having to pay $15 million in damages after a Virginia jury ruled that her case didn’t hold up in court, at least she’s still got a near-flawless face, according to scientific standards.First described by the ancient Greeks, the Golden Ratio (numerically: 1.618) refers to a formula of proportions that have been purported to identify the most mathematically perfect visage.
British cosmetic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva shared his rationale for declaring Heard’s face exactly 91.85% close to perfect — about as good as it gets — by using digital facial-mapping technology.The Golden Ratio, alternatively signified by the Greek letter phi (Φ), can be observed in all manner of life and design.
And the closer the proportions of any given object are to phi, the more perfectly balanced they appear.De Silva analyzed 12 points on Heard’s face — using a red carpet image from 2016 — to measure between her eyes, nose, lips, chin and overall head to get the nearly 92% score.“The Greeks discovered that the ratio occurs everywhere in nature, and for thousands of years it has been thought to hold the secret formula of the world’s most beautiful faces,” the doctor told US Weekly in 2016.“The phi ratio of 1.618 has long been thought to hold the secret for beauty, but now with the computer mapping, we can calculate how it applies to real women,” he added.A post shared by UK Facial Plastic Surgeon (@drjuliandesilva)De Silva, who runs the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery in London, has applied the same formula to countless well-known beauties.
