A Permanent Smile: Korean Mouth Corner Lift

Huffington Post has a story today that I find truly disturbing. It’s about an alleged trend in Korea to turn mouth corners upward permanently–into a permanent smile via plastic surgery.

If you watch the sales video on the Huffington Post’s website, they are saying that down turn lips are a sign of anger. That statement is untrue.

I don’t think this surgery will help people’s social lives at all. If anything, it will make them more difficult and confusing to read, which will just exasperate their problems, if you want my opinion.

Now when they feel emotions where their mouth corners should drop or droop, they won’t.  They will look disturbed half smiling and half sad.
