Lip Repositioning
What Is Lip Repositioning?
Lip Repositioning is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct a “gummy smile” or excessive gum display when smiling. It works by repositioning the upper lip to limit its upward movement, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. This treatment enhances lip symmetry and smile harmony without affecting speech or natural expressions.
