It is often said that the face is a direct representation of the mind. As a plastic surgeon encountering countless patients seeking physical beauty, I have acutely realized just how true those words are.
A fascinating editorial published in Aju Economy details a plastic surgeon’s personal revelation: the ultimate secret to a radiant, youthful appearance isn’t always found on the operating table. Instead, it is found in the mind. Here is a look at the transformative power of “mind plastic surgery.”
๐ญ The Anatomy of an Expression
Your face is incredibly complex, containing about 80 distinct muscles. Of those, roughly 50 are dedicated entirely to facial expressions.
The Sino-Korean word for facial expression (pyojeong) literally translates to “the outward manifestation of one’s state of mind.” If you repeatedly make the same expression based on your emotional state, your facial muscles will gradually harden into that exact shape.
- A depressed mind creates a depressed face.
- An angry mind creates an angry face.
- If your mind is full of frustration and tension, your face will inevitably appear dark and heavy.
๐ก The “Mind Plastic Surgery” Phenomenon
But what happens when all that anger, depression, dissatisfaction, stress, and tension disappears? What if the mind changes to become peaceful and happy?
Naturally, those hardened facial muscles relax, and the face transforms into a bright, radiant appearance. I did not fully grasp this principle until I practiced Ma-eum Su-ryun meditation. As I meditated and witnessed this phenomenon firsthand, I was astounded by the physical effect the mind has on the face. Not only did my own face change, but the faces of those meditating alongside me uniformly became brighter and prettier.
People who complete the final stages of this meditation generally develop softer eyes and upturned corners of the mouth. As their facial muscles smoothly relax, wrinkles are surprisingly alleviated. Recently, I have even had many people tell me that I look more than 10 years younger!
๐๏ธ Redefining True Beauty
Before experiencing meditation, I simply recommended surgery like other plastic surgeons, believing it was the best way to find beauty. Now that I understand the profound relationship between the mind and the face, I no longer hastily recommend procedures.
If a patient truly wants surgery, I advise them to refrain from excessive procedures and perform only the absolute minimum necessary. Amazingly, consulting with this level of sincerity has only made my clinic prosper more.
The desire to become beautiful is a fundamental human trait. However, the current trend of overemphasizing physical appearance while ignoring the inner mind often leads to dissatisfaction. Ma-eum Su-ryun meditation allows you to actually subtract and discard the stressful mind. As worries and anxiety disappear, a happy mind fills the voidโand that happiness is immediately revealed on your face.
This practice is so groundbreaking that it could easily be called “plastic surgery of the mind.” When the mind changes, your body becomes healthier, your words and actions fill with confidence, and you attain a natural, profound beauty that no surgical procedure can ever replicate.
