The Chin To Philtrum Ratio


Disclaimer: I am aware I'm new to this website, however I will try my best to make this a high quality thread :),
Also to my knowledge I understand that this is probably a "water post/thread" but
still read anyway

Introduction
1759304702142

The chin-to-philtrum ratio is a facial proportion measurement often used in fields like anthropology, orthodontics, cosmetic surgery, and aesthetic analysis. It compares the height of the chin (from the bottom of the lower lip to the bottom of the chin) to the height of the philtrum (from the base of the nose to the top of the upper lip). The lower face (nose base to chin) is divided into two equal parts: Upper lip/philtrum: 1/3 of lower face Chin: 2/3 of lower face This gives an ideal chin
to-philtrum ratio of about 2:1. A short chin (ratio < 2:1) can make the face appear retrusive or “weak.” A long chin (ratio > 2:1) can make the face appear elongated or “strong.”​


Why It Matters

1. Facial Balance & Harmony​


Our brains are wired to pick up on proportions. The chin-to-philtrum ratio affects how balanced the lower third of the face looks. A roughly 2:1 ratio (chin twice the philtrum height) is often considered the most harmonious.

2. Perceived Attractiveness​


Studies in facial aesthetics show people tend to rate faces with "ideal" proportions as more attractive, even across cultures. A short chin may be linked to a “childlike” or weaker appearance. A long chin may make a face look older or more elongated.

3. Sexual Dimorphism​


Men and women naturally differ: Men usually have longer, stronger chins (higher ratio). Women often have shorter, softer chins (lower ratio). This ratio helps signal masculinity or femininity.







Conclusion
In summary, the chin-to-philtrum ratio is a prosaic but significant index of face proportion. A desirable ratio of roughly 2:1 is typically correlated with balance, beauty, and sexual dimorphism, with males having relatively longer chins and females shorter chins. Aesthetic considerations apart, this is a valuable measure of facial disproportion that is clinically applied to orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, and cosmetic planning, helping to define facial growth imbalances and treatment planning.​

the ideal chin to philtrum ratio is around 2.67;1 for men (Caucasian males assuming average philtrum and lip anatomy)

In short, this forum is being psyoped by ratios. Read my thread and at the very bottom I include the ideal measurements for caucasian males.

Assuming the whole thread was written by you, High IQ user. Also thanks for sharing on what I can keep in mind/improve for next time <3 Really Appreciate it.

@NuclearGeo20 My main goal of this post was to define how important it is to have a short philtrum, as I believe it to be one of the "make or breaks" of your appearance. :Comfy:

remember you don't want it too short, if your lips are Caucasian.

1759307112170
shorter philtrum with bigger lips

1759307142942
longer philtrum with smaller lips

Ideal Caucasian philtrum is around 15mm depending on lip size.

Ideal chin vertical height (front profile) is around 40mm. (Caucasian)

Short philtrum without lip compensation
