Abstract

For an objective view at the attractiveness of a human face, there are several methods evaluating various aspects of esthetic impressiveness used and they are also applied differently. As a starting point, it is possible to use a rule arising from golden ratio and neoclassical canons.

An alternative solution consists in symmetry rating which provably pertains to the most significant factors in this respect. Due to the known fact of right and left half face differences, symmetrization procedures, for adjustment of which makeup or surgery is used, could be a possible solution.

However, a problem arises when deciding which half of a face shall be approximated to the resulting appearance.
