Scientists found out which women’s lips are the most attractive
It turned out that the most attractive are the women’s lips, which occupies 10% of the lower third of the face, with a ratio of the upper and lower lips of 1:2.
Found out plastic surgeons, inviting the volunteers to rate pictures of the same women with different types of lips.
Angelina Jolie or Kylie Jenner? Plastic surgeons have a formula most attractive size of a woman’s lips.
Experts from the University of California, Irvine conducted a study in which he proposed nearly 600 participants to assess sets of 20 photos of women, where they were presented with a few options of lip volume, corrected in the image editor.
Changing the photographs were based on clinical experience. The results were published in the journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery.
The most attractive, according to respondents, were lips by 53.5% more than those that were on the original photo and the size ratio of the upper and lower lips of 1:2. Lips should be about 10% of the lower third of the face.
“We support the maintenance or achievement of a natural relation, avoiding an excessive increase of the upper lip, often seen on celebrities,” say the surgeons. Lead author Dr. Brian Wong hopes the study will help to establish recommendations to achieve optimal results in lip augmentation.
The study used photos of only white women. This is probably due to the fact that they constitute 70% of the patients of plastic surgeons in the United States
Also, the authors of the study indicate that women of generation Y (born after 1981) are especially often seen in the Internet photos of celebrities, where stars appear eternally young and beautiful. Trying to keep up with the retouched ideal leads women from the real world on the table to plastic surgeons.
Among the most sought — lips Kylie Jenner, 19-year-old American model, the participants of the popular TV show “the Family Kardashian”.
In 2015, social networks flash mob #kyliejennerchallenge in which adolescents “increased” the lips with a vacuum, applying to a mouth of a Cup, jar, bottle with wide neck and sucking them from the air until their lips do not swell. This often resulted in bruising.
The star wrote on Twitter: “I’m not here in order to try to encourage the girls to look like me or to think that they are supposed to look like. I want to encourage girls to be themselves and not be afraid to experiment with his looks”.
And in 2010, the researchers wanted to know if there is an ideal location facial.
Then they concluded: “Woman with big lips, suggesting a strong potential pairing, with an average ratio of length and width of a person will always be more attractive than a woman with narrow lips in those proportions”.
Jamie Gordon, anthropologist and cultural strategist in the Agency culture in Atlanta, says that interest in large lips back hundreds of years.
“If you look at anthropological history of women’s bodies and sexuality, full lips signal not only about sensitivity, but about sexual arousal,’ she says. In a similar way in some African tribal cultures women more attractive if they have more difference between hips and waist.”
