Description
Aim: To evaluate facial divine proportion and its relationship to facial attractiveness in the south Indian population.
Materials and Methods: For evaluation of facial divine proportion frontal photographs of 100 subjects between 18 to 25 years of age were taken. These photographs were then analyzed for various parameters of facial proportion.
Result: The results of our investigation showed that a relationship exists between the divine proportion and the perception of beauty.
Conclusion: This study shows that most of the facial proportions of people who are considered attractive conform more or less to the divine proportion (1.618), but some parameters are slightly deviated.
