I've been asked before about the golden ratio and what that is. Sometimes you'll see, in relationship to cosmetic medicine, this term golden ratio come up. Golden ratio is the relationship. It's actually 1 to 1.6. And we see this relationship occurring in nature and in regard to facial structures. So how can we measure it and where do we find it? Well, for example, on this image of Sandra Bullock, we can use this golden ratio ruler. And the distance between her upper and lower eyelid is in a relationship of 1 to 1.6 in regard to the distance between the upper eyelid and the arch of her brow. So there's a good example of where the golden ratio might occur, and it does help us to identify some relationships between facial structures.
