Abstract

In the modern era, the standards and expectations for the shape and beauty of the face are increasing. Therefore, we measured the facial structure and its proportions in Koreans, and to find out the correlation between these results and beauty satisfaction. A questionnaire survey and facial structure measurement were conducted on 85 college students about their beauty satisfaction. The vertical height of the face was 206.0 ± 35.5 mm, and the vertical ratio was 1:1:1. The width of the face was 168.1 ± 30.4 mm, and when it was divided into 5 parts, the middle part was the widest. Dimples and dark circles were found in 22 (25.9%) and 51 (60.0%), respectively, and eye length and nose height nose were 12.6 ± 2.7 mm and 22.8 ± 9.5 mm, respectively. Beauty satisfaction was on average 28.7 ± 5.9 out of a total of 50 points, inversely proportional to the length of the face (r = -0.235), and was proportional to the width of the nose (r = 0.298). And beauty satisfaction was related to skin condition, but it was not statistically significant. It can be used in various ways as basic data on the shape and proportion of Korean faces obtained through this study, and by comparing this with beauty satisfaction, it is thought that false recognition and stress according to the individual's aesthetic standards can be reduced.
