At London Dental Specialists, our Lip Repositioning Surgery offers a permanent solution for correcting a gummy smile by adjusting the upper lip's position to reduce excessive gum display. This minimally invasive procedure involves removing a small strip of tissue from inside the upper lip and repositioning it to limit upward movement during smiling, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. Performed under local anaesthesia, the surgery typically lasts between 45 to 90 minutes, with most patients returning to normal activities within 4 to 5 days. Our comprehensive process includes an initial consultation and assessment, development of a personalised treatment plan, the surgical procedure itself, and detailed post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Lip repositioning surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce excessive gum display when smiling. During this treatment, our specialists at London Dental Specialists remove a small strip of tissue from the inside of your upper lip and reposition it to a lower level, effectively limiting how high your lip can rise when smiling. This creates a more balanced smile by reducing the amount of gum tissue visible.
Unlike temporary solutions such as Botox injections which last 3-6 months, lip repositioning surgery offers a long-term solution for gummy smiles. While Botox works by relaxing the muscles that elevate the upper lip, and orthodontic treatments address bone-related causes, lip repositioning directly modifies the lip's position for a permanent reduction in gum exposure. At London Dental Specialists, we provide a comprehensive assessment to determine which treatment is most suitable for your specific condition.
Ideal candidates for lip repositioning surgery at London Dental Specialists typically have:
The cost of lip repositioning surgery at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the complexity of your case and specific requirements. Treatment typically ranges from £1,500 to £3,000. We provide detailed pricing during your initial consultation after assessing your individual needs. We also offer various payment plans to help make treatment more accessible.
Lip repositioning surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Following surgery, patients typically experience mild to moderate discomfort for 3-7 days, which can be managed effectively with prescribed pain medication. Most patients at London Dental Specialists report that the discomfort is less than expected and subsides quickly as healing progresses.
Recovery after lip repositioning surgery typically involves:
The results of lip repositioning surgery from London Dental Specialists are considered permanent in most cases. Clinical studies show that patients maintain significant improvement years after the procedure, with minimal changes (less than 1mm) potentially occurring within the first six months. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, the aesthetic improvements can last indefinitely, making this a long-term solution for gummy smiles.
As with any surgical procedure, lip repositioning carries some risks, though complications are rare when performed by our experienced specialists. Potential risks include:
Determining the right treatment for your gummy smile requires professional evaluation. At London Dental Specialists, we conduct a comprehensive assessment including facial analysis, smile evaluation, and examination of your dental and skeletal structures. Gummy smiles can result from various causes including hyperactive lip muscles, excessive gum tissue, or jaw development issues. Based on your specific diagnosis, we may recommend lip repositioning surgery, Botox injections, crown lengthening, orthodontics, or a combination approach for optimal results.
