What does the chin say? Strong-willed chin in men and women: description and features

A small chin (medically called inferior micrognathia, or microgenia) is an incredibly common problem.

However, most people who can be confidently diagnosed with this have not only not heard such words, but also do not suspect that there is anything wrong with them. They are healthy, everything is in place. But no matter how hard they try to achieve an ideal appearance, it doesn’t work!

Neither losing weight, nor taking care of your face, nor changing your hairstyle helps. It's not clear what's going on! As a result, people either come to terms with the fact that everyone is imperfect, or they suffer all their lives because the ideal is unattainable for them personally.

What is microgenia (micrognathia) of the lower jaw

Microgenia of the lower jaw is nothing more than a small underdeveloped chin. A defect in appearance caused by a lack of bone in the chin area.

A young girl contacted Platiennetal with complaints about a small chin and asymmetry of the chin area.

A small or sloping chin spoils any face. And if a small chin in men can still be hidden under a thick beard (for those who find the strength to wear this “decoration”, which makes the owner look ten years older), then a small chin in women cannot be disguised.

Looking at a human face, we often see only the whole and do not notice the details.

A short chin in itself is not noticeable and is not perceived as a flaw. But with its size it violates the proportions. From the side, a fuzzy oval of the face, early wrinkles, folds on the neck and a premature double chin are visible. And only a specialist - a maxillofacial surgeon or an orthodontist - will understand that the reason is the insufficient size of the chin.

Why is a small chin bad?

Try a little experiment. Take a full-face photo of yourself and mentally divide your face into three parts: the upper one - from the hairline to the eyebrow area, the middle one - from the eyebrow area to the tip of the nose, and the bottom one - from the tip of the nose to the base of the chin.

Now arm yourself with a ruler and see if these parts are equal to each other. Equal? Congratulations – your face has the correct proportions. Not equal? What third violates the harmony of features? There is a very high probability that the lower part of the face is to blame for the occurrence of disproportion.

The basic laws of k - the “rule of three thirds” - were formulated by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Therefore, in order to improve your appearance as a whole, it is enough to simply “build up” your chin a little. Is this possible? Maybe. At Platinental we do this every day.

How to fix a small or receding chin

You will probably be surprised to learn that treatment for microgenia takes no more than 1.5 hours. Depending on the severity of the problem, two methods are used.

First– non-surgical chin augmentation with Radiesse fillers or Sculptra. Chin contouring corrects tissue deficiency in the chin area. But only for a while. Fillers must be reinstalled once every 2 years.

Second The technique is implantation, during which permanent implants are installed in the chin area. This operation can be performed even on those people who naturally have a very small chin, which cannot be corrected with any fillers.

The dream of a manly chin will require only 5 days of rehabilitation. Medpor chin implant. Lifetime results. Surgeon - Vasiliev Maxim.

At Platinental we use Medpor implants made of dense porous polyethylene. They are biocompatible, perfectly follow the anatomy of the face and do not require fixation to the bone.

Medpor is inserted through incisions on the side of the mouth. After installation, such an implant grows with blood vessels, grows into the tissue and does not change its position.

These features of the implant allow it to be installed once and for life, without the need for correction in the future.

The chin is located in the lower part of the face, as if completing its composition. The chin and character have a clear relationship in our minds: we often say that a person has a “strong-willed chin” or, conversely, “soft and weak-willed.” In Chinese physiognomy, it symbolizes the strength of a person’s character and the state of his health in late life.

Perfect chin

The chin is located in the Third section of the face, which starts from the tip of the nose and ends at the bottom of the chin. On the chin there are points of a person’s life in old age - between the ages of 61 and 75 years. It is clear that a well-shaped chin symbolizes the strength of the human body in old age and its longevity.

Ideally, the shape of the chin should be rounded at the sides and slightly square at the bottom. It is neither wide nor narrow, not round, but not quite square either! Such an ideal chin indicates harmony in the character of a person, whose distinctive features are sociability, integrity, diplomatic abilities, politeness, and a sense of tact.

The formation of the chin ends only at the age of thirty: after that one can judge its real shape.

Chin shape and character

1. Pointed chin

A sharp chin indicates the politeness, cunning and insincerity of its owners. An excessively long and sharp chin reveals a cruel and vindictive person.

In young women, a pointed chin looks attractive and is considered beautiful. However, according to Chinese physiognomists, such a chin indicates difficulties in the nature of communication and poor health in old age.

2. Round chin

Those with such a chin know how to organize work so that others work for them. The roundness of the shape of such a chin indicates an insufficiently strong character.

3. Oval chin

Such a chin serves as a standard of beauty, but does not promise its owners strength and strength in old age. Its owners are distinguished by their love of love and artistic inclinations, but physiognomists do not promise them children.

4. Square chin

A chin of this shape speaks of a strong, courageous and firm character, combined with the stubbornness and willfulness of its owner. If such a chin protrudes slightly forward and is raised upward, then it belongs to a power-hungry person who strives to benefit from everything.

5. Double chin

The presence of a chin of this type in a thin person promises him a happy old age: good health, prosperity and the love of children.

A double chin for an overweight person is normal: this is also a good sign, but to a lesser extent than in the previous case.

A small, fleshy double chin reveals a lover of voluptuousness.

6. Chin tilted back

Those with a chin of this shape are usually spineless, patient, compliant and have a quiet disposition.

7. Cleft chin

A weakly defined chin with a slight split indicates a passionate nature, and a stronger split indicates a love of reclusion.

A strong cleft chin is a sign of increased sexuality of its owners.

Moles on the chin and character

The chin and character can be linked due to the location of moles in the lower part of the face.

1. Moles in the central part of the chin

A mole located in the center of the chin speaks of the adventurous nature of a person who loves travel and adventure, his love of knowledge, determination, optimism, and generosity. Such people are optimistic by nature, reliable and devoted in friendship and love.

2. Moles on the chin on the right side

Such an arrangement of moles indicates a person’s serious attitude to work, bordering on workaholism. Owners of such moles live at work, coming to work first and leaving last. Such work zeal harms family relationships due to lack of free time and excessive fatigue. In general, this situation can lead to deterioration of health.

3. Moles on the chin on the left side

Moles located on the left side of the chin indicate a person capable of mercy and charitable activities not for the sake of fame, but because of the nobility of the soul and the desire for justice.

4. Moles at the base of the chin

The location of moles at the base of the chin indicates the possibility of achieving success in various areas of life without serious effort on the part of their owners. Such people do not experience a shortage of material resources throughout their lives, have loyal friends, have excellent physical properties by nature and succeed in business thanks to their professionalism and business acumen.

Chin and character are inseparable both in our minds and in Chinese physiognomy!

A dimple on the chin is a fairly common feature of the facial structure among Caucasians. It occurs, according to physiologists, due to underdevelopment of the tissues that attach the skin to the bone. The depressions occur in places where muscle fibers are attached to the deep superficial layers of the skin - on the chin and cheeks. This feature is inherited. Sometimes the depression in the skin looks like a “prick”, and then it is called a fossa. Sometimes there is a groove on the chin, and then they talk about a cleft chin.

What can a dimple on the chin tell us, and why did our ancestors treat people marked by this feature with some caution?

What does physiognomy say?

Physiognomy - the so-called doctrine according to which a person’s personality type, his mental qualities and even his state of health are associated with his facial features - is today considered a pseudoscience.

However, for centuries this connection was considered an undeniable scientific truth. A number of serious scientists paid tribute to physiognomy. Including the Swiss anthropologist and writer Lavater (1741-1801), the Italian doctor Montegazza (1831-1910) and the Italian psychiatrist Lambroso (1835-1909).

Lavater considered a dimple in the chin a sign of good nature. Montegazza, without disputing this statement, noted that the dimple, increasing attractiveness, indicates that this person has a more beautiful body than his soul. As for Lambroso, he, who described in his writings the appearance features of “typical criminals,” paid special attention to the chins. In his opinion, a protruding quadrangular, cleft chin reveals a born killer. A more neat chin, with a dimple in the middle, is characteristic of a swindler, whose appearance is generally quite good-natured and attractive.

These statements can be treated as you like, but they are based on beliefs that have existed for centuries.

It has long been believed that people with a dimple on their chin were “kissed by God.” These are bright, extraordinary and artistic natures. And at the same time, they have a number of traits that make them quite dangerous individuals.

Men with such dimples are distinguished by their strong-willed character, courage and recklessness, bordering on adventurism. They tend to act rashly and lack patience. In addition, men with a dimpled chin tend to be very popular with women and have an inordinate sexual appetite.

Women with this facial feature, according to physiognomists, are impulsive, selfish and incapable of compromise. At the same time, they are very attractive to men; dimples give their appearance a certain “zest”.

Thus, the owner of a cleft chin - be it a woman or a man - is simply a walking force of nature.

What does folk tradition say?

There was a special attitude towards the dimple on the chin not only in European countries, but also here in Russia.

Men with cleft chins were generally not favored. They were credited with fickleness, unbridled temperament and stubbornness. In addition, in Russia, girls were also very fond of good fellows with dimples on their chins. Evidence of this can be found in folk beliefs described by Russian ethnographers I. Sakharov and A. Tereshchenko.

A Ukrainian folk song describes a handsome man who has won a girl’s heart: “...Vyshivanka shirt, tall and stringy, with a pit in his beard.”

There is a saying these days: “A dimpled chin is loved by idiots.”

However, the general disapproval of Russian people towards the dimple on a man’s chin is also caused by the fact that any feature of this part of the face is obvious only if the man is shaved. A smooth chin is only suitable for a very green boy, but not for an adult. The decoration of a man's face is a beard. A shaved chin, and even one marked with a dimple, was considered a sign of debauchery and depravity.

Moreover, there is something subtly foreign about the cleft chin. The Slavic type of appearance corresponds to a face with rounded, soft shapes. A firmly defined cleft chin is usually a sign of the “Nordic” type, characteristic of the Germans, for example. But Germans and any foreign people were not welcome in Rus'.

In Rus', women with a dimpled chin were treated somewhat more leniently. Popular rumor attributed to them love and kindness.

A dimple on a girl's chin was also considered a sign that her first-born would be a boy.

But at the same time, men were afraid of the stormy temperament of the owners of such a feature, because the popular saying said that “A dimple on the chin is the mark of a slut” (a stronger expression was used in the original).

What does the shape of your chin say about your character?

Today I invite everyone who is interested in the topic - physiognomy. In the last article, I talked about how the shape of a person’s nose and his character traits are connected. Now let's go down a little and look at the chin.

A chin protruding forward under the first incisor of the teeth (Fig. 1) means a desire for marriage. Such people prefer a partner with the same temperament as his. And then what we call intimacy arises between people.

A chin protruding a little further forward, behind the sign of intimacy (Fig. 2), speaks of a desire to be loved. This symptom is usually most common among men. When it is strongly pronounced, the chin projects on either side of its center. This gives a subtle appearance to the chin and other features.

The desire to love is expressed in a narrow rectangular chin; it is most pronounced in women (Fig. 3). Tender feelings depend largely on this ability to love, a sign of which is such a chin. Those who have this characteristic are pronounced, want to give pleasure to those who want to be loved, through something opposite to sex. All this speaks of mercy. If the owner of this sign is a woman, then she persuades modest people, mainly her circle, equal to her by birth and condition, to marry her.

The wide front of the chin, on the contrary, speaks of a trait opposite to the desire to love; the chin, expanding under the fang of the jaw (Fig. 4), speaks of the ability to be furious in love. Such a square chin belongs to courageous faces and accompanies unhealthy passions: jealousy, suspicion, embellishment of reality and deceit. This sign is present in mentally ill people due to love experiences.

A wide lower jaw under the first two small molars (Fig. 5) indicates the ability for ardent love. Together with a sign of frantic love, this gives the jaw a rounded shape and speaks of strong feelings; such signs are more pronounced in women than in men. These powers are most manifest in hugging and kissing, and are shown not only by the width of this part of the chin, but also by the width and fullness of the scarlet surface of the lips.

The width of the lower jaw under the wisdom teeth (Fig. 6) means fidelity in love. This gift makes a person make promises and accept gifts as keepsakes; such people remain faithful to memories and marital vows and passionately desire to have children in marriage. People who have a pronounced sign of this will never violate someone else’s marriage by taking away their partner, and they will not change their own for a more suitable one. The passion to be loved here is the main incentive to love oneself and to be creative and faithful.

The desire for kinship of souls and exceptional passion is indicated by a chin protruding far forward (Fig. 7).

Throwing your head to the side also speaks of the desire to be loved and the ability to love fiercely (Fig. 8)

Willpower is indicated by the length of the chin, which slopes downward under the fangs (Fig. 9). Pronounced, such a sign indicates great strength of character. These are people who value the position in society that they themselves have achieved. Children with such signs have suffered many blows of fate during their lives, and, in the best case scenario, become heroes in the future. These children tend to repeat often: “I will do what I want.”

The length of the lower jaw under the second molar (Fig. 10) indicates persistence. People who have this sign are very persistent, persistent in everything they undertake, and they do not tend to rest until the work is completed. This trait is clearly expressed in good students, naturalists, astronomers, and mathematicians.

By the length of the lower jaw, which goes down under the front incisor (Fig. 11), one can judge a person’s determination. People who have this sign are very energetic.

When such a gift of determination is small (Fig. 12), then people have little efficiency and energy.

Resilience can be judged by the base of the lower jaw and the straightness of the neck (Fig. 13).

A long windpipe with a larynx, with an arched front of the neck (Fig. 14) speaks of such a trait as independence. If this trait is not very pronounced, then such people still have some freedom of thoughts and feelings. Although at the same time they blindly rely on others. People with a pronounced such trait remain firm and unshakable when there are attempts to deviate them from their intended task.

Some people believe that our facial features reflect our character, others think this is complete nonsense. But here's one observation: for some reason, people who can quickly determine what a person is like usually have a good memory for faces.

Eye color

Green-eyed men are possessive and jealous, but very hardworking and always strive to achieve their goals.

Blue-eyed people are constantly searching for themselves, so they can change their occupation quite often, and they can move mountains for the sake of a loved one.

Gray-eyed representatives of the stronger sex look for benefits in everything, close relationships with a woman can be no exception; these are pragmatic partners, lucky.

Brown-eyed people are a little frivolous and flighty, but with age they usually make settled and faithful partners.

Brows

Owners of wide and thick eyebrows are usually generous; such a partner will not skimp on gifts.

If the eyebrows meet on the bridge of the nose, then this is a man who really appreciates and loves his mother. Therefore, for a long and harmonious relationship with him, you will simply need to find a common language with his parent. Among men with fused eyebrows there are quite a lot of henpecked men.

If a man’s eyebrows are too thick, and they literally hang over his eyes, this means that you are looking at an adventurer who is used to getting what he wants, and he is unlikely to take your interests into account.

If the eyebrows are narrow and not thick, their owner has a soft character, he is modest and may even be complex. You shouldn’t expect decisive action from such a man.

Stubborn people, leaders and strong personalities have straight noses. If you are ready to unconditionally accept the leadership of such a man, it makes sense for you to consider him as a partner.

Eagle noses are popular among women, but their owners are cunning and often cruel. These are sexy and attractive men, but quite distrustful in relationships. These are not easy partners.

Snub-nosed men are emotional and vulnerable in nature; money does not stay with them because of their innocence and impulsiveness. In general, if you are ready for constant changes in your relationship, this is your man.

A sharp and thin nose reveals a romantic and subtle nature; this man will fill your relationship with tenderness, but he is unlikely to be able to solve any problem when it arises.

If a man has a potato nose, he is a cheerful fellow, the life of the party, a little frivolous and flighty.

Upturned noses speak of temperamental partners who live with momentary desires, but a nose with flaring nostrils indicates an amorous and lively nature.

Cheekbones

A man with high cheekbones is power-hungry, in communication he is used to dictating his terms, he has a complex character.

Low cheekbones, on the contrary, indicate a lack of will and courage. Such a partner will preserve the family until the last, and in most cases, in such a couple the leader is a woman.

If the cheekbones are not high and not low, then you have a man who embodies both willpower and strength of character, and at the same time modesty and the ability to compromise.

Dimples on the cheeks indicate good nature and the ability to rejoice; with such a man you will never be bored.

Lips

With lips the situation is exactly the same as with cheekbones, you need a “golden mean”.

Lips that are too thin indicate cautious, dogmatic people; if the corners are also downturned, then you have a pessimist and a whiner.

Too full lips indicate soft men, sometimes infantile, for whom a woman should play the role of a mother.

But lips of medium size, with clearly defined corners, not too plump, but not thin either, indicate strong, strong-willed individuals who usually achieve their goals. With such a man you will be like behind a stone wall.

Chin

This part of the face attracts the same attention as the nose. Women like men with strong chins and this is absolutely justified.

A well-defined chin really indicates willpower and the ability to achieve your goals.

Men with a square chin have determination and a strong character.

A protruding chin occurs in cunning, intelligent and sharp-tongued people.

An expressionless chin indicates that the man is most likely weak-willed and you can twist ropes out of him.

The shape of the ears can also tell a lot about a person's character.

Powerful and even cruel men have large, fleshy ears.

Pointed upwards are a sign of intelligence and prudence.

The owner of tightly pressed ears is cold-blooded and cunning.

Perhaps the most ideal ones are ears close to the quadrangle; the owners of such ears are noble, kind and firm in their decisions.

Men with long ears are stingy and envious, and protruding ears indicate simplicity and frivolity.
