I had surgery long before things like nose threads became common. It has been more than 5 years since the surgery, I think. (So I do not really remember the price; I think it was somewhere between 150 and 200.) Back then, I do not remember filler for the mouth corners being a thing. During the consultation, they said that if I had the mouth-corner surgery, the incision scar could remain very thin, basically like a fishing line at most. I lived in another region, so I could not go back and forth often, but I did make sure to come in for all the treatments I needed. In the end, the mouth corners did lift. They also said they would fix the asymmetry of the mouth corners, but it is still asymmetrical. I think that is something I need to work on by training my muscles. But the scar is too severe T_T It was left white and large in a shape like < >, and because of that I went to the hospital several times for scar treatment, but it only hurt and showed no improvement. The scar seems to be about three times the thickness of a fishing line. Makeup hides it a bit, but people who know will still know, and when I am bare-faced there is nothing to say T_T.. As time passed, the scar became more deeply set than it was at first. As I got older, the white scar area where I open my mouth also started to crease in several lines like wrinkles. After the surgery, my mother and I suffered a lot because of the white scar on my mouth corner. Even when I went to scar clinics, they said mouth-area surgical scars are hard to remove. I suffered emotionally because of the scar, spent money going back and forth to Seoul, and the scar treatment hurt, so if I could go back, I definitely would not have the surgery. I would look for filler or another method instead T_T I went for scar treatment several times, and maybe because it looked obviously severe, they treated it for free. The last time I went, I heard a staff member gently say something along the lines of it being best not to touch the mouth-corner scar too much, and since then I have stopped going for treatment. I do not feel the scar has improved at all in proportion to the money, time, and pain. I have been through a lot emotionally, and now that it is about year 5 or 6, I just accept that there is nothing I can do. Still, if there were a way to remove the scar, I would really want to try it. I have no ill will toward the hospital. Even now, looking at the scar still makes me feel down sometimes, but since it was a semi-permanent surgery, the mouth corners are still lifted. And although the doctor seems cool and busy, he was kind, and the nurse in the operating room was really, really kind!!

The consultation was good. I went because I was worried about my cheekbones, and I liked that they only recommended what was truly necessary. The price was also kept at the event rate. Other hospitals try to bundle things in, but here…
