What makes a face beautiful? Is it the size and shape of the mouth, nose and eyes? Is it the shape of the face? Is beauty different for men and women, or for people from different cultures? We all know a beautiful face when we see one. What creates that physical beauty? Dr. Stephen Markhart has an answer. He says that beauty is mathematical. Dr. Markhart is a surgeon from California. His patients are people with deformed faces. Some of his patients can't eat or breathe easily because their noses or mouths don't function normally. Dr. Markhart does plastic surgery to correct these problems. Some patients' problems were very difficult to fix. Dr. Markhart needed some guidelines to help him be successful. So he started to do research. He wanted to know why some faces are beautiful. What did he find? He found that beauty is not a mystery at all. It's just a simple ratio. The ratio that defines beauty is 1 to 1.618. The ratio, 1 to 1.618, shows the relationship between different features on a beautiful face. For example, when a face is beautiful, the mouth is 1.618 times wider than the nose. The width of the nose is 1.618 times the width of the tip of the nose. The ratio is even true for teeth. The width of the two front teeth is 1.618 times wider than the height of one of the teeth. What about the measurements of other features, such as the chin and the mouth, or the eyes and the nose? The ratio never changes. It's always the same for all the features on a beautiful or handsome face. Dr. Markhart used the ratio to make a mask. The mask has many lines and geometric shapes. When the doctor put the mask over pictures of beautiful faces, the faces all fit the mask perfectly. Then he put the mask on less beautiful faces. These faces didn't fit the mask. Is beauty the same all over the world? Yes. When the mask is put over pictures of people from many different places, the ratio still works. Beautiful faces from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America all fit the same mask. Other surgeons learned about Dr. Markhart's important findings. Plastic surgeons can use the ratio to repair deformed faces and help people live healthier lives. Cosmetic surgeons can also use it to help make people more beautiful.
