No. 1 Cosmetic essay by Dr.Lee Jin soo – Gender of Bones 1

In general, you can tell a certain gender by looking at people's faces. You don't have to learn anything about this before. Of course, there are men with feminine faces, and women with masculine faces.

Why? Since I usually deal with facial contours, I'll talk about facial features of muscular and feminine faces. It would be interesting to read this and look at the faces of people around you from a gender perspective.

The first is whether the bones of the face are prevailing or the flesh is prevailing. The harmonious outline of the face means the bones and flesh are well balanced. Among them, the face with the dominant bone gives the impression of a man, and the face with the dominant flesh gives the impression of a woman.

So, the less weight on your face and the more the shape of your bones are revealed, the more masculine the face. On the other hand, bones are less visible in woman’s face. Feminine faces generally look younger because of the prevalence of flesh so when a young woman loses weight, she looks older and masculine.

The second is the size of the lower part of the face. In the past, the general's name in the animation "Ants" was Mandible, which means lower jaw in Korean. It gives you a masculine feeling to see that "Mandible" is the name of a brave general. On the other hand, if the lower jaw is small and narrow, it gives an impression of feminine and young.

And thirdly, it's the size of the mid-face When the middle part of your face is large, your nose will look longer and you will look masculine and old. One of the characteristics of a feminine and young face is the short middle part of the face. That's why you look older when you get a rhinoplasty.

And finally, it's about the size of the forehead and the amount of the convexity. If your forehead is big and curved, it will look feminine. In particular, man’s frontal lobe is developed in the skull, which appears to be protruding eyebrow bones on the face, and the degree of development of the eyebrow bone is largely related to the masculine face.

As explained above, when bones stand out on the face, you will look older and give a man-like impression, so we reduce protruded bones such as protruding cheekbones, jaw and tip of chin with naturally improving the lack of flesh on your face. It will make your face look softer, younger, and more feminine. That's why it's called facial contouring as anti-aging surgery.

When you look in the mirror, which one do you see, bones or flesh?
