The determination of a facial proportion adhering to the golden ratio involves specific measurements and calculations. It seeks to quantify the extent to which facial features align with this mathematical constant, approximately 1.618. For example, the ratio of the length of the face to its width, or the distance between certain facial features, may be compared against this ideal proportion.
An assessment of facial proportions using this ratio has been explored across various disciplines, from art and aesthetics to cosmetic surgery and dermatology. It offers a quantifiable method for evaluating perceived beauty and symmetry. Historically, the golden ratio has been considered a fundamental principle in art and architecture, believed to contribute to visual harmony and appeal. Its application to facial analysis seeks to leverage these established aesthetic principles.
