Gummy Smile: Botox Options in Gangnam, Seoul
Quick answer: A gummy smile, where a lot of gum shows when smiling, is often caused by an overactive upper-lip elevator muscle. Tiny doses of botulinum toxin can relax the muscle so the lip rises less, for several months. Gum or bone causes need dental or surgical care. AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam assesses whether Botox suits you.
