Lip positioning or lip lowering, also known as lip lowering surgery, is a procedure that involves removing a small amount of gum tissue along with adjusting the position of the upper lip. Recently, this treatment, also known as gum esthetics or gummy smile, is among pink esthetic applications, and it can reduce the appearance of gum during smiling without any change in the size of the teeth, provided that the gums are entirely healthy. If there is a disease in the gums, lip positioning application can be planned after the disease is treated and the gums are completely restored to health.
Who Is Lip Positioning Treatment Suitable For?
Lip positioning treatment is generally suitable for the following conditions:
- Naturally Undesirable Lip Shape or Size: Some people may have lips that are not symmetrically shaped or do not have a certain fullness from birth. Lip positioning treatment can be used to correct or enhance such natural variations.
- Signs of Aging: With the aging process, lips can lose volume and appear thinner. Lip positioning treatment can be used to reduce signs of aging and achieve a fuller, younger look.
- Lip Asymmetry: Lip asymmetry can occur due to accidents, injuries, or unnatural lip movements. Lip positioning treatment can be used to restore lip symmetry.
- Smile Esthetics: Some people may want to change the shape or size of their lips to achieve a more attractive and balanced smile. Lip positioning treatment can be an option to achieve these aesthetic goals.
- Lip Lines or Wrinkles: Fine lines or wrinkles around the lips can become more pronounced over time and affect a person’s overall appearance. Lip positioning treatment can be used to reduce or correct such wrinkles.
However, lip positioning treatment may not be suitable for everyone. These types of treatments may not be recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain health conditions, or allergies. Therefore, it is important for anyone considering lip positioning treatment to consult with a specialist aesthetic doctor or dermatologist. The specialist can determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the individual’s needs and health status.
How Does the Lip Positioning Application Process Proceed?

- Injections: During the treatment, the determined filler material or injectable substance is injected into the lip area. The expert doctor delicately performs injections to improve the symmetry and fullness of the lips. The treatment usually takes a few minutes.
