Evaluating the Naturalness of Their Appearance
This is an emerging area of discussion within physiognomy that may gain increasing importance and evolve into a significant research focus in the future. Due to my extensive experience and specialization in physiognomy, I'm able to identify whether someone has undergone cosmetic surgery about ninety percent of the time, particularly if they've had multiple procedures.
While this topic might not carry much relevance in South Korea, it is undoubtedly beneficial in China. Allow me to explain why this issue has arisen. Recently, a friend invited me to a lecture by a physiognomy master employed by a plastic surgery clinic. I chuckled and did not reply because using physiognomy to promote cosmetic surgery is fundamentally a deceptive strategy aimed at generating profit. Moreover, some practitioners in the cosmetic surgery industry have confided in me that their clinics invite physiognomy experts and showcase numerous celebrity cases to mislead the public. In reality, most celebrities have had cosmetic procedures, but undergoing surgery doesn’t guarantee celebrity status. I believe everyone realizes this basic principle, yet those excessively obsessed with beauty and perfection often lose their sense of reason in the process.
Some male internet users have also expressed concerns; although they are drawn to high standards of beauty, they fear the prospect of marrying someone whose beauty is artificial. So, how can one differentiate between natural beauty and artificial beauty?
Essentially, natural beauty remains authentic, while artificial beauty is manufactured. Regardless of the skill level in cosmetic enhancements, they often fail to achieve a natural aesthetic because of their artificial origin. Typically, an individual's appearance reflects the distinctive traits of their local geography, such as mountains, rivers, and terrain. Although a region's inhabitants display millions of diverse looks, the basic features or structural templates tend to be quite similar. For example, in mountainous areas, people often exhibit sharper features; individuals from flatlands generally have more rounded faces; high-altitude regions produce more upright appearances; and those living near water or the sea typically display delicacy in their features. The more beautiful the natural scenery, the more refined the features, and the more exquisite the facial structure.
Any type of physiognomy that reflects regional characteristics can be perceived as beautiful or not. Thus, when you notice someone with prominent facial bones yet a noticeably high nose bridge that appears artificially measured, it is likely not natural. For instance, a flat face paired with an intricately high nose may seem detailed but loses its natural appeal.
Regarding the eyes, whether large or not, and whether their size is natural, can be ascertained by analyzing the shape of the eye corners. If someone has had their eye corners surgically adjusted, the corners and tails of their eyes will appear undefined, whereas natural eyes feature well-defined corners and tails.
When it comes to jawline modifications, individuals with broader faces typically have wider spaces between their eyebrows and eyes. Observing someone with a wide forehead and eyebrow-eye distance but a narrow face may seem awkward, indicating potential jawbone reduction.
The chin serves as the most telling feature. It can either be sharply pointed like a top or visibly protruding, akin to a drooping water bag. Actress Gigi Leung exemplifies a truly naturally pointed chin; comparing hers makes the distinction evident. If a chin is surgically altered, it will not taper naturally but will instead project abruptly.
Such unnaturally tapered or overly prominent features disturb the overall natural harmony. Even with the latest techniques, artificial enhancements are detectable from any angle because natural beauty inherently contains certain imperfections, and these imperfections contribute to its authenticity. Once people comprehend this, they recognize that while cosmetic surgery may correct external flaws, it can also intensify internal insecurities.
