Transform Your Smile with Botox®

At Lumier Medical in Torrance, we understand how even the smallest details can impact confidence. A “gummy smile” occurs when the upper lip rises too high, showing more gum than desired. With precise Botox® injections, we can relax the upper lip muscles to reduce gum exposure and create a balanced, natural-looking smile.

Our before and after gallery highlights real transformations, showing how a subtle adjustment can make a dramatic difference in appearance. Patients love that the treatment is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime. Results are visible within days and typically last three to four months, allowing you to smile freely with renewed confidence.

With 20+ years of injectable expertise, Lumier Medical ensures your results look natural—not overdone. Explore our gallery today and schedule your consultation to see how Botox® for gummy smile can help you achieve the radiant, confident smile you deserve.

Real Patient Results: Gummy Smile Before & After

These results demonstrate how targeted Botox can:

  • Reduce excessive gum exposure when smiling
  • Lower the upper lip slightly for better balance
  • Maintain a natural, expressive smile
  • Improve overall smile harmony without changing facial identity

Results are subtle by design—this is a refinement, not a dramatic transformation.

Before Treatment: Common Concerns We Evaluate

Patients often seek gummy smile treatment due to:

  • Excessive gum show when smiling
  • A smile that feels “too high” or unbalanced
  • Self-consciousness in photos or social settings
  • Desire for a non-surgical, quick solution

During consultation, Dr. Lum evaluates lip movement, muscle activity, and overall smile dynamics to determine the appropriate approach.

After Treatment: What Natural Results Should Look Like

When gummy smile Botox is done correctly, results should be:

  • Subtle and proportional—not overcorrected
  • Natural in both relaxed and smiling expressions
  • Balanced with the teeth and lip shape
  • Noticeable without looking “treated”

Results typically begin within a few days and fully develop within 1–2 weeks, lasting approximately 3–4 months.

Dr. Lum’s Philosophy on Gummy Smile Treatment

This is a precision treatment—small amounts make a significant difference.

Dr. Lum’s approach emphasizes:

  • Conservative dosing to preserve full expression
  • Avoiding over-relaxation of the upper lip
  • Maintaining symmetry and natural movement
  • Treating only when muscle activity—not anatomy—is the cause

If Botox isn’t the right solution, alternative options may be discussed depending on the underlying cause.
