The object of this investigation was to determine whether young women considered as beautiful differ in their three-dimensional facial characteristics from normal women of the same age and race.
The three-dimensional coordinates of 22 standardized soft-tissue facial landmarks were automatically collected in two groups of women using a noninvasive instrument. The first group consisted of 10 white television actresses selected only on the basis of their soft-tissue facial appearance ("beautiful" group); the second group included 40 healthy, white women selected according to criteria of dentofacial normality ("normal" group). The x, y, and z coordinates of the points collected on each woman were used to calculate several three-dimensional angles, linear distances, linear distance ratios, and facial volumes.
The facial morphometric characteristics within the beautiful group were more uniform than within the normal group. On average, the beautiful women had a larger forehead, a larger middle facial third relative to the total face, a wider (left-right dimension) and less deep (anteroposterior dimension) face, a smaller nose, and a less convex face (in both the sagittal and transversal planes) than the normal women.
The three-dimensional cutaneous facial characteristics of the beautiful women were significantly different from the characteristics of the normal women.
本研究的目的是确定被认为美丽的年轻女性在三维面部特征上是否与同年龄、同种族的正常女性存在差异。
使用无创仪器自动收集两组女性22个标准化软组织面部标志点的三维坐标。第一组由10名仅根据其软组织面部外观挑选的白人电视女演员组成（“美丽”组）；第二组包括40名根据牙颌面正常标准挑选的健康白人女性（“正常”组）。收集到的每位女性面部标志点的x、y和z坐标用于计算几个三维角度、线性距离、线性距离比和面部容积。
美丽组内的面部形态特征比正常组更为一致。平均而言，与正常女性相比，美丽女性的额头更大，面部中部相对于整个面部的比例更大，面部更宽（左右维度）且更浅（前后维度），鼻子更小，面部更不凸（矢状面和横断面均如此）。
美丽女性的三维面部皮肤特征与正常女性的特征存在显著差异。
