Natural versus fashion


MOVING AWAY FROM NATURAL BEAUTY, CAN MAKE SOMEONE LOOK LESS BEAUTIFUL


There are many changing trends in facial aesthetics Unfortunately some trends do not suit everyone's face

and will therefore not make them look or feel more beautiful For example, older lips that are thinner and have lost definition will not look more beautiful if they are are

made BIG. The best outcome achievable would be to restore what was once there

The picture below is of the Ricketts E plane line

The Ricketts line is used to assess ideal proportions of the lower face specifically for the proportions Of the lips in relation to the nose and chin and the overall aesthetic of the face

Dr. Ricketts felt that to have an aesthetically pleasing facial profile, in the average face, the lower lip would be 2 mm behind the line, and the upper lip 4 mm behind the line, with variations being normal for patients of different ethnic backgrounds.

His theory has led to being one of the most widely used measuring tools in facial and profile balancing. Although the exact measurements differ in today's practice, commonly in the lips, a profile where the nose

and chin projection meet this line are still desired in the geometric measurement of beauty. I will always take this into consideration when treating your face and will always persuade you to stay natural I will not do treatments that will make you look less beautiful

And I'm not adverse to declining treatments, if I think it would look unnatural on you

Just me, keeping you safe?
