Hi y'all! What a dreary Friday afternoon here in Seoul. It's drizzly, cloudy, and hazy - just about everything depressing you could expect from the weather. While I would give anything to be at home under the covers in my pajamas, napping and watching pirated movies all day, I am instead sitting at my office desk in deep thought, wondering what other tips I could share with you lovely people out there on how to maintain beautiful skin.
In Korea, the V-line, or egg-shaped face, is considered a necessity for a beautiful face. Facial shape is taken quite seriously here - we like our slim, pointed chins. Developed square jaws are a major no-no and just not attractive to Koreans. The obsession with the term "V-line" is actual fairly recent, according to my memory. I think it really started to become a thing after it came out in some TV commercial about a drink that was supposed to be good for getting slimmer. Anyway, I remember when I was a student, the chin roller was introduced and became quite popular. Click here to see what I'm talking about! I have no idea whether it was effective at all, but everyone one was using it to make their faces slimmer, and I must admit I've also tried one out myself, under peer pressure.
Now, there are a few ways to go about this craze over the V-line. One very drastic way is to have jaw reduction surgery at a plastic surgery clinic ... which makes me cringe from just imagining the pain and suffering one must go through for that! Another is to be happy with the face shape you have and not give a rat's fart about what is "considered" beautiful. This is ideally the correct and most reasonable option. However, we human beings are naturally drawn toward aesthetically pleasing things. We like to look pretty and look good. And if you knew that there were simple and affordable procedures out there that could subtly help you achieve attractiveness, wouldn't you go for it? Plus, your facial/body features could also be a source of distress if it gives off a bad impression, or if it makes you look older or tired.
Dermatology clinics such as Renewme can provide safe yet effective solutions that are not as harsh/risky as plastic surgery. All done in simple injections, here are a few options you might want to consider:
1. Contouring Injection
Contouring injections can dissolve excess fat in targeted areas and naturally slim down the face. It is recommended for double chins, lumpy skin that lacks elasticity, and anyone with a lot of fat on their faces. Results are best with multiple injection sessions rather than just one.
2. Filler
You might think, "fillers add volume, so they can't make you look slimmer!" On the contrary, fillers can create the facial shape that you're looking for. Chin fillers can make your face more heart-shaped and make that V-line everyone wants so bad.
The third one is actually the director of our Dongdaenun branch, Dr. Kim Jung Geun! Read his testimonial by clicking here.
3. Botox
Though botox injections are normally done to prevent wrinkles, it can actually serve far many more purposes. Hmm... I should actually write a whole blog post about that later. Anyway, if you have a square jaw you'd like to get rid of (only in Korea, right?), you first need to figure out what makes your jaw square in the first place. A dermatologist consultation will do just that for you. If the cause of your square jaw is your jawbone, you would need to get plastic surgery done. If it's fat, a contouring injection will do. If it's muscle, a botox injection does the trick by paralyzing the muscles around the area, making it deteriorate over time. Effects last for a few months so you'd need a retouch, but the results are generally quite satisfactory.
A combination of all three, and it is not so difficult to create the facial shape you want. Perks of living in today's generation, don't you think? Now you can look like a K-pop star with just a few simple injections! :D
