Dr. Farnoosh, a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles, has a solution for people with a gummy smile. While some dentists say there is nothing that can be done to fix a high lip line, Dr. Farnoosh performs a surgical procedure that repositions the upper lip in relation the the lip line. The incisions are made inside the lips so there is no scarring on the outer lip. His technique limits the vertical movement of the upper lip which keeps the lips closer to the teeth when smiling.

Does upper lip repositioning also make the lips more lusciously fuller? Miraculously, it would appear so from this before and after picture.

We'd appreciate any comments from cosmetic dentists here about upper lip positioning as a solution to gummy smiles.
