Objectives: The study of anthropometry defines the beauty of the body from a geometric perspective. Anthropometry therefore aids the plastic surgeon in planning the reshaping of the body
Introduction: When the anthropometric proportions are respected, the result is aesthetically optimal and the perceived beauty of the body is enhanced.
This anthropometric approach also makes positioning of areolae and the umbilicus very easy.
Materials / method: In order to apply the anthropometry of the body, I have gone back to the anthropometric studies of the nineteenth century sculptor Carlo Rochet.
The anthropometric underpinnings of beauty are well-known to artists, as they have to reproduce it in their works. I have been using Rochet’s anthropometric studies as the starting point for all my plastic surgery procedures.
Results: A total of 160 participants, with 55 (91.6%) females and 5 (8.4%) males, were enrolled in the study, reflecting a diverse demographic with a mean age of 35.5 years (range, 21 to 53).
Conclusion: The evolution of standards for bodily beauty can be traced from historical paintings, such as Raphael’s “The Three Graces” (1503/4), to contemporary times. This transition underscores the dynamic nature of anthropometry in defining beauty.
The study of anthropometry defines the beauty of the body from a geometric perspective.
