Beyond clear and smooth skin, a beautiful face shape has been one of the most sought-after features.
It is easy to see why: your face shape determines which type of glasses will frame your face, which haircuts flatter you the most, and even the type of hair colours you should opt for if you want to contour and highlight your face.
Genetics determine what your face shape will look like. Hence, you will usually have a face shape similar to one or both of your parents.
Other than genetic factors, gender also determines your face shape. Different sex hormones can make your face sharper, square, or softer, so men and women tend to have slightly different face shapes.
Although all face shapes are beautiful in their own ways, science has found one specific shape universally acknowledged as the most attractive shape you can have – read on to see if you may have it!
The Face Shape That Wins Hearts
We know beautiful people with square-shaped faces, round faces, and so on. However, the heart shape, otherwise more commonly known as a V-shaped face, has been scientifically proven to be the most visually attractive face shape to have.
V-shaped faces like those of Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon are deemed 'mathematically beautiful'.
A V-shaped face typically refers to a fairly wide forehead and chin. The chin will be slightly pointy, the jawline will be relatively narrow, and the cheekbones will ideally be as wide as your eyebrows.
If you are wondering whether this face shape is more art than science, here's what you should know!
This conclusion was derived after scientists at the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia analysed the average facial measurements from photographs of 55 beautiful female models to quantify the exact idealistic facial proportions of a vertical distance of 13.1mm between your eyes and cheekbones.
The same research has also shown that a heart, or V-shaped, face helps you look younger, which is also why it is deemed highly attractive and coveted by many, especially in Asia.
How To Get A Permanent V-shaped Face
While most of us yearn to sport a V-shaped face to look visually appealing and youthful, not all of us are genetically blessed with the most mathematically ideal face shape.
However, don't despair even if you belong to the majority who did not hit the DNA jackpot!
Besides products and tools that give you a temporary lift (think face massagers), there are also non-invasive and minimally-invasive aesthetic treatments that can give you more permanent results:
4D Fluid Facelift
This is a bespoke non-surgical facial enhancement and rejuvenation treatment designed by Dr Ivan Puah. It aims to subtly restore the natural and curved contours of the face and lift targeted facial features such as the cheeks.
The treatment can also enhance the chin, giving it a balanced, youthful, and natural appearance.
Using selected facial fillers, 4D Fluid Facelift can:
- Replace volume loss on the face due to the ageing process
- Improve skin quality
- Smooth out fine lines on the forehead
- Remodel the cheeks and chin for good facial definition
- Define and enhance lips
- Soften moderate lines around the mouth to the chin and from the nose to the lip corners
This procedure may be combined with Anti-wrinkle Injection (BoNTA) and Pico Fractional Laser for an even smoother complexion and younger-looking appearance.
Anti-wrinkle Injection (BoNTA)
Wrinkles and fine lines develop for the following reasons:
- Ageing that causes the skin to thin out, dry and lose elastin
- Repetitive facial muscle movement forms dynamic wrinkles and the permanence of static wrinkles if left untreated.
Anti-wrinkle Injection (BoNTA) is the perfect solution to reduce lines and wrinkles as it is a . It is neuro-muscular blocker that inhibits neurotransmitter function. It blocks acetylcholine transmission from the neuron to the muscle and impedes muscle contraction.
This injectable treats muscle spasms and arm stiffness, severe spasms in the neck muscles, and muscle stiffness in the elbows, wrists, fingers, ankles, or toes.
It is also prescribed to treat a variety of medical conditions, such as chronic migraines, eyelid spasms, and even excessive sweating.
Anti-wrinkle Injection (BoNTA) may reverse a 'pointy' chin (otherwise known as a witch's chin) by relaxing the muscle that causes skin puckering. It can also tighten and redefine the neck and jawline for an elegant and more youthful look and even reduce oil production in the skin so that glass skin can also be attained.
Laserlipolysis (Laser Liposuction)
If you struggle to get rid of your double chin that is getting in the way of your V-shaped face, no amount of dieting and exercise seems to work, as the fat area is too stubborn.
In such cases, you can turn to Laserlipolysis (Laser Liposuction), a minimally-invasive fat reduction treatment ideal for removing small pockets of facial fat such as double chin and cheeks.
A tiny tube (around 1mm) containing a fibre optic laser is inserted into excess fat under your skin. The melted fat is subsequently removed via suction.
Do note that Laserlipolysis (Laser Liposuction) can only be performed by doctors who have received liposuction accreditation. Therefore, not all doctors can offer this option. Dr Ivan Puah from Amaris B. Clinic is one of the few doctors in Singapore licensed to perform liposuction.
Where To Get A V-shaped Face
Although the methods we've listed above are minimally invasive and non-surgical, they can only be carried out by trained and accredited doctors in Singapore.
If you'd like to seek consultation on these treatments for a V-shaped face, Dr Ivan Puah from Amaris B. Clinic is one of the doctors in Singapore to visit.
With over 20 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, giving FDA-approved injectables under his belt, he has also received training and guidance in syringe liposculpture, fat grafting and thread lift by French plastic surgeon Dr Pierre Francois Fournier.
In a nod to his professional reputation, Dr Ivan Puah currently serves as the chairman of Lipo Peer Review Group in Singapore. He is also the appointed trainer for doctors on cosmetic injectables by Merz Aesthetics Singapore and Allergan Singapore.
