Could my smiley face make me seem easy to approach? For those looking for their desired look because they have worries!🍷

Hello :)

As promised, I’m here to share the second story about first impressions!

A story prepared for the second installment

Let’s begin the smiley-face edition, the story that is the opposite of the first one!

"A smiley face is so pretty—why would that be a concern?"

"Hey, you’re lucky!"

If you say that a smiley face is your worry, haven’t you heard things like this?

Not even knowing that there may be valid concerns of their own

Today is a post I’m writing purely because I’m 100% in my feelings

All the smiley-faced people in Korea, rise up. Here begins the concern over smiling faces!

Let’s take some time to talk about the connection between the process of finding your desired look and a smiling face,

and share some concerns as well!

Smiley face & gentle-looking face

A smiley face refers to a face with a smiling impression or expression.

In particular, when the eyes and mouth corners seem naturally lifted into a smile,

it is described as a smiley face.

A smiley face generally gives off a bright and friendly image,

and helps create a positive impression.

Some people undergo procedures, surgery, or ongoing care in order to become more smiley-looking, or to soften a sharp impression.

But that does not mean people with this kind of impression have no worries.

Why concerns arise

Because of their impression, they may be misunderstood or not taken seriously,

or because they are seen as brighter and more positive than they really are, they may hide their true feelings, and find it difficult to have honest conversations.

Also, for those who seek procedures or maintenance,

there are many people who look into various information or make inquiries because their appearance does not match the charm they are aiming for, or because there is a gap between that look and their actual personality.

The atmosphere and charm conveyed by each person’s impression

are all precious and special,

but I also think the process of finding the aesthetic standard and atmosphere one personally feels is

part of a mature journey.

What parts influence it

Muscles around the mouth:

Muscles that lift the upper lip, muscles that lift the corners of the mouth, and muscles that lower the corners of the mouth all play important roles in creating various expressions when smiling.

Cheekbones and cheek fat:

Cheekbones and cheek fat often stand out when smiling.

Cheek fat sits above the zygomatic muscles,

and the movement of cheek fat when smiling affects the smiley impression.

Muscles around the eyes:

The muscles around the eyes change the shape of the eyes when smiling, such as slightly lifting the outer corners or narrowing the eyes, and influence the overall impression.

Smiley faces and nasolabial folds?

This is something many people misunderstand and ask about!

First of all, because nasolabial folds become more noticeable when smiling, some say that the more a person smiles,

the deeper the nasolabial folds become. So some people even say they avoid smiling altogether!

In fact, nasolabial folds are caused by sagging and stretched skin due to aging, which makes the upper part of the folds look thicker. Smiling lifts that cheek area upward and makes our face look more natural.

Of course, there are opinions that this can vary from person to person.

On the other hand, some say that the more you smile, the more active your muscles become, slowing aging and improving nasolabial folds!

Both statements may apply depending on the person,

but in general, smiling often does not make nasolabial folds significantly deeper, so please don’t avoid smiling!

so it may not be suitable depending on each person’s skin condition and situation. Please make sure to consult a medical professional before proceeding!

Closing thoughts

For those with a warm, easygoing, smiling impression that gives off positive energy, if you do not want to seem easy to approach, or if you have actually experienced that kind of situation,

a

Also, if you feel like you don’t seem serious or mature,

or if you are worried about nasolabial folds or wrinkles caused by smiling,

there are many people around you who envy a smiley face, but you may have been carrying hidden worries yourself!

Working hard to have the direction in life or atmosphere you want

is also wonderful and part of the process of finding yourself,

but I always hope you don’t lose your smile by force,

and Forena Clinic in Hongdae will always support you!

This is a story about first impressions, something that is not usually covered on dermatology clinic blogs

but also about the stories and concerns of the many people who visit our clinic,

and share them together.

If you all keep visiting and supporting us a lot,

we’ll try a wider variety of concepts like this in the future,

so please leave a supportive comment and add us as a neighbor once, if you can!
