What a Good Face Looks Like in Facial Physiognomy Surgery

As the New Year approaches,

I end up wondering for no real reason

about what my fortune will be this year.

So I prepared this.

Facial physiognomy surgery ^^

Some of you may have heard about this,

but between the year-end and the New Year~

let’s talk about it for fun.

'Physiognomy' was used when a king chose officials,

because it was difficult to know what was on their minds.

In the days when kings ruled,

loyal subjects were needed above all else,

so this also makes sense.

However, there is still no scientific basis

for the claim that physiognomy

determines each individual’s personality or fate.

A face that is considered good in physiognomy

The 'eyes' are said to reveal one’s luck

from the late 30s to the early 40s.

If the black and white parts of the eye are distinct,

there is a clear sheen,

and the eyes are bright,

it is said that the person is trustworthy and becomes someone fortunate.

However, most Korean eyes

have thicker eyelid skin,

more fat,

and an epicanthic fold,

so the eyes may appear sharp

or even tight and severe.

Most people who want eye physiognomy surgery

make their eyes bigger and the face look smaller

through double eyelid surgery that lengthens the vertical height,

or epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty that lengthen the horizontal width.

In the case of the 'nose',

it is said to represent wealth and securing social status.

As the saying goes, 'There may be a poor person with a handsome ear, but there is no poor person with a handsome nose,'

a nose with the nostrils moderately fleshy and thick is said to be good for retaining wealth,

so some people also want fat grafting to the alae of the nose.

For the 'face line',

a moderately square jaw is seen as a source of perseverance and patience,

and well-developed cheekbones are seen as a source of strength

for overcoming hardship.

However, the most important thing in facial physiognomy surgery

is not each feature separately,

but the harmony between the eyebrows, the face,

and the eyes, nose, and mouth.

In modern medical plastic surgery as well,

the point we always emphasize is that

it is better for everything to suit one another

than for just one feature to be pretty.

Experts in physiognomy say that

changing your face does not immediately change your fate.

Even if your saju is good,

it is not as good as having a good face,

and even if your face is good,

it is not as good as having a good heart.

As sayings like this suggest, in the end,

what kind of mindset you have

seems to be the most important thing.

I hope you wrap up this year-end well,

and I sincerely wish that in 2024,

happier and warmer days

will continue.
