Treatment for Gummy Smile in Lisbon

Smiling is one of the most natural and genuine human expressions. But for those with a gummy smile, that moment can become a source of self-consciousness. When the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip are overactive, too much gum is exposed when smiling, creating an aesthetic imbalance that many people notice but don’t know has a simple, quick and surgery-free solution.

At Michelle Bond Clinic in Lisbon, we treat gummy smiles with botulinum toxin – a minimally invasive, safe and proven treatment. The procedure involves the precise application of small amounts of botulinum toxin to the muscles that elevate the upper lip, relaxing them and reducing how far the lip rises when smiling. The result is immediate and progressive: less gum exposure, a more harmonious smile, and a completely natural appearance that does not alter facial expression.

The treatment is quick, virtually painless and requires no downtime. The first results begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect clearly visible within two weeks.

The average investment for gummy smile treatment is EUR 180, which may vary depending on the muscular strength and the dose of botulinum toxin required for each case. The exact amount is always confirmed at the individual evaluation consultation.

The evaluation consultation is priced at EUR 60, fully deducted from the treatment cost should you proceed. During this consultation, our doctor assesses your smile, explains the procedure in detail and presents a personalized plan for your specific situation.

Our approach is centred on naturalness: the goal is not to eliminate all expression when smiling, but to find the balance that makes the smile more harmonious while preserving each person’s authenticity. The result should not look ‘treated’ – it should simply look like the natural smile you always deserved to have.
