Eye-tracking technology was then used to discover which part of the face the participants were most attracted to.
The scientists found that the most attractive position of the lips was when the distance between the bottom of the lips and the chin was twice as large as the distance between the top of the lips and the nose.
The panel also rated the images highly if the thickness of the lower lip was one-quarter of the distance between the bottom of the lip and the chin, and if the depth of the upper lip was half the distance between the lip and the nose . .
For men, the space between the nose and lip should be three times the depth of the lips. Dermatologist Sebastian Cotofana from Rotterdam's Erasmus Medical Center, who led the research, said: 'The proportion of the lips in relation to other facial features is crucial when enhancing individual beauty with injectable fillers.
