To compare the facial characteristics of two different groups of attractive women with those of reference women.
The three-dimensional coordinates of 50 facial landmarks were collected in 71 healthy reference women (18-30 years old) and in 24 coetaneous "attractive" women selected during two different beauty competitions; soft tissue facial angles, distances, areas, and volumes were computed and compared using analysis of variance.
When compared with reference women, both groups of attractive women shared several similar facial characteristics: relatively large forehead (P < .001), reduced mandible (P = .008), and rounded face (reduced surface-to-volume ratio, P = .002). They had a more acute soft tissue profile, an increased upper facial width (P < .001) and middle facial depth, larger mouth, and more voluminous lips (P = .005) than reference women.
Both groups of attractive women had several facial characteristics suggesting babyness. Nonetheless, each group of women was characterized by a different development of these features. Esthetic reference values can be a useful tool for clinicians, but should always consider the characteristics of individual faces.
比较两组不同的魅力女性与参照女性的面部特征。
收集了71名健康参照女性（18 - 30岁）以及在两场不同选美比赛中选出的24名同龄“魅力”女性面部50个标志点的三维坐标；采用方差分析计算并比较面部软组织角度、距离、面积和体积。
与参照女性相比，两组魅力女性具有一些相似的面部特征：额头相对较大（P < .001）、下颌较小（P = .008）、面部圆润（表面积与体积比减小，P = .002）。她们的软组织轮廓更尖，面部上半部分宽度增加（P < .001）、面部中部深度增加、嘴巴更大、嘴唇更丰满（P = .005）。
两组魅力女性都有一些表明孩子气的面部特征。然而，每组女性这些特征的发育情况不同。美学参考值对临床医生可能是一个有用的工具，但应始终考虑个体面部的特征。
