Our experienced cosmetic doctors have decades of training and clinical experience. But what truly sets them apart is their dedication to ensuring their clients are always comfortable, confident and informed.
We treat gummy smiles using a muscle-relaxing injectable. Our preferred relaxant is highly effective yet extremely gentle on muscle and tissue.
Gummy smiles can be caused by a number of factors, including the size and shape of the gum and the lips. Our treatment is designed to treat those with a short upper lip. Our injections relax the muscles that shape the lips, allowing them to drop and cover more of the exposed gum.
Our clients will attest that our gummy smile injectables are a minimally invasive procedure that results in a more pleasing and confident smile.

Gummy smile injectables can be an effective solution for people who are self-conscious about a disproportionate gum-to-tooth ratio. While some people have naturally recessed gums due to genetics, others may be dealing with a so-called “gummy smile” due to age or uneven development. This condition can lead to an excess display of the gums when smiling, which many patients want to address.
Ultimately, it’s about confidence. Gummy smiles rarely affect a person’s health — our clients simply want to feel and look good. And we are glad to provide a safe way for them to do just that.

Preparing your mouth beforehand is essential.

The procedure is quite straightforward, and your appointment will last approximately an hour (including post-monitoring time).
First, we will discuss the plan and the intended results to ensure you and your cosmetic doctor are on the same page.
We will then begin the treatment by wiping and cleansing the skin around the treatment area. At your request, we can apply a numbing cream to your skin. Your doctor will then apply the relaxant injections.
After the procedure, we will ask you to stay for a brief monitoring period to ensure there are adverse reactions. You will then be free to leave.
After receiving gummy smile treatment, patients must follow their aftercare instructions closely. This includes avoiding excessive talking and strenuous activities that cause the mouth and face muscles to move or flex, such as running or jumping, for one to two days following the treatment.
During the healing process, patients should avoid using straws when drinking beverages and refrain from eating hard and chewy foods, such as nuts or raw fruits and vegetables. Lastly, patients should continually apply an ice pack or cold gel pack to the face near the injection site to reduce swelling while keeping the treated area clean by gently washing it with mild soap and cold water.

Gummy smile injection points are typically across the upper lip, specifically, the orbicularis oris muscle. This muscle helps control expressiveness in the cheeks, lips and chin. The injection site diminishes muscle stress and reduces gum tissue exposure when smiling.
Targeting the orbicularis oris muscle can help treat conditions such as hyperactive muscles and gummy smiles, where excessive gum tissue is visible when a person smiles.

To help fix asymmetries, we can set gummy smile injection points at the sides and corners of the mouth.
When targeting asymmetries, we must be extremely precise with the amount of relaxant we inject into the lip and just as precise in choosing the injection point. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss this treatment's challenges so we can design a personalised solution.
Combine our gummy smile injections with an anti-wrinkle injection treatment to achieve your skin goals.

From the girls at reception who are always willing to help, through to the team that perform the treatments, I no longer go anywhere else for my skin concerns. I've had a few treatments with them now, from chemical peels to injectables — and I have never been happier with my skin.
Dr Mobin Master is great!! He listened to what I wanted and provided me with the best advice. Absolutely loving my results. Derya was also really helpful. I had no idea what I needed, but I knew what I wanted to achieve. Derya gave me all the information I needed to help make a decision.
Doctor Master is patient, professional, and not pushy. I love dealing with him. His treatments have taken years off my face. The team at VDG make you feel comfortable and supported. The prices have always been consistent and reasonable.
I think it's important to write this review, because there’s a lot of injectors out there that only care about the quantity of business, rather than who they are treating. I was recommended by a friend to see Dr Master to fix botched fillers in my cheeks and lips.
His knowledge and understanding of my situation made me feel extremely comfortable. It has taken several treatments, and he did not promise me perfection. However, he certainly did deliver.
You’ll hear plenty from our dermatologists at your consultation. For now, have a read of what our clients have to say about the results we deliver.
No. At your appointment, we will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure there is no pain.
There may be some minor discomfort and soreness around the injection points in the days after your appointment, but these will soon clear up and should not affect you too much.
A gummy smile describes a facial expression in which the upper lip rises too high, exposing excessive gum lines. It can be caused by multiple factors, such as an overgrowth of gum tissue, genetic factors, poor oral hygiene, facial anatomy that predisposes one to smile broadly and reveal more of their upper teeth than usual, or orthodontic appliances that can put teeth in positions that make it appear like the individual has a gummy smile. Another cause may be misaligned muscles in the jaw area, known as hyperactive lip elevator muscles.
The amount of solution used for these treatments depends upon several factors, but generally, it is best injected at a depth between 1 to 2 mm past the base of the tissue. This depth ensures that the treatment has its desired corrective effect without compromising aesthetic proportions and the patient's natural level of lip movement.
A gummy smile treatment involves the injection of certain substances at specific points in the patient’s upper lip. Injections are typically made into three locations: the depressor anguli oris muscle, the levator labii superioris muscle, and the orbicularis oris muscle. In addition, injections can be made along nerve pathways to reduce any discomfort experienced during treatment.
