The parts of a smile are:
- The eyes
- The cheeks
- The lips
- The teeth
- Smile lines and wrinkles
A smile enhancement is a non-surgical treatment that uses cosmetic injectables to improve your smile.
It does not target the teeth.
A smile enhancement uses dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections to improve your smile.
Dermal filler enhance your cheeks and lips, and reduce deep smile lines and wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle injections soften crow’s feet wrinkles around your eyes, reduce a gummy smile, and reduce the top lip thinning when you smile.
The extent and complexity of your smile enhancement determines the cost.

Yes, a smile enhancement can improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
A gummy smile is caused by overactive smile muscles, small and thin lips, a long upper jaw bone (maxilla), or excess gum tissue.
We can use gummy smile injections to relax the smile muscles, and lip filler to add fullness. This gives better gum tissue coverage.
A lip flip can reduce top lip thinning when you smile for a more pronounced result.
When done correctly, a smile enhancement has very little discomfort.
Here at Cosmetic Connection, we prioritise a comfortable treatment. We use a gentle approach, premium products containing local anaesthetics, and strong numbing.
A smile enhancement will usually takes 10-20 minutes.
During your smile enhancement, we clean, mark and numb the treatment areas.
We then precisely place dermal filler or anti-wrinkle injections in the planned treatment areas.
Finally, any filler will be moulded smooth, and a protective balm applied to your skin.
You will see the final result from your smile enhancement either immediately, or within 2.
Dermal fillers give an immediate result, that settles over a few weeks.
Anti-wrinkle injections take 2 weeks to reach full effect.
The result from a smile enhancement will generally last 12-24 months where we’ve used dermal filler. Areas treated with anti-wrinkle injections typically need upkeep every 3-4 months.
The longevity of your result depends on the type and amount of product injected, and your metabolism.
Before your smile enhancement, you should follow these preparation guidelines:
- Cease all supplements 1 week before your treatment (unless taking for medical reasons)
- Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
- Attend your appointment without makeup
You may experience mild redness, tenderness, and swelling after your smile enhancement.
Areas treated with anti-wrinkle injections may have small bumps that resolve in 15 minutes.
You can speed up the healing process by carefully following the treatment aftercare instructions.
The most important after instructions for your smile enhancement are:
- Avoid intense exercise, alcohol and makeup until the following day
- Refrain from applying firm pressure to the treated areas for 7-10 days
- Gently apply a wrapped ice pack intermittently to the treated area for a few hours after your procedure
You can partake in low-impact exercise immediately after your smile enhancement.
For intense exercise, wait until the following day.

What are the different parts of a smile?
The following areas of the face contribute to the appearance of your smile:
Wrinkles around your eyes (crow’s feet) and across your nose (bunny lines) contribute to an authentic smile. However deeper wrinkles can make your smile look old. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to soften these lines.
Nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines) are a normal part of the smile. They are the folds of skin that extend from your nose to mouth corners. Some people find that their smile lines look too deep. They can be softened with nasolabial fold fillers.
Your cheeks and cheekbones play an important role in shaping your smile. For those with a lack of cheek shape and structure, cheek fillers can be used to give your smile a more attractive shape.
The shape, size, symmetry and proportions of your lips are vital in an attractive smile. The lips can be enhanced with lip filler, and top lip thinning can be reduced with a lip flip.
The shape, size and colour of your teeth are the centrepiece of your smile and can be improved with cosmetic dentistry.
Excessive gingival show when smiling (known as a gummy smile) can be treated with gummy smile injections, or with certain dental procedures.
