Track and field athlete Kim Mingee, known as 'The 'Karina' of Track and Field' and for appearing on 'Single's Inferno 5,' personally opened up about her beauty care routine and experiences with cosmetic procedures.
On the 28th, a video titled "How to get a prettier face shape without plastic surgery? Summary of recommended and non-recommended procedures and treatment" was uploaded to Kim Mingee's Youtube channel. Having appeared on Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5' earlier this January, Kim Mingee answered fans' questions and explained her transformation journey. Kim Mingee clarified, "I really haven't had any plastic surgery at all," explaining that she achieved her current appearance from beauty treatments and non-surgical procedures.
Instead of surgery, Kim Mingee opened up about undergoing orthodontic treatment. She shared, "I got braces twice. In total, I spent four years doing orthodontic treatment alone." She explained that she first got braces in high school but was unhappy with the outcome. Later in college, after hearing someone tell her, "Noona, I think you'd be so pretty if you just got braces," she visited a specialized orthodontic clinic and underwent another year of treatment. She explained that at the time, she had eight teeth removed, including four wisdom teeth and two front teeth on each side.
Regarding the changes in her face shape, she said, "Since I had eight teeth removed, I think there was plenty of room for everything to move back. That's probably why my lower face became smaller." She also revealed why she decided to get veneers, saying, "When I first saw myself on video, my teeth looked like they stuck out so much," adding, "Even when I was filming for commercials, the advertisers told me not to smile, which made me decide to get veneers."
Regarding her face shape maintenance, Kim Mingee admitted, "I got chin filler and Botox for my chin." She explained that she often received comments about how she used the muscles around her mouth during photoshoots, so she tried to make improvements through cosmetic treatments. However, she strongly denied getting Botox for her jaw. She added, "Still, I think the braces made the biggest difference. No matter how much Botox you get, I think getting braces twice really changed things."
Furthermore, she also shared her experience with nose fillers. Looking back, she said "I really didn’t like how my face looked when I appeared on 'Single's Inferno 5,'" adding, "I chose the wrong clinic. I went in dissatisfied and came out still dissatisfied." She emphasized how important it is to choose the right clinic to achieve the desired results.
