This Art
“A beautiful smile should radiate joy and confidence; refining its framing allows that emotion to shine unobstructed.”
A 'gummy smile' occurs when the levator muscles of the upper lip are hyperactive, pulling the lip up excessively high upon smiling and revealing more of the upper gum tissue than desired. This often causes individuals to feel self-conscious, covering their mouth or restraining their joy. At Kensington Cosmetic Clinic, we view this not as a flaw, but as a muscular tension that can be elegantly resolved.
Using trace amounts of advanced neurotoxins, our specialists delicately target the specific muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip. By subtly relaxing this pull, the lip naturally rests slightly lower. When you smile, the lip gently drapes over the gum line, framing your teeth flawlessly without compromising the warmth or mobility of your expression.
Subtle, Transformative Confidence
This procedure is a testament to the power of precision over volume. In merely minutes, the architectural framing of the lower face is vastly transformed. Patients often pair this therapy with bespoke Lip Filler to simultaneously add hydration and subtle volume, creating the ultimate, magazine-ready smile.
Your Patient Journey
Dynamic Analysis
We ask you to smile in various ways. By assessing the muscular strength and symmetry of your upper lip, we map out the precise injection points needed to lower the drape.
Sanitization
The area immediately beneath the nose and alongside the nostrils is thoroughly cleaned. Numbing is rarely needed as the needle used is thinner than a human hair.
Micro-Injections
In merely 2 to 4 tiny injections, the precise amount of neuromodulator is placed exactly into the hyperactive levator muscles.
Instant Return
There is zero downtime. You go about your day normally. Within 3 to 7 days, you will notice your upper lip naturally relaxing to perfectly frame your smile.
