A human face contains a wealth of information about an individual, with which an observer can instinctively make a judgment on the attractiveness of the face. However, despite the profuse literature on facial and smile attractiveness, their origins, determinants, and perceptions remain controversial. The axiom in face processing research is that a face is perceived as an amalgamation of its features, and is referred to as "whole" or "holistic" perception. It is pertinent to the clinician involved in the provision of esthetic restorations to understand this holistic process of face recognition and perception of smile attractiveness. This review paper addresses face recognition and perception of attractiveness by reviewing the holistic perception of faces, including the multidimensional face-space model, and also reviews the smile and facial attractiveness according to the average, multiple motive, and secondary sex characteristics theories.
人脸包含了大量关于个体的信息，观察者可以凭本能对人脸的吸引力做出判断。然而，尽管有关面部和微笑吸引力的文献很多，但它们的起源、决定因素和感知仍然存在争议。面部处理研究的公理是，人脸被感知为其特征的融合，被称为“整体”或“整体”感知。这与参与提供美学修复的临床医生有关，他们需要了解这种整体的面部识别过程和对微笑吸引力的感知。本文通过回顾人脸的整体感知，包括多维人脸空间模型，以及根据平均、多种动机和次要性别特征理论回顾微笑和面部吸引力，来探讨人脸的识别和吸引力感知。
