First impressions - fillers can help.
Posted in Cosmetic Services on November 10, 2010
This was a fun study on first impressions that I read recently. They took 19 people and took pictures of their faces (in a relaxed pose). Those pictures were then evaluated by 300 people who filled out a survey rating them on several characteristics. The meilolabial fold, also called the nasolabial fold ( the furrow that runs from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth) was filled with a hylauronic acid filler substance until the fold was at optimal correction. Photos of these same people were again evaluated by the 300 evaluators. This result was a significant improvement in all the areas rated (Social skills, academic performance, dating success, occupational success, attractiveness, financial success, relationship success and even athletic success). Wow, that's an easy way to get a better first impression.
