![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps we could improve the facial structure or make a face a little more symmetrical. When I assess a face for the first time during a consultation, I look at each individual feature to determine how that face is ageing, thinking strategically about where I should inject for a more youthful, balanced appearance. In fact, quite often, it ends up upside down, with the two widest points being the corners of the jaw and the third point starting at the bridge of the nose. That means if you were to draw a triangle with its base up and superimpose it on the image of a youthful face, two of its points will meet the cheekbones, and the third will finish at the chin.Īs the face ages, the cheeks naturally lose volume as fat pads in the face diminish, and the jowls will begin to sag, and that triangle of youth gets lost. The widest point on a face is the measurement across its well-shaped cheeks, which taper down towards the chin and emphasise what is popularly known as the ‘triangle of youth’. The triangle of youthĪ youthful face has three distinct features: high cheekbones, full cheek volume and a well-defined jawline. Whilst we all have different ideas about what we think is beautiful in a face, there is a specific science behind what makes a beautiful face, and most aesthetic practitioners will turn to this formula during the initial consultation with a patient. Some believe that we perceive a face as more aesthetically appealing when it adheres to the golden ratio because the human eye can process it faster, which ‘pleases’ our brain. Likewise, if a face is in proportion, we are more likely to find it beautiful. Some scientists suggest that we perceive proportional bodies to be healthier, and those with nice-looking teeth have higher education levels than those who don’t. However much we like to think looks do not influence us, the statistics put out by researchers beg to differ.
