It is being nicknamed Smile Surgery, and also known as a smile lipt. One of the primary clinics performing the smile surgery is the Aone Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery clinic located in Seoul. The term \u201clipt\u201d is a combination of lip and lift, both of which have to do with what this surgery does. It very slightly tugs up the corners of your mouth into a naturally-looking smile. It is being called bright and gentle, because it doesn\u2019t look cosmetically done and offers a natural look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smartlipo.com\/oldblog\/?attachment_id=1137\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1137\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1137 aligncenter\" alt=\"smile surgery\" src=\"http:\/\/www.smartlipo.com\/oldblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/smile-surgery.jpg\" width=\"531\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smartlipo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/smile-surgery.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.smartlipo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/smile-surgery-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.smartlipo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/smile-surgery-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>About Smile Surgery<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kwon Taek-keun, a leading cosmetic surgeon at Aone claims the surgery helps patients relieve stress and frustration caused by their face\u2019s natural state. Some women have a relaxed look that is less than ideal and makes them appear upset or annoyed, though it is far from it. He told the Wall Street Journal, \u201cEven when you are looking like your normal self, people keep asking you: \u2018Why are you frowning?\u2019\u201d he says. The most common recipients of the smile surgery are women in their 20s and 30s who want a smile that looks natural, to avoid these annoying comments.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Growing Trend<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This surgery is currently popular in South Korea, but has yet to gain popularity in the U.S. Kwon Taek-Keun thinks this is mostly because the facial features of women in the U.S. have longer and higher mouths, and don\u2019t have as much of a problem with their relaxed smile than women in South Korea. The procedure itself costs about $2,000 and is done with the tip of a scalpel. It is used to lift the corners of the mouth just slightly so there is a relaxed smile on their face. It not only improves their smile when their face is completely relaxed, but even during a wide grin. The surgery does exist in the U.S., though under a different name: Valentine anguloplasty, due to the heart shape of the lip\u2019s muscle tissues.<\/p>\n<p><b>Recovery Time<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There is a fairly short recovery time following the smile surgery. While not actually considered minimally invasive, it requires less work and recovery time than other facial surgeries. It is only dealing with the skin and muscles in the mouth region, with a full recovery of about 1-2 months following the procedure. There have also been few complications, though risks include bruising, swelling, possible risk of infection and temporary numbness.<\/p>\n<p><b>Finding a Surgeon<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you are considering the smile surgery, make sure you find an experience surgeon. While it is a relatively new procedure, many surgeons are beginning to learn the technique of the smile lipt surgery. Be sure the plastic surgeon has experience in similar facial procedures, such as lip, chin, nose and eye augmentations. Always do your research and don\u2019t let the cost sway you toward one doctor or another. If you have a trusted plastic or cosmetic surgeon, discus the possibility of this procedure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Cosmetic Surgery Trends Emerge in South Korea, with the latest being one to improve your smile permanently.
