    TLDR The document concludes that ideal facial proportions are guided by specific measurements and symmetry to enhance beauty, but individual characteristics must be considered.
    The document from 2016 explores the evolution of aesthetic facial proportions and the perception of beauty, noting how ideals have shifted from ancient times to the 20th century. It emphasizes the importance of considering age, sex, body habitus, ethnicity, and the impact of hair on facial aesthetics. The paper outlines specific measurements and angles that are deemed ideal for facial features, such as the eyelids, nose, lips, chin, ears, and neck, and discusses the role of symmetry and the Golden Proportion in assessing facial harmony. It provides ideal ranges for various facial angles, like the nasofrontal, nasolabial, and mentocervical angles, and acknowledges that while there is no exact formula for beauty, these measurements can guide surgical planning to enhance facial harmony, taking into account individual characteristics.
