Abstract

The frontal facial moire photographs of 50 male and 50 female young adults with esthetic face strictly selected from Chinese population on the basis of the standard were taken and analysed three-dimensionally. It was found that not only significant correlation but also a statistical linear regressive equation existed between nose, lip and chin, between lip and chin, and between the width and the height of the face. So it is possible, on the basis of a known variable, to calculate another variable by means of the mathematical equation, which will provide quantitative variables for the orthognathic and the plastic surgery creating the esthetic face.
