Botox is a drug that mainly contains botulinum toxin*, a drug approved to be used for cosmetic reasons by Food and Drug Administration. Botulinum toxin releases neurotoxin**, which is refined and diluted before the Botox operation. At Answer Plastic Surgery in Seoul, Korea, Dr. Choi Min carries out the entire procedure himself; from dilution of botulinum toxin to Botox operation, Dr. Choi Min makes sure the entire process is done properly. Minimizing the amount of botulinum toxin concentration at Answer Plastic Surgery, Botox can be applied to the face and body.

Generally, people do get scars around the mouth and nose after the operation. However, at Answer Plastic surgery, we use our ultra-fine equipment when suturing to minimize the scars. Over time, the scar will become unnoticeable.
When people do not have enough alar tissue cells, it is difficult to have an alar base surgery. In this case, those who have large nostrils often choose to reduce their nostrils.
Alar lifting is recommended for those whose have droopy alars. When the alars are sagging compared to the nasal column (the section between the nostrils), nostrils seem to be exposed. By lifting the alars, the amount of exposure can be reduced.
