You're Not Alone
If you’ve started hiding your smile, you’re not the only one
- So many of us do it without noticing - the closed-lip smile in photos, the hand that comes up, the quick look away. When you really grin, more gum shows than you’d like, and somewhere along the way you started holding back. A little gum on show is completely normal. But if it’s been quietly bothering you, you deserve to smile without the second thought.
So, what actually causes a gummy smile?
More often than not, it comes down to one small muscle.
When you smile, a muscle in your upper lip lifts it upward – and in some people it simply pulls a little too hard, raising the lip high enough to show more gum.
It’s not something you did, and it’s not something you have to just live with.
An overactive lip muscle
The most common reason, where the upper lip lifts higher when smiling.
A naturally shorter upper lip
It can sit higher and show more gum when you smile.
The way teeth and gums sit
Sometimes the position of your teeth and gums plays a role.
- At your consultation, Dr Faisal works out which of these is behind yours — and gives you a straight answer on whether a treatment would actually help.
A doctor-led way to bring your smile back into balance
Because the most common cause is that one overactive muscle, the approach is refined and precise. Dr Faisal eases the muscle just enough that your upper lip settles a little lower when you smile so less gum shows, and your smile still looks completely like yours. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that changes your face. Just you, smiling freely again.
- And it’s done properly. Dr Faisal assesses your smile, plans it, and carries out the treatment himself - one doctor, from your first question to your last review.
- Your consultation is $50, and it’s credited in full to your treatment if you decide to go ahead. Dr Faisal will talk you through your options and costs — no surprises.

Why people choose Dr Faisal for this
Honest, never pushy.
If this isn’t the right treatment for your smile, he’ll tell you and explain what might suit better.
Subtle by design.
The goal is balance and a smile that’s still yours, never a changed face.
Unhurried and private.
A calm, confidential room and the time to ask anything.
Or does your top lip vanish when you smile?
If either of these sounds like you, one consultation with Dr Faisal covers both.
What happens when you come in
01
A relaxed chat.
Dr Faisal looks at how your smile moves and tells you honestly whether this is right for you. No pressure, no obligation.
02
A clear plan.
If it suits you, he explains exactly what he’d do, what to expect, and answers anything you like.
03
Quick and low-fuss.
If you decide to go ahead, the treatment itself is quick. Most people head straight back to their day, with perhaps a little tenderness or redness that settles soon after. The effect builds over the next few days and is temporary.
