Gummy Smile Botox in Izmir with Dr. Orhan Demirer
Gummy Smile Botox in Izmir is a precise, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce excessive gum exposure while smiling. Some individuals naturally show too much of their upper gums, which can affect smile aesthetics and self-confidence. At our Alsancak clinic, dermatologist Dr. Orhan Demirer customizes Botox injections to relax the upper lip muscles, allowing a more balanced and natural smile.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue is visible while smiling. Common causes include:
- Overactive upper lip muscles (levator labii superioris)
- Short upper lip length
- Altered eruption of teeth
- Jaw or skeletal anatomy
Botox targets overactive muscles to reduce gum display without affecting natural facial expressions.
How Gummy Smile Botox Works
Botox injections relax the muscles that elevate the upper lip excessively. By softening muscle activity, less gum is exposed when smiling. The procedure is precise, requiring small amounts of botulinum toxin at targeted injection points for natural and symmetrical results.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Gummy Smile Botox is suitable for adults who:
- Have excessive gum exposure when smiling
- Desire a non-surgical solution
- Wish to maintain a natural facial expression
- Are in good overall health without contraindications to Botox
A consultation is essential to assess muscle activity, lip length, and smile dynamics.
The Consultation Process
During consultation, Dr. Orhan Demirer evaluates:
- Amount of gum display
- Upper lip and smile movement
- Muscle strength and symmetry
- Patient aesthetic goals
These factors determine the injection plan and dosage for optimal results.
The Procedure Step by Step
Gummy Smile Botox is performed in-office. After cleansing, small amounts of Botox are injected into precise points of the upper lip muscles. The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
Aftercare Instructions
After treatment:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours
- Maintain normal daily activities
- Monitor for mild swelling or bruising, which usually resolves quickly
- Follow any specific post-treatment instructions
When Will Results Appear?
Initial results appear within 3–5 days, with full effect at 10–14 days. The improvement lasts approximately 4–6 months, after which repeat treatments are recommended for continued smile balance.
