1) An Objective System for Measuring Facial Attractiveness – Bashour
Bashour’s objective analysis of Dr. Stephen Marquardt’s Phi Mask as a method for measuring facial attractiveness.
2) Evolving Attractive Faces Using Morphing Technology and a Genetic Algorithm – Wong
Our founding team members (Dr. Wong, Zlatko, and Koos) paper… The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine if a genetic algorithm in combination with morphing software can be used to evolve more attractive faces; and 2) evaluate whether this approach can be used as a tool to define or identify the attributes of the ideal attractive face.
3) Human Facial Beauty – Johnston
Johnston’s article examines current theories of beauty and describes recent progress in the ability to generate photorealistic faces using a computer.
4) Web-based Facial Attractiveness Rating Method – Devcic
Zlatko’s engineered method of acquiring ratings for our morphs!
5) The Ideal Nasal Profile – Adamson
Adamson’s paper evaluates whether patients seeking reduction rhinoplasty hold a different concept of the ideal nose than does the general public, and determines what features characterize the ideal nasal profile.
6) Metrics of Nasal Tip Rotation Comparative Analysis – Kim
Kim’s paper introduces a new metric for measuring nasal tip rotation, the “columellar facial angle.” The present study aimed to determine the degree of correlation of the nasolabial angle, the nostril axis, and the columellar-facial angle as metrics of nasal tip rotation.
7) Quantitative Analysis of Lip Appearance After V-Y Lip Augmentation – Jacono
A paper by Jacono which attempts to quantitatively analyze the changes in the 3-dimensional appearance of the lips after V-Y lip advancement for lip augmentation.
Byrne’s paper which outlines the pertinent anatomy and aesthetics of the preoperative evaluation.
9) Correction of the Ptotic Brow – Brennan
Brennan’s method of determining most attractive eyebrows.
10) Aesthetic Considerations in the Elevations of the Eyebrow – Alex
Alex examines current surgical concepts of brow/upper lip proportion and harmony and compares and contrasts them with cultural notions of the “pleasing brow” as represented by the makeup and fashion industries.
11) Desired Position, Shape, and Dynamic Range of the Normal Adult Eyebrow – Sclafani
Sclafani’s method of determining the resting and aesthetically desired position of the eyebrows and the range of eyebrow mobility.
12) Concepts of Facial Beauty – Phillip Young
Young explores the Circles of Prominence theory, which finds that the iris is the most important element within a face when people assess for beauty.
13) Lip Colour Affects Percieved Sex Typicality and Attractiveness of Human faces – Stephen and McKeegan
Stephen and McKeegan investigate the effects of lip luminance and colour contrast on the attractiveness and sex typicality (masculinity/femininity) of human faces.
Doddi and Eccles performed a thorough MeSH search to determine the current knowledge to date in size and shape of the nose and its effect in facial plastic surgery.
Study evaluating changes in the white female facial profile by measuring 14 soft tissue variables on profile photographs presented in fashion magazines during the 1900s.
The study measured 26 variables on a total of 119 profile photographs collected from various fashion magazines published in the 1940s through the 1990s.
The study evaluated women’s faces by varying facial adiposity in 3-dimensional images. Surveys were taken by men and women to determine the ideal levels of adiposity in female faces for their attractiveness and health.
The study investigated whether women were affected by social media as to how their own attrativeness is percieved.
19) Genetic diversity revealed in human faces
The study investigates whether one’s genes determine how attractive he or she is. A sample of 160 students participated in the study by giving a sample of their DNA as well has have their photgraphs rated to determine how attractive he or she is.
This study evaluates whether there is a difference in subjective and objective rating of attractiveness by women. Women from a dermatoligist office were selcted to rate their own attractiveness, and four other participants were asked to rate them as well objectively.
21) Are Attractive People Rewarding? Sex Differences in the Neural Substrates of Facial Attractiveness
This study investigates whether men or women find the opposite sex more rewarding by analyzing MRI images of the particiants as they determined attractiveness.
22) Natural facial motions enhances cortical responses to faces
This study investigated whether cortical responses occur from static or dynamic presentations of various images. Participants were exposed to various static and dynamic images while there brains were being scanned by an MRI.
23) Faces differing in attractiveness elicit corresponding affective responses
25) Limitations of traditional morphometrics in research on the attractiveness of faces
26) Photogrammetric Facial Analysis of Attractive Korean Entertainers
This study revisits Rennels et al.’s experiment testing women’s preferences for male masculinity in facial aesthetics. The study shows that non-face confounds, or uncontrolled variables, influence preferences for facial masculinity.
28) Lip colour affects perceived sex typicality and attractiveness of human faces
This study aims to determine the optimal amount redness, yellowness, and luminescence for attractiveness in color photographs of men and women.
This study aims to show that people rely on specific standards of the face’s group instead of standards of other groups. The study observes that attractive faces are closer to their group prototype than unattractive faces when comparing caucasian, african, and asian faces.
