Who Is Suitable for Gummy Smile Treatment?
Gummy Smile Treatment Methods
Gummy smile treatment can be customized based on the individual’s tooth and gum structure. The most commonly used treatment options include:
- 1. Gum Aesthetic (Gingivectomy)
A surgical procedure that removes excess gum tissue to make the teeth appear longer and more proportional. This is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. 💉
- 2. Laser Gum Treatment
Laser technology is used to delicately remove excess gum tissue. The benefits of this method include lower bleeding and faster recovery. ⚡
- 3. Orthodontic Treatment
For gummy smile issues caused by misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment can help by realigning the teeth, improving both function and aesthetics. 🦷
- 4. Botox Application
If the gummy smile is caused by excessive movement of the upper lip, Botox injections can temporarily control the lip muscles. This is a temporary solution with effects lasting 4-6 months. 💉
- 5. Surgical Intervention (Orthognathic Surgery and Lip Repositioning)
For gummy smile cases due to the structure of the upper jaw, orthognathic surgery can reshape the jaw. Additionally, a lip repositioning procedure can be performed to adjust the lip position. 🏥

Frequently Asked Questions
People who are not satisfied with their first operation results, think that it is sparse, or whose donor area is too weak to achieve that number of hair grafts (to cover all the entire bald zone in one session) can have two operation sessions. 2nd session of hair transplantation is wholly related to the quality and abundance of the hair in the person's donor area. There is no problem if the number of hair grafts is sufficient to conduct the operation of a person who will have the second operation. However, if there is too much damage in the first session and the donor area is harmed enough to extract grafts again, performing the second session operation is not recommended. It will cause more damage to the donor area. You can have more transparent information about this situation when you show your pictures or direct examination to your hair transplant doctor.
Those who cannot have a hair transplant for the second time?
1.People whose donor area is damaged too much during the first session.
2.People who do not have enough hair in their donor area to cover enough broad recipient area.
In hair transplantation, the hair roots are extracted from the entire backside of the head, including above the ears and neck, which we call the donor area. The number of roots is determined according to the volume and quality of the bald area, and the extraction is done homogeneously. Since the extracted grafts from this particular donor area are immune to shedding from birth and are genetically coded against shedding, they do not shed and last a lifetime. Indeed, it is determined according to the knowledge and skills of the doctor who extracts these hair roots in a quality way and performs the hair transplant. Hair grafts are found in the donor region as a triple, double, and single hair. In addition, this grouped form differs from person to person. The important thing is to extract these grouped hair roots without cutting, destroying, and damaging them. People who do not have hair follicles in the donor area, either have been treated for cancer or are struggling with a different disease.
As a result, the transplanted roots never fall out again.
After the hair transplant has been done, our medical consultant assistant will, without stint, follow the whole process with you until you achieve the best result. We will describe to you the growth process of all the hair grafts, respectively.
1-On the 10th day, the process of cleaning scabs will be done.
2-After one month, implanted hair begins to shed moderately.
3-The implanted hair enters the shock hair loss during the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th month, called the resting phase. During this process, you will face a view as if no hair transplant has been done.
4-At the end of the 4th month, the implanted roots will gradually start to grow progressively, and each month will grow faster and more hair than the previous month.
5-In the 7th month, almost 70% of the transplanted hair ultimately grows.
6-All transplanted hairs may take 12 months for the front zone and 14 months for the crown region to grow
The regrowth period of the transplanted hair may vary from person to person. It is a fact that hair roots come out earlier or later than expected, depending on a person's habits such as smoking, alcohol, drugs, and eating habits.
Hair transplantation is a surgical solution for hair loss. Suitable candidates depend on factors like the cause of hair loss, its stage, age, health, donor hair availability, expectations, psychological readiness, commitment to aftercare, and hair texture. Consulting an experienced surgeon is crucial for personalized advice and discussing techniques like FUT or FUE. Not everyone is a candidate, and alternative treatments may be suggested.
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that allows natural and permanent relocation of hair to thin or bald areas. Typically, hair follicles, in the form of small tissue pieces called "grafts," are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the head and beard area) and then implanted into the recipient areas where they are needed.
