In modern society, facial rejuvenation has become a goal pursued by many people. The process of facial rejuvenation is sometimes not just a technical cosmetic surgery, but more like a combination of art and science. Behind this, a widely cited concept is the golden ratio. How does this mathematical aesthetic indicator affect our facial charm?
Facial rejuvenation refers to a range of cosmetic treatments designed to restore a youthful appearance to the face. These treatments may be surgical or non-surgical options and vary in the invasiveness and depth of treatment. Aesthetic surgery can restore facial symmetry through precise facial reshaping and skin reshaping, while non-surgical procedures focus on specific depths to address issues such as wrinkles, skin laxity, hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Human visual perception lies in its sensitivity and accuracy, enabling instant recognition of age through facial features. Even if there is no obvious difference in facial geometry or appearance, they may be perceived as being of different ages. This mechanism is not fully understood, but is apparently related to underlying subtle changes in facial bone structure.
There is a direct correlation between facial symmetry and perceived beauty. The Golden Ratio has been favored by artists and architects for centuries as a guide to facial rejuvenation and symmetrical balance because of its ability to create visually pleasing effects. Aesthetic medicine and facial rejuvenation techniques have also slowly adopted this mathematical approach for facial repair and enhancement.
“Facial symmetry is not just a matter of appearance, it is the core of attractiveness and beauty.”
Recent research shows that changes in facial bone structure as we age have an impact on the appearance of age, particularly in the midface area and the lower eyelid area around the nose. Multiple quantitative studies have shown that as we age, there is considerable bone loss in these areas, resulting in changes in facial angle, length, and volume, as well as a decrease in the distance between the eyes.
In 2013, 133,000 facelifts and nearly 216,000 eyelid surgeries were performed in the United States, a six percent increase from 2012, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The same year resulted in the number of Botox injections reaching 6.3 million, demonstrating the rapid growth of facial rejuvenation procedures. Some experts predict that the demand for facial rejuvenation procedures will continue to rise in the future, which is related to the following factors:
"While surgery can still provide more dramatic improvements, current trends favor the use of non-invasive procedures such as injectables and laser treatments."
Facial rejuvenation procedures include, but are not limited to, the following:
In the face of the changes brought about by age, the concept of the golden ratio promotes the development of facial rejuvenation by transforming invisible standards into concrete aesthetics. Whether through surgical or non-surgical methods, these procedures are not just about repair, but also about rebuilding confidence and attractiveness. And have you ever thought that every stroke and stroke on your face is really just a mathematical formula for the pursuit of beauty?
