Korea is gaining quite the reputation when it comes to plastic surgery, the latest development involving a procedure that has been dubbed Smile Lipt--as in a Smile Lift + Lip. It is a mouth-lifting operation that essentially puts a permanent smile on people's lips. Although not as freaky as the Joker's scarred face, Smile Lipt is a strange procedure.
Currently offered by Aone Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery, a plastic surgeon office located in the city of Yongin, Smile Lipt addresses the commonality of natural frowns in the country. It also fixes asymmetrical smiles. With plastic surgery procedures like Smile Lipt, it is no surprise that 1 in 5 women in Seoul get work done, as reported by PSFK.
