Facial attractiveness is based on a combination of facial proportion, symmetry, and harmony and is immersed in cultural values.¹ This study develops a set of facial measurements for women of pure Javanese heritage.

Methods

We examined facial measurements of 80 randomly selected women of Javanese descent aged 18 to 39 years living in Jakarta. Participants with abnormal body mass index, prior facial fracture or surgery, mild to severe allergic rhinitis, chronic nasal obstruction, orthodontic treatment, or craniofacial disorder were excluded from the study.

Digital frontal, lateral, and basal photographs (using a Nikon D70S camera and Nikkor zoom 18- to 70-mm lens, f3.5, Nikon Corp, Tokyo, Japan) were taken of all participants. The images were then analyzed using a proprietary digital analysis software² (Rhinobase Software, Izmir, Turkey), calibrated by including a 10-cm ruler at the facial plane.
