gummy smile and improve overall lip shape.
  • Combination Treatments: For a comprehensive result, Gummy Smile Botox is often combined with lip fillers to both lower the lip and add volume.
