Hi, Im having a lip travel reduction surgery wednesday Im really tired of my gum showing when I smile, alot of people are trying to talk me out of it b/c they say its dangerous l could possibly, if things go wrong be paralyed for the procedure is this true?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The gummy smile can be because of increased width of attached gingival or protruded maxillary and mandibular anterior or front teeth. The gummy smile or appearance of gums on smiling can be corrected by the gum surgery or orthodontic treatment. Consult an oral physician or an orthodontist and take an opinion. I feel you don't need lip reduction surgery. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
