Why The Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio (also known as Phi, or the Fibonacci number) is the mathematical symmetry algorithm that underlies our perception of attractiveness. The Italian Renaissance polymath, Leonardo Da Vinci, used the Golden Ratio equation and realised that the closer a face or object gets to this number, the higher the level of its perceived beauty. Studies of the most beautiful women in the world have shown that they have countless instances of this ratio in their faces. This proves symmetry to be a key factor in perceived attractiveness, especially in female faces. Dr Nina uses the Golden Ratio formula, as well as her own personal assessment, to analyse her patient’s face and devise a specific treatment plan. She measures the length and width of the face. Then, she divides the length by the width. The ideal result—as defined by the Golden Ratio—is roughly 1.62. Upon consultation only.

The Benefits
Thanks to the latest advancements in facial aesthetic treatments, today it is possible to restore your proportions closer to the Golden Ratio and rejuvenate older features.
Asymmetries and effects of the ageing process can be easily corrected with a different combination of treatment options, usually including dermal fillers and botulinum toxin. A bespoke treatment will be personally recommended for you by Nina Bal after a thorough consultation.
Some of these treatments include:
- Cheek fillers can bring your face into balance by making the cheekbones more prominent. This can give you an instant, razor-sharp definition, and a natural-looking, youthful appearance. The treatment also smooths the nose-to-mouth lines, effectively lifting the entire face.
- Side profile balancing and Chin Sculpting is another popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure and is an excellent and affordable option for patients with a weak and/or small chin, or a chin with irregularities, who want to avoid surgery to achieve facial symmetry. This can also change the contour of the face by balancing facial features.
- Low brows can make your eyes look heavy, while higher, defined yet natural-looking brows have the opposite effect. Our eyebrows are genetically determined, but you can make the most of your natural shape to make your eyes stand out and immediately acquire a fresher, younger look.
The Concerns
- This Golden Ratio method works particularly well when it comes to correcting a patient’s visible facial asymmetry, such as one eyebrow higher than the other, or one cheek fuller than the other.
- One other thing to consider when it comes to calculating the Golden Ratio is that certain facial measurements, such as the distance between the mouth and nose, and the width of the mouth and nose tend to expand with age. In addition, with age our face tends to lose volume and the skin loses elasticity, often becoming saggy. This means that with time, even faces that were previously considered symmetrical tend to deviate from the Golden Ratio.
