Babyface makes people look younger and lovely. Babyface is popular and advocated by Korean girls. The natural babyface owner is lucky, but in reality, people who want a babyface is growing increasely. In order to get a baby face, a lot people choose the plastic surgery package -rhinoplasty and fat grafting.Lähde
The surgical steps are as follows: Firstly, get the fat from own body and graft the fat in nasolabial sulcus, forehead and face. And then rhinoplasty follows.
Barbieline rhinoplasty is unique in that it is combination of the most favored noses and is only performed in ID Hospital.

We believe that every girl has a beautiful princess dream. When we watch the romantic drama, we imagine that we are the heroine of the story, and we dream of becoming a real princess from a Cinderella.
In girls’ heart, How does a beauty look like? Like a cartoon character who has a small face with big eyes, which is already being planted in our mind.
This is an aethestic standard which lasted for almost half a century and didn’t get changed. In the eyes of girl, a real beauty must be the owner of big and bright piercing eyes. And this view echoed by almost all the girls. As the old saying goes, the eyes are the window to the soul. If this window is small and narrow, how could you see the world clearly and enjoy this world?
Etsin tietoa neoteniasta ja siihen liittyen löytyi oikein samanniminen nettisivusto, josta löytyi mielenkiintoista tietoa eliitin ulkonäöstä, jota olen itsekin vähän tarkastellut.
“We do have data from Japan that are highly suggestive. Here, for many centuries, fair skins have been under parental control and, other things being equal, parents seek attractive brides for their sons. As elsewhere, members of the upper classes tend to be the luckiest. This might be expected to lead to selection as the generations have gone by. Research which I conducted a few years ago (Hulse 1967) indicated that this has taken place, for upper-class high school students have the fairest skins and those of the lower class the darkest, while middle-class students are intermediate in pigmentation. Furthermore, data from Greece (Friedl 1962) indicate that girls who are considered good-looking marry earlier than, and need not be supplied with as large a dowry as, their less-attractive sisters. Throughout southern Europe, the upper classes contain a disproportionate number of blondes and near-blondes. Sexual preferences, though they may be based on social snobbery rather than aesthetic interest, are capable of shifting allele frequencies in human population.” (Hulse, F. S.

Many humans are attracted to mates that feature these childlike characteristics. Being attracted in such a way, we encourage the continued evolution of our species in this neotenous direction. With the recent (last 6,000 years) emergence of stratified society and relatively permanent elites, we have a group of people engaging in almost compulsive human breeding not unlike the way we breed dogs. Except, they themselves are the subject of their attention.
The elites, whether in the East or West, have for centuries been choosing mates exhibiting neotenous characteristics. Fair skin has been an obvious, highly desired feature. In the West, blue eyes and blond hair have been highly valued. A net result has been the accumulation of light-skinned peoples at the top of the social pyramid with a corresponding deprecation of dark-skinned peoples far below.
Löytyi vanhempi tutkimus, johon en ole tainnut vielä viitata, mutta siinä tuodaan taas esille kuinka miehet ovat useimmin pitäneet pitkähiuksisia, mutta myös neotenisen ulkonäön omaavia naisia kauneimpina.
Multiple Fitness Model states that attractiveness varies across multiple dimensions, with each feature representing a different aspect of mate value. In the present study, male raters judged the attractiveness of young females with neotenous and mature facial features, with various hair lengths. Results revealed that the physical appearance of long-haired women was rated high, regardless of their facial attractiveness being valued high or low. Women rated as most attractive were those whose face displayed neotenous features in the center of the face (large eyes, smallnose) and sexual maturity features, such as long head hair at the periphery. Furthermore, desirable psychological and social traits were attributed to individuals with different hairstyles: male raters associated long hair with the image of a determined, intelligent, independent, and healthy individual, whereas short hair was associated with characteristics such as honest, caring, emotional, and feminine. The possible relationships between attractiveness ratings of scalp hair and perceived social and psychological traits are discussed.Lähde
The almost automatic positive reaction to babyness proportions in faces (Fridlund & Loftis, 1990) has led to the assumption that babyness could be involved in attractiveness perception, because it could signal neoteny or youth and thereby gives rise to care-taking behavior. Jones (1996) shows that relatively neotenous female faces, i.e., faces that appear to be younger than the actual age of the face, are rated as more attractive by male raters from five populations. Attractiveness and youth ratings could rely on the influence (presence or absence) of sex hormones. Wildt and Sir-Peterman (1999) showed that age ratings of female pictures are different than actual age, and female attractiveness in their sample was estrogen dependent. Thin lips, high forehead and big eyes have been mentioned in many studies as traits of “babyness” (Rensch, 1963; Cunningham, 1986; Johnston & Franklin, 1993). It is felt that forehead height should be especially attractive because it is supposed to signal babyness and neoteny (Hess, Seltzer, & Shlien, 1965; Cunningham, 1986; Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1997). Besides forehead height, brows situated high in the forehead and their curvature are supposed be an expressive signal, which signals a permanent “eye-brow-flash” and thus will give the face an attentive, open look (Cunningham, 1986; Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1997). A small mouth and full lips are attractive, because they are supposed to demonstrate high estrogen levels and thus optimal fertility hormone profiles (Johnston & Franklin, 1993; Thornhill & Gangestad, 1993). Grammer and Atzwanger (1993), however, have shown that high cheekbones, as a sign of maturity, have to be added for a face to be viewed as attractive. These various traits appear to be the result of a high estrogen-to-testosterone ratio during puberty, with estrogen involved in capping the growth of bony structure in the face and body (Thornhill & Grammer, 1999).Lähde
Differences in standards of beauty for men and women can also be seen in terms of an evolutionary argument. Size and muscle power is valued among men as they were once needed to obtain and defend resources. Now there are financial and political proxies for physical strength, but in the words of Henry Kissinger, "power [remains] the ultimate aphrodisiac."20(p78) Young, fair, curvaceous women are perceived as beautiful because they are more likely to be nulliparous and hence fertile.21- 23 Women's hair and skin is permanently darkened following pregnancy,24,25 and waist-to-hip ratios in excess of 0.8 are associated with a diminished chance of pregnancy.26,27 That "beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as on the brain circuitry of the beholder" is demonstrated by the behavior of infants.28 Three- to 6-month-olds stare longer at photographs of attractive, unfamiliar faces than at unattractive unfamiliar faces and play for relatively longer durations with attractive dolls and attractive strangers than with less attractive dolls and strangers.29- 31 The features most attractive in young women, as Konrad Lorenz32 has noticed, may be those that remind us of babies' soft, clear skin and hair, big eyes and cheeks, and small noses. In short, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but those eyes and the minds behind the eyes have been shaped by millions of years of human evolution.33 Nancy Etcoff, in Survival of the Prettiest, explains that beauty is a universal part of human experience that promotes pleasure, rivets attention, and impels action that helps ensure survival of our genes.2(p233) People value beauty in a mate because other qualities essential for parenting, such as fidelity, reliability, kindness, and intelligence have no physical markers.Lähde
Physical attractiveness and its relation to the theory of sexual selection deserve renewed attention from cultural and biological anthropologists. This paper focuses on an anomaly associated with physical attractiveness-in our species, in contrast to many others, males seem to be more concemed than females with the attractiveness of potential sexual partners, perhaps because humans show far more age-related variance in female than in male fecundity. The resulting selection for male attraction to markers of female youth may lead incidentally to attraction to females displaying age-related cues in an exaggerated form. This paper reports cross-cultural evidence that males in five populations (Brazilians, U.S. Americans, Russians, Ache, and Hiwi) show an attraction to females with neotenous facial proportions (a combination of large eyes, small noses, and full lips) even after female age is controlled for. Two further studies show that female models have neotenous cephalofacial proportions relative to U.S. undergraduates and that drawings of faces artificially transformed to make them more or less neotenous are perceived as correspondingly more or less attractive. These results suggest several further lines of investigation, including the relationship between facial and bodily cues and the consequences of attraction to neoteny for morphological evolution.Lähde
This study examined women's looking time towards female faces while they judged them for attractiveness, prettiness, cuteness and beauty. In Study 1, ratings were similar for scales of attractiveness and prettiness, and participants looked longer at prettier over less pretty faces. Judging female faces on the basis of attractiveness did not elicit visual preferences, although in this case females’ biases to look at attractive women might have been inhibited by the physical presence of an experimenter while looking times were being recorded. In Study 2, duration of viewing time was computer-recorded without participants’ knowledge, after priming them to judge faces in terms of attractiveness, prettiness, beauty or cuteness. Viewing time increased with face appeal; the differences between low and high appeal faces turned out to be greatest when participants evaluated them in terms of attractiveness and least apparent when asked to judge them in cuteness. In conclusion, both studies revealed a correspondence between aesthetic and looking preferences, yet some variation in women's visual attention depending on how female beauty is labeled.Lähde
Mean ratings of the sexual attractiveness of the underage girls were lower than those of overage girls and women. In addition, correlations revealed significantly longer responding times when “underage” girls (and men) were rated as more highly sexually attractive. No such relationship emerged with the same girls labeled within the age of consent or women. Overall, these data suggest that men find pubescent girls identified as being under the age of consent sexually attractive, but inhibit their willingness to report this; the greater the attraction, the greater the inhibition.Lähde
When examining race, the researchers found that the Sensual/Sex Kitten beauty type was used more often with Caucasian models, and the Cute/Girl-next-door beauty type was used more often with Chinese models.Lähde
Lastly, age, or rather the perception of age, plays an important role in female attractiveness. Men prefer neotenous facial features in women (Cunningham, 1986), presumably because it indicates that the women is young and therefore fertile (Buunk et al. 2001). According to Menken, Trussell and Larsen (1986) men place more importance on perceived youthfulness in their female partners because women have a limited reproductive window. Men, on the other hand, are fertile throughout most of their adult lives, and one might expect that perceived youthfulness might not be as important for their attractiveness (Symons, 1979). However, Korthase and Trenholme (1982) found that perceived youthfulness is important for both sexes, albeit more important for female attractiveness. As neotenous features such as large eyes, small nose and small chin are also more feminine, there is also a positive correlation between perceived youthfulness and femininity in both sexes (Berry and McArthur 1985; Perrett et al. 1998).Lähde
Numerous studies have demonstrated that waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) affects perceptions of female physical attractiveness and fecundity. This study tested the assumption that facial attractiveness explained more variance in overall ratings and fecundity than WHR, when the latter is manipulated within the normal range (0.67 – 0.85). One hundred and sixty-one participants (mean age = 21.5) rated the attractiveness, youthfulness, fertility, healthiness and likelihood of being pregnant for 27 photographs of three females in which facial attractiveness in terms of neoteny (three levels) and WHR (three levels) had been systematically digitally manipulated. Facial attractiveness exerted a significant influence on judgements of attractiveness, youthfulness, fertility and healthiness, whereas WHR only affected likelihood of being pregnant. Results are interpreted in terms of neotenous facial attractiveness providing potential mates with information concerning phenotypic and genetic quality.Lähde
Consistent with sex differences in mating strategies, the greater age-related decline in female facial attractiveness was driven by male respondents, while the greater age-related increase in male perceived power was driven by female respondents. In addition, we found evidence that some personality ratings were correlated with perceived attractiveness and power ratings. The results of this study are consistent with evolutionary theory and with previous research showing that faces can provide important information about characteristics that men and women value in a potential mating partner such as their health, reproductive value, and power or possession of resources.Lähde
