Most accurate way to measure midface

[TheEndHasNoEnd]

Midface ratio takes into account stuff like philtrum length and lip depth and border. Actual midface is the upper facial height of your face:

As you can tell, the philtrum and other stuff are part of the lower facial height so shouldn't be accounted for when measuring midface. The proper way to measure midface is to divide the ipd over the upper facial height, or to make an angle between the ipd and the bottom of nose like so:

Ideal measurement is 66 degrees with the angle or 1.28 when dividing the distances. Make sure to measure it on frankfurt plane as well.

Are you saying people measure it objectively wrong usually?

yea but accurate enough id say. leo dicaprio has a worse midface ratio than barrett bc of his long philtrum but on this measurement he moggs.

hulk would do insane on this but shit on midface ratio. id say ppl percieve a short nose more than theyd percieve a short nose + philtrum.

Hulk looks compact indeed, good thread

meant to say that ppl percieve nose length rather than nose length + philtrum length in general. philtrum only stands out if its stupidly tiny or stupidly long

Is it over at 60 degrees?
Nice post btw

that goes for everything though

Nice post btw

as long as u got other good features it shouldnt matter much

that goes for everything though

wym? im just trying to say that a really short philtrum could fraud midface ratio measurement and that it does nothing to midface compactness perception

This is completely irrelevant when it comes to looks, it is like finding the ratio between ear size and anal circumference, it tells us nothing.

Turns out it’s 63 but my features are not that good anyway. It’s not over probably I’m just being dramatic

Cope, your ear size to anal circumference ratio is probably huge

 

[TheEndHasNoEnd]

its over for us

 

[LordNorwood]

This is already somewhat incorporated into your the ratio of your thirds

how can i measure the angle easily?

I thought about making this kind of post, but couldn't put it all together good job

is 60 degrees okay or is it over?

 

[bobsmith03]

how many degrees can you increase by getting bimax? Or instead how much mm of nose length can you reduce with bimax?
