Golden section rule: ideal proportions in aesthetic surgery

Creating a harmonious and attractive face and body – this is one of the most important tasks of aesthetic surgeons. Every day, hundreds of thousands of patients come to the doctors of aesthetic medicine for help with a request to change something in their appearance. Some patients are unhappy with a hump on their nose, others don't like bust size or hip width, someone wants to adjust their knees or ears.

There are many reasons for applying, and surgical intervention – the most efficient way to solve them. But every surgeon knows that it is impossible to operate on the same template for everyone, since there is no single correct criteria for an ideal nose or  chest. In order to give the patient beauty, but at the same time emphasize his individuality, there is a rule of the golden section. More about this – read on estet-portal.com in today's article.

Application of the golden section rule in aesthetic surgery

The amazing rule of the golden ratio was discovered thousands of years ago by Egyptian priests, and later it was explored and studied in detail by such famous personalities as Pythagoras, Fibonacci and even Leonardo da Vinci. Its essence lies in the fact that if you divide the segment into two unequal parts, then, in order to achieve ideal proportions, its smaller part should be related to the larger one, as the larger one to the entire segment. It was this rule that Leonardo da Vinci was guided by when drawing his most famous masterpiece – portrait of Mona Lisa.

By applying the rule of the golden ratio in aesthetic surgery of the face and body, the doctor can achieve ideal proportions and the most harmonious and attractive result.

And in order to adapt this rule to the possibilities of the modern world, the so-called "beauty mask" was invented.

Golden Ratio Rule:

• Creating a "beauty mask" using the golden section rule;
• proportions of an ideal face according to the golden section rule;
• golden section rule – "golden key" for a plastic surgeon.

Creating a "beauty mask" using the golden ratio

For many years, the American maxillofacial surgeon Stephen Marquardt has been correcting facial defects that arose after injuries or existed from birth, but the result did not always satisfy the specialist. The doctor decided, by all means, to derive the formula of an ideal face, and took as a basis the works of Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci and the German professor Zeising, devoted to the rule of the golden section.

After lengthy calculations, measurements and analyzes, the doctor managed to find out that the nose in full face and profile forms a triangle, the sides of which in a beautiful face are 1,618 times longer than its base. And this triangle can be transformed into a pentagon that appears on the face of while smiling. Combining these geometric shapes on a person's face, & nbsp; taking into account the number of the golden section – 1, 618, the doctor succeeded in creating a "mask of beauty." Using this mask, you can "fit" facial features in perfect proportions.

Proportions of an ideal face according to the rule of the golden section

In the ideal human body, the golden section rule works flawlessly. Scientists managed to find out that the number 1.618 is equal to the ratio:

• face height to face width;
• mouth width to nose width;
• face height to the distance from the tip of the chin to the center point of the junction of the lips;
• central junction of lips to base of nose to nose length;
• nose width to distance between nostrils;
• distance between pupils to distance between eyebrows;
• hand length to forearm length;
• distance from navel to crown to distance from crown to shoulder level;
• the distance from the floor to the navel to the distance from the navel to the head.

In addition, the researchers found out the following interesting facts:

• the distance between the inner corners of the eyes is equal to the length of the eye and the width of the wings of the nose;
• through straight lines from the pupils to the corners of the lips, the face should be divided into three equal vertical sections;
• the same horizontal areas are also the forehead from the lower hairline to the eyebrow line, the middle part of the face from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose, and the lower part of the face – from the tip of the nose to the chin.

Golden section rule – "golden key" for plastic surgeon

Plastic surgeons have long figured out that facial features that many people find ideal, such as Nicole Kidman's even nose or Angelina Jolie's plump lips, cannot look equally attractive on any face. That is why patients are not always satisfied with the result of the operation, which the surgeon could perform just perfectly. Thus, if a patient turns to the doctor with a photo of another celebrity and asks “I want her like”, you don’t need to immediately take up the knife. Much better – first try on a "beauty mask" on your patient, and for sure find out what sizes, volumes and ratios will be ideal for him.

Beautiful face – this is a harmonious face, in which ideal proportions are observed.

Golden section rule – this is the "golden key" for a plastic surgeon who will help, like Leonardo da Vinci, to create truly perfect faces. Estet-portal.com thanks you for your attention. Read more interesting articles on the website in the "Plastic Surgery" section.
