I wanted to have smile lifting surgery
3,398I wanted to have smile lifting surgery, so I got to know a lot of clinics and received counseling. In Hyundai Aesthetics, I was recommended that my lips will be more beautiful and the lip lines become pretty when I do the surgery together with the philtrum reduction. My philtrum was a little long, but it was not clear, so I seemed to be flat.
I think my lips are a little small, so, I had philtrum reduction along with lips surgery, and I think the lip line is clearly more beautiful. My friends say it is much more beautiful now. I appreciate to Dr.
Lee for making my lips more attrative.
