Doctor, Please Make My Face Shape Like a Celebrity’s! (Celebrity Proportions and Facial Contouring Surgery)

Hello. I am Dr. Jo Hyun-woo of 입체성형외과.

Today, I would like to talk about a light topic rather than a difficult one.

Many people, when they come in for a consultation, show me a celebrity photo or say, "I want to have this celebrity’s face shape~"

Of course, depending on each patient, there are parts that are possible and parts that are not.

Then what is a beautiful face shape?

As I always say, a beautiful face is truly subjective, so there is no definitive answer.

Celebrities all have different face shapes, but each has a beautiful face with its own unique charm.

Therefore, the correct answer is that there is no set standard.

However, there is an average beautiful face shape.

This is a diagram analyzing facial proportions.

If the face matches these proportions, it can be said to align with the average of a beautiful face.

In the case of contouring surgery, there can be proportions related to face length, and the width of the face from side to side is also important.

Although this is a Western standard, there are criteria for dividing the upper and lower proportions, and the left-right proportions can also be divided.

In this way, the beauty of a face shape can be said to depend on how well the facial proportions are balanced.

Then what proportions do the celebrities we think of as beautiful have?

A scholar analyzed the ideal face using 3D simulation to study beautiful facial proportions.

It seems that if these 3D proportions are met, the face is considered beautiful.

Then which celebrities have these proportions?

It is said that people like Han Ga-in and Kim Tae-hee, whom we know well, fit these proportions closely.

You can see that they match the 3D simulation very closely.

That is why proportion can be thought of as the most important factor in a beautiful face.

If you look at these two women’s faces, the cheekbones never fall in a straight line.

But many patients say, "I want my cheekbones to be straight."

A slightly prominent cheekbone that gives some egg-shaped contour is what makes a face look beautiful.

In conclusion, creating a certain face shape does not mean making it beautiful for your face.

Making it fit your own facial proportions is the best way to achieve a face shape that looks most beautiful on you.

That is because each person has different facial features, concerns, standards of beauty, and needs.^^

3D cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction, chin reduction

If you look at the photo above, you can see that the patient has a long lower face, from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin.

This refers to the balance of the most ideal proportions when viewing a person’s face from the front.

For example, with cheekbone reduction, the cheekbones should not simply be pushed in indiscriminately; the proportion with the lower jaw must be considered.

The same applies to square jaw reduction, where the width of the cheekbones must also be taken into account.

If you approach it with the simple goal of making the face as small and slender as possible like a celebrity, you may lose your original individuality and the balance of the face may collapse,

leading to an awkward appearance and results that do not look good.

The most important thing is to preserve your individuality and create facial harmony.

If you approach it according to your own facial proportions, you will be able to create the most beautiful face shape.

Thank you.
