Methods: Beauty in itself has no certain definition and is merely a perception of belief brought on to the people through various social media that created a standard for facial proportions, which provided a sense of social acceptance among ordinary people.

The beauty of a person’s face is determined by the harmony of proportions, symmetry and asymmetry. Variation of beauty indeed lies in asymmetry. Ideal proportions are directly related to the so-called divine proportions and the most important value in relation to these proportions is 1:1.618. The purpose of this study is to evaluate with the use of anthropometric measurements in Indian volunteers which will give guideline in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures and will also show the differences in Indian and Caucasian population.
