Forehead
The forehead signifies luck sent from heaven and is considered the “first prosperity mountain” of the face. A forehead that is smooth, round, prominent and wide indicates good fortune, power and wealth according to feng shui. The forehead should also be clear of lines, blemishes, spots or moles.
Chin and jawline
The chin is the second “mountain” of the face. An auspicious chin is one that is fleshier, prominent and well-contoured, as that displays luck and stability during older age, with supportive friends and subordinates. A recessed chin with a jawline that lacks definition is not ideal. In men, a strong jawline also indicates a strong personality, masculinity and authority whereas a receding jawline indicates misfortune and weakness.
Cheeks
High cheekbones and fuller cheeks are highly desirable in welcoming greater wealth and prosperity into your life. Well-defined or prominent cheekbones that are fleshy are said to signify authority and success in one’s career. Interestingly, many of these traditional beliefs do align with what is considered a desirable or attractive according to aesthetic medicine, such as the smooth round forehead, contoured chin, symmetrical or well-balanced face and clear unblemished skin with smooth skin texture. However, not all the feng shui beauty standards can be applied to everyone. As aesthetic physicians, our role is to assess the individual’s face and bone structure to determine what characteristics or features can or should be enhanced (or downplayed), in order to achieve a result that is both aesthetically pleasing and desirable to the individual.
