Use botulinum toxin to shrink your head circumference? How much do we earthlings care about big heads...
There is a saying called "big head and big head, don't worry when it rains", but only the big-headed star people know that in addition to the big head can be used as an umbrella (no), the rest is all sorrow.
It can only be said that medicine understands human beings, and in order to improve the big head, scientists found 20 people in 2018 to try to inject botulinum toxin into the temporal muscle
The injection point is 1~5
Injection point 2 horizontal position measurement can be used to obtain the upper facial circumference
One month after a man's injection, the circumference of his upper face changed from 50.2±9.2cm to 49.1±10.7cm. Although the effect is minimal, it is also a technological breakthrough.
A month ago VS a month later
Some sisters may want to ask, why choose the temporal muscle?
This is because the temporal muscle, which originates in the temporal fossa, helps the mouth close or remains closed, and also helps with chewing.
However, if the temporal muscles are enlarged, in addition to causing the temples to twitch when the mouth is closed or chewing, it can also cause the temples to protrude, resulting in a bulge of the head and upper face, that is, it looks large.
The same principle as botulinum toxin softening the masseter muscle to narrow the lower half of the face, since the size of the skull is difficult to change, if you want to change the head circumference, you can start from the temporal muscle, which is equivalent to curve salvation.
Since then, botulinum toxin has added a "shrinking head circumference" in addition to wrinkle removal, face slimming, rectification of disobedient expression muscles, improvement of strabismus, hyperhidrosis and other functions.
However, sheep does not recommend everyone to try it ha!
After all, even if botulinum toxin is hit, the head is not much smaller, and the technology is too new, the risk is unknown, or safety is the most important.
But if the sisters have a big head of distress, there are still many other ways to improve the drop.
When we say that the big head is not good-looking
What is actually being discussed?
East Asians have suffered for a long time.
Sheep divide the causes of large heads into two categories
First, the head circumference is "absolutely large".
Around the age of 15, the head circumference is close to that of adults, and the sisters can take out a soft ruler and measure their head circumference according to the position below.
Adult head circumference is mostly between 54cm ~ 58cm, girls' head circumference is greater than 58cm, and boys' head circumference is greater than 60cm, which is equivalent to entering the ranks of big heads.
Lei Jiayin's head circumference is 61cm, and he is about to catch up with Zhang Yi's waist circumference
The absolute value of the head circumference is actually a minority, and more is the head "looks big".
A sample survey in Canada showed that the average head circumference of East Asian women adults was 55.4cm and that of men was 57.9cm, while the average head circumference of white women was 55.2cm and that of men was 57.8cm.
Summary: On average, East Asians' head circumference is only 0.2cm larger!
So why are East Asians always said to be big-headed? This is to consider the "head shape reason".
According to the length and width ratio of the skull, most of the skulls of blacks belong to the long cranial type, the skulls of whites are mostly of the middle cranial type, and the skulls of East Asians are mostly round.
The upper left corner is a typical Chinese head
The lower right corner is a white head
That is, the skulls of blacks and whites are narrower and longer, while the skulls of East Asians are shorter but wider in diameter.
When the head circumference is similar, the wider the head and face when viewed from the front, the larger the head feels.
In this way, Lisa's head is larger
Don't forget that most of the Chinese are ultra-wide-faced/wide-faced, and only about 4% of people belong to the narrow-faced/ultra-narrow-faced-type, and the face is generally shorter and wider, and it is more difficult to judge the head of the head.
Speaking of which, the sheep also want to cue the habit of some elders to let children sleep with flat heads (heartbreaking)...
The skull of children is relatively fragile, and long-term sleeping on the back may destroy the spheroid shape of the skull, and even change the facial features.
This makes matters worse, making it easier to create a large pan with a wide front and flat sides.
However, to measure the size of a person's head, you can not only look at the head, but also look at the height and body shape.
That is to say, a large head is a relative concept, and a small body will also make the head big.
In addition to height, shoulder width is also an important basis for us to judge the size of the head and the small head.
Take a group photo to feel the importance of head-to-shoulder ratio
Ideally, a woman's full head height should be slightly greater than or equal to half the width of her shoulders.
If the shoulders are wide, even if the head circumference is larger, the proportions are coordinated, such as the super cool Daiwen Aoki.
Unfortunately, the sheep read a paper that measured shoulder data for East Asians and North Americans, and concluded that our East Asians' shoulder morphology is indeed narrower.
If the shoulders are too narrow, there is a risk of being spit on "big-headed dolls".
Remember Lu Yu and Wu Jinyan on the shore of Daming Lake? They are all like the younger sister of South Korea's idol-Tianji Zhen, dragged down by narrow shoulders.
It's not just the head-and-shoulders ratio that matters, but also the head-and-neck ratio.
Shorten Xueyun's neck and throw it away, do you feel that your head looks bigger?
To sum up
In addition to the head circumference value, head shape, face width, height, shoulder width, and head-neck ratio will also affect the visual size of the head.
After taking notes, let's move on.
Big head VS big face
The collision of two dimensions
Sheep just said that a wide face will lead to a large visual head, but a large face and a large head are two different things.
It is common to have a large head and face, and usually need hairstyling.
The face shape of the two is not dominant, but the distribution of facial features and details are good
The absolute area of the face can be judged from the face width, face length, and face shape trend.
The large face is generally divided into the following situations
Masseter type (masseter hypertrophy)
Skeletal (enlarged jaw, prominent cheekbones, large outer contour)
Fat type (fat deposits at the jaw rim and even a double chin)
Proportional type (short and wide faces are larger than long faces and have more concentrated white features)
Comprehensive type (combined with the above)
Zheng Xiujing gained weight for a while
It looks like the face is a lot bigger
There is also a situation where the head is large, but the face is small.
These people seem to have taken half of the genetic lottery, although the head is large, but the parietal bone, temporal bone, cheekbone, and mandible development are very coordinated, from the top of the head to the sides to the ears, forming a strong sense of wrapping, which is what we often call "head wrapped face".
Let's pick two more familiar examples, that is, Lei Jiayin with a big face and Liu Haoran with a big face.
Both of them have a head circumference of 61cm, but the size of their faces and the proportions of their bodies are different, and the visual effects are also very different.
Speaking of modern actresses, most of them have undergone absolutely rigorous selections.
Even if the photogenic head is slightly larger and the face is large, it is still much smaller than that of an amateur.
It is never wise to blindly compare with artists, but we can still learn how they create small heads and small faces.
How does the big head save itself?
The hairstyle makes up for the head-wrapping effect
If you, like Chen Hongxin, have a big head but a small face, the sheep suggests that you put more effort into hairstyling.
Raise the top of the skull + the figure eight bangs with a peripheral length exceeding the cheekbones, and the head and face become smaller in minutes, and the hairline is lowered by the way.
The face is large, the hair should not be too suitable, try to choose a layered, fluffy hairstyle, and make a fuss on bangs, forehead hair, and broken hair on the ears.
However, not fluffy, the face is big, fluffy, the head is big -
The volume of hair will make the face small, and at the same time it will increase the volume of the visual head (really annoying).
Especially this kind of small volume, Dame!
Therefore, the sheep recommends that when choosing a hairstyle, the big-headed sisters should be as narrow as possible in addition to taking into account the fluffiness.
Compared to curly hair, high-level straight hair with bangs will make the head narrower, thus making the width of the head / the width of the shoulders ratio better.
For big-headed sisters, sheep are more recommended than middle scores.
Or just tie your hair up to minimize the presence of your head and win with a sense of freshness.
If you don't like tying your hair, you can consider pinning your hair behind your ears, or braiding your hair next to your ears, so that your face will not look very wide visually.
Wear adjustment to optimize head-to-shoulder ratio and head-to-neck ratio
Similar to the principle that Korean boys are keen on "double-door refrigerator shoulders", Asian girls also often use the layering of the upper body to cover the large head and small body.
One is to divert attention, and the other is to achieve visual "shrinking the head" by expanding the upper body area.
Simple instructions be like to maximize shoulder width, reshape the shoulder line, and use wide shoulders to set off the small head.
Items like puff sleeves, ruffles, flying sleeves, shoulder padded coats, silhouette suits, etc., can be boldly picked according to your usual style.
At the same time, please actively avoid chokers, silk scarves, and suffocating turtleneck sweaters and small collars.
If the neckline is too tight, it will make the lining bigger, it is recommended to wear more open shoulders, straight shoulders, or V-neck U neck and other large necklines to lengthen the neck line and optimize the head-to-neck ratio.
Divert attention with a hat
There is a saying that when the hat is right, the head is doubled. But every big head is looking for the right hat for fate.
Others wear hats, big heads put hats, who understands?
Three practical tips
Baseball caps avoid flat brims, choose a style with a certain curve, brim width ≥ cheekbone width on both sides.
The wide-brimmed hat with a large hat circumference is friendly to the big head and can play a role in narrowing the head shape.
The wide-brimmed hat is used for covering, while the beret is completely free from contact with the face and head circumference, and the big-headed sisters try to lean back when wearing the beret and treat it as an accessory.
If necessary, wear it with a wig, the effect is plus.
Narrow the face and amplify the presence of the facial features
It is known that the width of the face will make the head large, so narrowing the width of the cheeks as much as possible also has a certain effect on "shrinking the head".
Two ideas, one is to use makeup to enlarge the sense of facial features and reduce facial whiteness.
The second is to narrow the face by project, make the outer contour line more neat, face slimming needles, diamond superplastic, fat reduction, cheekbones + mandible plastic surgery...
Lu Zhengyi, who the sheep just wrote about a few days ago
But then again, no aesthetic or standard is absolute, and beauty is not pure number.
If there is no need for photogenicism, you don't have to be too persistent in the big head, which is difficult to change even if you work hard. Instead of struggling with head circumference size, it is better to pay attention to overall coordination.
It's really not okay, hide back when taking photos, or shrink your head with one click with the Meitu App, everything is OK.
Who dares to say that Hong Gu is not beautiful
After all, sometimes big heads are cute.
