Purpose: The goal of this presentation is to describe and assess the many types of operations that can be used to treat excessive gingival display and puffy lips.
Methods: Aesthetic dentistry is swiftly becoming as one of dentistry's most innovative and challenging fields. Patients are becoming more conscious of their physical appearance, and the grin has gotten a lot of attention as a result. Lip operations are becoming more popular among the general public. Various lip surgeries and their modifications have been described in this article, as well as their surgical techniques, indications, and post-operative care. Lip repositioning and lip reduction are discussed in this article. Lip repositioning is a less expensive and time-consuming option for excessive gingival show than more expensive and time-consuming procedures. Lip repositioning has psychological benefits, especially when compared to the low risk. Lip reduction surgery, on the other hand, strives to achieve a balanced relationship between the upper and lower lips that is proportional to the rest of the face, as well as typical lip competence and the appearance of lips that are larger or fuller than desired.
