Watch as Nicola Lowrey PA-C administers both Botox and Filler on this Gummy Smile Treatment.
Excess gingival show, aka a “Gummy Smile”.
To treat this condition appropriately you need to understand the multiple anatomical and muscular variations at play.
I have seen an emerging pattern in my practice in many cases that I have treated:
* a negative anteromedial vector
* a class 2 malocclusion
This results in a hyperactive LLSAN when elevating the upper lip on smiling and hypertonicity of the mentalis as it has to work hard to keep the lower mandible elevated to close the mouth.
For the most natural outcome, all issues must be addressed both structurally and functionally.
In this case filler was added to the:
* Piriform fossa
* Chin
* Lips
And Botox was used on the:
* LLSAN
* Mentalis
* Orbicularis Oris
(Be cautious in using Botox only for the chin when there is retrognathia. The patient will find it quite challenging to close their mouth. The structure of the chin must be supported first.)
When the entire perioral area is considered in cases like this, the results can be life changing.
Llsan Botox: Decrease the over activity of the muscle
Orbicularis Oris Botox: For resting upper lip balance
Mentalis Botox: To relax chin dimpling
Lip Filler: Volume to the upper lip decrease gummy show
Fantastic insight into gummy‑smile treatment using Botox and filler — thank you for breaking down the anatomy and approach so clearly! It’s impressive how you address not just the visible issue but the underlying structure and musculature. On a somewhat related note, for anyone in industries like mine who also worry about long‑term structural integrity (whether it’s build‑out or overhaul) worth noting that when choosing reliable marine services you’ll want the same attention to foundational and functional detail. And if corrosion or insulation is a concern in your setup, check out their Marine Insulation solutions too. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing this detailed breakdown of the gummy‑smile treatment process! It’s really helpful to see how the combination of Botox and filler is used together to address both muscle activity and structural support for the upper lip and chin. I especially appreciated the explanation of the roles of the LLSAN, mentalis and other muscles in the perioral region.
On a slightly different note: if you’re interested in optimizing your overall wellness while keeping your aesthetic treatments in mind, you might also check out Diatomaceous Earth for Ants — a natural‑made solution that some folks use for keeping their environment clean and healthy. Also came across this cds solution which some integrate into their cleaning or prep routines. Just thought you might find those interesting alongside…
Awesome insight on the gummy‑smile treatment with Botox and filler — really interesting how you break down the anatomy and approach! Also, if anyone’s meanwhile thinking about refreshing their space as part of the transformation, I’d recommend checking out house cleaning services. If you’re in the local area, especially around Queen Creek, you should look into house cleaning queen creek as well — making your environment as polished as your smile.
Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Meduza's divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the lottery game, and this was all made possible by Meduza. I want to kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions.. For a transformative…
