For over 2000 years, many artists and scientists have tried to understand or quantify the form of the perfect, ideal, or most beautiful face both in art and in vivo (life). A mathematical relationship has been consistently and repeatedly reported to be present in beautiful things. This particular relationship is the golden ratio. It is a mathematical ratio of 1.618:1 that seems to appear recurrently in beautiful things in nature as well as in other things that are seen as beautiful. Dr. Marquardt made the facial golden mask that contains and includes all of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional geometric golden elements formed from the golden ratio. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of the golden facial mask. In 40 cases, the authors applied the facial golden mask to preoperative and postoperative photographs and scored each photograph on a 1 to 5 scale from the perspective of their personal aesthetic views. The score was lower when the facial deformity was severe, whereas it was higher when the face was attractive. Compared with the average scores of facial mask applied photographs and nonapplied photographs using a nonparametric test, statistical significance was not reached (P > 0.05). This implies that the facial golden mask may be used as an analytical tool. The facial golden mask is easy to apply, inexpensive, and relatively objective. Therefore, the authors introduce it as a useful facial analysis.
两千多年来，许多艺术家和科学家都试图在艺术和现实生活中理解或量化完美、理想或最美丽面孔的形态。一种数学关系一直被反复报道存在于美的事物中。这种特定的关系就是黄金比例。它是一个1.618:1的数学比例，似乎反复出现在自然界的美丽事物以及其他被视为美的事物中。马夸特博士制作了面部黄金面具，它包含并囊括了由黄金比例形成的所有一维和二维几何黄金元素。本研究的目的是评估黄金面部面具的实用性。在40个案例中，作者将面部黄金面具应用于术前和术后照片，并从个人审美观点的角度对每张照片进行1至5分的评分。面部畸形严重时评分较低，而面部有吸引力时评分较高。使用非参数检验比较应用面部面具照片和未应用照片的平均得分，未达到统计学显著性（P>0.05）。这意味着面部黄金面具可作为一种分析工具。面部黄金面具易于应用、价格低廉且相对客观。因此，作者将其作为一种有用的面部分析方法进行介绍。
