aesthetics
The face is made up of five components, the forehead, eyes, lips, nose and chin. It is the balance of these areas that makes a face beautiful based on the mathematical idea of proportion and symmetry. Iconic statues, created by the Ancient Greeks of idealized forms of beauty are based on ideal proportion and nature follows this concept with the spirals of seashells and in the double helix of DNA.
Ideal proportion and medicine are notably linked in the illustration of the Vitruvian man by Leonardo da Vinci. The Vitruvian man combines ideal proportion with art and science to embody the practise of medicine.
However, although the perfect face is based on mathematics, reality plays a factor and facial surgeons need to account for age, gender and race when trying to create a natural, balanced appearance.
At Facial Aesthetics careful assessment is made of individual patients using digital imaging and image manipulation software to assist in the development of a tailored treatment plan.
