It turns out that there is an "ideal" ratio of the upper lip to the lower lip. In the era of selfies, many women are looking for ways to make their lips look incredibly beautiful, plumper and more sensual. For reference, more than 27,400 lip augmentation procedures were performed in the United States in 2015, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
But what do “ideal” female lips actually look like? Attractive lips look more natural than you might expect, according to new research published in JAMA (Facial Plastic Surgery).
So in February 2017, researchers from the University of California, Irvine showed more than 400 participants images of young female lips. They were then asked to rate each photograph on a scale of one to 10, with 1 being the less attractive shape and 10 being ideal, respectively.
First, the participants were shown photographs that showed different volumes of both lips.
Then a photo, where the upper lip is larger than the lower one, to finally see the perfect balance.
Finally, the results showed that the participants preferred lips that were 50% larger than the natural lip size of the women studied. In addition, it is preferable that the lower lip is 2 times larger than the upper lip. Such as the model Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio.
Please note that this study was conducted with images of young girls only. And it goes without saying that lips are not the only influence on the attractiveness of women. So don't worry if your lips don't line up with the study. Adaptation and translation: trends.desigusxpro.com/en/
