(3.1). Measure from the Golden Ratio = to determine the most suitable chin length proportion.
The Golden Ratio is the “golden proportion” of the face, a 1:1:1 ratio to ensure the face is the right size.
The method is to use the palm of your hand to place on the entire face in 3 sections, consisting of:
Upper Face: The upper part, measuring from the hairline to the eyebrows.
Middle Face: The middle part, measuring from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose.
Lower Face: The lower part, measuring from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin.
Each part of the face where the palm is placed must be the right size, not too large or too small, to be considered a correct Golden Ratio 1:1:1. If anyone measures and their chin is shorter or longer than the palm, chin filler injections must be performed to adjust the face shape to be proportional.
(3.2). Facial angle = A tool used to measure the facial angle to determine the most appropriate chin position.
Measure from the Glabella and draw a line to the Subnasal to the Pogonion.
Divided into classes as follows:
I : 165 – 175 degrees => The most suitable and beautiful proportion.
II : Receding chin.
III : > 175 degrees => Protruding chin.
(3.4). Ricketts' aesthetic line = Used to define the most protruding point of the chin, in the most appropriate proportion.
Draw a line from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin. The upper lip must be 4 mm away from this line and the lower lip must be 2 mm away from this line.
(3.5). Chin width = A beautiful chin should not be too pointed. It should look round and beautiful, but not too much, and still look natural.
The proportion of chin width in women and men will be different in size.
Women: The width of the chin should not exceed the edge of the nostrils.
Men: The width of the chin should not exceed the edge of the corner of the mouth.
