The "Mathematics" of Beauty
From the Mona Lisa to the Parthenon in Athens and Notre Dame in Paris, as in many aspects of our daily lives, symmetry writes its own wonderful stories.
Our face is the unique canvas where nature crafts our personal story of harmony.
The mathematical relationship that nature "uses" to teach us the timeless harmony of beauty is expressed by the Golden Ratio or Golden Section, which has been expressed for centuries with the Greek symbol "Φ".
The Face Golden Ratio is expressed through a mathematical relationship and is used today, among other things, in cosmetic surgery.
What is the Golden Ratio;
The Golden Ratio or Golden Section is very often found in
nature, in architecture, in art, in music, as well as in the "architecture" of the face (face golden ratio).
This is not the absolute mathematical rule, but a mathematical approximation of harmony and balance, which is perceived as beauty.
Unlike timeless harmony, beauty is more subjective affair and influenced by trends, perceptions and times.
Measuring Golden Ratio
In mathematics and art, two quantities have a golden ratio when the ratio of their sum to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller.
Euclid first geometrically described the Golden Ratio, which is also associated with the Fibonacci numerical sequence, which is equal to the number Φ = 1,618, which took its name from the Parthenon Phidias.
Euclid presented a line segment that is divided into two parts (a and b), the ratio of which is equal to the ratio of the total length to the larger part.
The clinical applications of the Golden Ratio find application in dentistry and particular in prosthetics, in aesthetic surgery, and in the aesthetic image of the face. The Golden Ratio Calculator is a "tool" for measuring the parameters that shape facial aesthetics. Through a set of measurements, the plastic surgeon who has a deep knowledge of the anatomy of the face, can calculate your own ideal proportions and suggest ways in which you can achieve them or get closer to them.
For example, a visually balanced face is about 1.5 times longer than it is wide.
Also many researchers have used it to study elements of facial aesthetics related to their culture.
Detecting the Facial Beauty
We all know the "strong" points of our personal image, especially when it comes to the face. However, reality shows that there are certain faces that "magnetize" the eyes and those areas of the brain that recognize and capture beauty, objectively.
The human brain seems to use 3 mechanisms, through 3 specific areas to "measure" the value of facial attractiveness.
- The recognition.
- The interpretation.
- The appreciation.
Additional key elements taken into account by the brain to decide on the attractiveness of a face, within milliseconds, are judgment, youth, health and of course symmetry, face and body proportions, color and texture of the face.
The face is the most important factor that affects a person's overall appearance. Determinants of facial attractiveness are:
- the balance
- sexual dimorphism
- the youth
- the symmetry
Golden Ratio & Magnificent Seven
The medical community serving aesthetic medicine has accepted "The Magnificent Seven" list, which compiles the key features we all notice when looking at a face.
The main factor of symmetry is the shape of the face, which should be oval, while each of the following parameters has a separate role, according to the Magnificent Seven:
Forehead Height
The height of the forehead is in proportion to the central features of the face and adds to its vertical golden ratio. Both a wide and a thin forehead can weaken or widen respectively the face golden ratio.
Eyebrows Shape
The shape of the eyebrows can attract or draw attention away from the eyes respectively. Eyebrows could be described as the "modern accessory" of the face, as they often change according to the dictates of fashion from full to thinner. The latest developments in microblading and brows allow men and women to change the shape of their brows, adding more appeal to their face.
Eyes
The eyes and their size are often proportional to the size of the nose, while the distance between them is important for the horizontal Golden Ratio. Because the nasal bridge starts between the eyes, projecting the bridge can give the illusion of narrow versus wide eyes, even if the ratio closely matches the 1.618 ratio.
Lips
Fuller lips are generally associated with a healthier and more youthful appearance, however the ratio of the upper lip to the lower lip is key to the Golden Ratio. Many women today request increased volume in the upper lip, however the appeal of the Golden Ratio standard offers a more natural look.
Skin Quality
Beautiful skin is free of acne and pigmentation, as well as wrinkles and fine lines. In fact, modern beauty trends break down stereotypes and do not exclude people with skin diseases, such as Amy Deanna, the model with vitiligo who became a Cover Girl ambassador.
Facial Shape
Evenly distributed fat throughout the face combined with collagen firmness contribute to a healthy facial image The aging appearance brought on by time and volume loss is largely reversed with modern fillers, fat placement and augmentation agents.
Lower Face Part
The lower part of the face contributes to both vertical and horizontal proportions. Over time the jawbone "shrinks", while "puppet wrinkles" and lines affect the aesthetics of the skin. Injectable fillers and botox provide solutions to the problems of the area.
Nature may not have endowed us all with harmony and perfection in facial features. Aesthetic medicine and surgery today has the ability to calculate, plan and by evaluating the interconnected structures of the face, create your own unique harmony of beauty.
Facemed's modern non-invasive proposal is the beautification treatment, the process in which the plastic surgeon studies, plans and creates a harmonious result through the ideal combination of materials and treatment methods for each person.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
Does every beautiful face have the proportions of the face golden ratio?
It is not necessary. It is characteristic that even the facial proportions of models with international beauty titles do not agree with modern proportions of facial beauty.
Is facial feature asymmetry abnormal?
No. Many people have some degree of asymmetry in their face. The issue is how visible the asymmetry is and how much it affects them.
Is aging a factor in facial asymmetry?
According to American studies, increasing age seems to be related to facial asymmetries.
