How Do the Faces of Kyrgyz Beauties Look? A Photogrammetric Analysis of Beauty Pageant Winners

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess how the eyes of Kyrgyz beauties look through an anthropometric analysis of beauty pageant winners. Eleven winners of the Miss Kyrgyzstan contest (2011–2021) were included. Ten other beauty contest winners were added, resulting in a total of 21 beauties who were included. The horizontal corneal diameter, which is 11.75 mm, was used as a standard distance. Other distances were calculated in millimeters based on the proportions of the pixels measured. Twenty-six distances (face: 10, eyebrows: 2, eyes: 4, nose: 4, lips: 4, and chin: 2) and 9 angles (forehead-brow, cantal tilt, 5 face angles, the mandible angle, and the chin angle) were measured. Thereafter, 16 indices (forehead: 1, eyes: 5, nose: 4, lips and chin: 3, and contours 3) were calculated. The forehead-brow angle was 82.2±7.2 degrees. The canthal tilt was 9.0±2.0 degrees. The overall face angles 1 and 2 were 108.6±4.1 degrees and 69.6±2.3 degrees, respectively. The midface angles 1 and 2 were 129.9±3.8 degrees and 125.1±3.9 degrees, respectively. The lower face angle was 139.6±4.1 degrees. The mandible angle and chin angle were 136.9±4.0 degrees and 106.0±4.0 degrees, respectively. The ratio of forehead height to total face height was 0.33±0.03. The ratio of nose height to total face height was 0.25±0.02. The lower face width/face width ratio was 0.82±0.05. The ratio of face width to total face height was 0.72±0.03. The ratio of midface height to total face height was 0.34±0.02. The data from this study might serve as the recommended esthetic proportions for performing plastic surgical procedures.
