Abstract
|
|
|
The beauty itself cannot be changed by the time, but the concept of the beauty can be influenced by the time and cultural background.
The purpose of this study is to justify the concept of beautiful or ugly faces among the young Koreans, and to provide useful guideline to improve preoperative plan in the plastic surgery.
The facial photographs of 423 young Korean females were classified as the beautiful or ugly faces according to the evaluation of their classmates, and analysed by the modified Martin’s method. The results are as follows;
1.Beautiful face has a relatively small face with a broad forehead and small lower face. It also has a wide palpebral fissure, narrow intercanthal distance, narrow nose and big mouth.
2.Modern concept of the beauty among the young Koreans is quite similar to that Romanticisim in the art history.
3.We think it is valuable to take into consideration of this modern concept of beauty when we make a preoperative plan for facial plastic surgery.
