Enhance Your Natural Smile
Advanced Lip Lengthening for Optimal Facial Harmony
Lip lengthening is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to increase the visible portion of your upper teeth when smiling. This procedure is ideal for individuals with a "gummy smile" or those who feel their upper lip covers too much of their teeth when they smile.
Our surgical technique focuses on creating natural-looking results that enhance your smile while preserving normal lip function and movement. The procedure carefully repositions the lip tissues to reveal more of your natural tooth structure, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Understanding Lip Anatomy
Before Lip Lengthening
Upper lip positioned lower, covering more teeth and potentially showing excessive gum tissue when smiling.
- Less tooth visibility
- Gummy smile appearance
- Asymmetrical smile
After Lip Lengthening
Upper lip repositioned higher, revealing optimal tooth display and creating balanced smile proportions.
- Ideal tooth visibility
- Balanced gum display
- Harmonious smile
