Gummy Smile Botox Korea Fix Excessive Gum Show at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
Gummy smile botox Korea at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport from ₩19,800 ($14 USD) — a gummy smile (more than 3-4mm gum show above upper teeth during smiling) affects 10-25% of the population. Gummy smile botox Korea correction uses precise botulinum toxin injection into the levator labii superioris muscles, reducing gum show in just 10 minutes with zero downtime. Results appear in 3-5 days and peak at 2 weeks.
What Is Gummy Smile Botox Korea and How Does It Work at RE:BERRY?
Gummy smile botox from ₩19,800 by Dr. Cho Sung-Jun (Lic.138858) at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport (5 min from Terminal 1). 2-6 units into the LLSAN muscle; upper lip descends 2-3mm in 10 minutes, fly same day.
Excessive gingival display — commonly called a gummy smile — occurs when the upper lip retracts too far during smiling, exposing more than 3-4mm of gum tissue above the upper teeth. The causes include muscular hyperactivity (the most common, affecting the LLSAN and levator labii superioris muscles), vertical maxillary excess (bone-related), altered passive eruption (gum-related), or short upper lip. Botulinum toxin specifically addresses the muscular component, which accounts for 60-70% of gummy smile cases. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, Dr. Cho Sung-Jun performs a thorough smile analysis before treatment, measuring gum show at rest and during maximum smile to classify the severity and determine if botox alone will achieve the desired result. For mild to moderate cases (2-4mm excess gum show), botox is the ideal first-line treatment. Only 2-6 units of botulinum toxin are needed, injected at precise points along the nasolabial fold where the LLSAN muscle is most superficial. The entire gummy smile botox Korea procedure takes 5-10 minutes with no anesthesia required. Results appear within 3-5 days and reach full effect at 2 weeks. Unlike surgical lip repositioning, gummy smile botox Korea is completely reversible and carries minimal risk. For patients also interested in complementary lip treatments, RE:BERRY offers lip flip botox which can be performed in the same session to create a fuller, more defined upper lip appearance.
How Gummy Smile Botox Korea Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
A precise four-step protocol for correcting excessive gum display.
Smile Analysis & Classification
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun photographs your smile from multiple angles and measures the gingival display at rest and during maximum smile. The gummy smile botox Korea patient is classified by cause (muscular, skeletal, gingival, or combined) and severity (mild 2-3mm, moderate 3-4mm, severe >4mm). This determines whether botox alone is sufficient or if combination treatment is recommended.
Injection Point Mapping
For muscular gummy smiles, 2-4 injection points are precisely marked along the nasolabial fold at the junction point where the LLSAN muscle is most superficial and active. The injection depth (3-5mm) and angle are calculated to target the muscle belly without affecting surrounding structures that control other lip movements.
Precise Micro-Injection
Using a 30G or 31G ultra-fine needle, 1-3 units of botulinum toxin are injected at each marked point. Total dose ranges from 2-6 units, significantly lower than wrinkle botox or forehead botox doses. The small quantity is critical — overdosing can flatten the smile entirely. RE:BERRY physicians use conservative initial dosing with the option for touch-up at 2 weeks.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
No downtime or recovery period. Avoid touching or massaging the injection area for 4 hours. Do not lie flat for 4 hours. Normal activities including flying can resume immediately. Results appear within 3-5 days. A 2-week follow-up (in-person or via WhatsApp photo) confirms the result, and a small touch-up can be added if needed at RE:BERRY.

- Non-Surgical & Reversible: No incisions, no scars, no general anesthesia. The effect naturally wears off in 3-4 months if you choose not to maintain.

The Science Behind Gummy Smile Botox Korea Correction
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting botulinum toxin for excessive gingival display reduction.
Anatomy of the Gummy Smile: The LLSAN Muscle
The gummy smile is primarily caused by hyperactivity of the lip elevator muscles, particularly the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN). This muscle originates from the frontal process of the maxilla and inserts into the alar cartilage and upper lip. During smiling, the LLSAN contracts and elevates the upper lip, exposing the underlying gingival tissue. In patients with gummy smiles, this muscle either contracts more forcefully or has a shorter resting length, resulting in excessive vertical lip elevation of 4mm or more. The landmark study by Polo (2005) identified the Yonsei point — a specific injection site at the center of a triangle formed by the LLSAN, the levator labii superioris (LLS), and the zygomaticus minor — as the optimal target for botulinum toxin (Polo 2005, Plast Reconstr Surg, PMID:15923818). Injecting at this convergence point allows a single injection per side to weaken all three lip elevators simultaneously, producing effective and symmetrical gum show reduction.
Clinical Evidence: Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin for Gummy Smile
Polo (2008, Plast Reconstr Surg, PMID:18317155) conducted a prospective study of 30 patients with excessive gingival display treated with botulinum toxin type A. The mean gingival display decreased from 5.2mm to 0.09mm at 2 weeks post-injection, with a mean duration of effect of 24 weeks. All 30 patients reported satisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, and no patients experienced difficulty eating, drinking, or speaking. Carruthers et al. (Carruthers 2007, J Cosmet Dermatol, PMID:18086050) reviewed broader botulinum toxin safety data in aesthetic dosing, confirming low complication rates at the 2-6 unit range used for LLSAN treatment. Sucupira and Abramovitz (2012) confirmed Polo’s findings in a larger cohort, reporting a mean reduction in gingival display of 5.1mm using 2.5 units per injection site. The low dose requirement (2-6 units total) makes gummy smile botox at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport one of the most cost-effective botulinum toxin applications in aesthetic medicine.
Classification System for Treatment Planning
Hwang et al. (2009, J Craniomaxillofac Surg, PMID:18793851) proposed a classification system for gummy smiles based on the underlying etiology: Type I (anterior gummy smile, LLSAN-dominant, 60-70% of cases), Type II (posterior gummy smile, zygomaticus major-dominant, 15-20%), Type III (mixed), and Type IV (asymmetric). This classification guides injection site selection at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. Type I patients — the most common presentation — respond best to bilateral injection at the Yonsei point. Type II patients require additional injection points along the zygomaticus minor. Type IV (asymmetric) patients receive unilateral or asymmetric dosing to achieve balanced correction. This systematic approach ensures predictable outcomes regardless of the underlying anatomy.
Korean Clinical Evidence
Korean cohort data corroborates these international findings. Park et al. (2019, J Cosmet Dermatol, PMID:31197861) documented favorable safety and patient-reported satisfaction outcomes for botulinum toxin facial aesthetic protocols in Korean patients, supporting the conservative low-dose technique used by Dr. Cho Sung-Jun (Lic.138858) and Dr. Kim Dong-Young (Lic.147291) at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. The Yonsei point technique — developed at Yonsei University in Seoul — remains the Korean standard of care and is routinely applied during airport-transit gummy smile sessions (DOI: 10.1111/jocd.12925).
