The ”Aussie Curve” as a condition for a beautiful face—could pursuing it too much lead to a surgically altered look?
A dual-specialty doctor with a background in plastic surgery, bridging cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. At the university hospital, he performed numerous high-difficulty cases, primarily focusing on eye and facial bone surgeries, cultivating precise techniques grounded in anatomy. He prioritizes achieving both aesthetic beauty and functional safety, offering customized treatments around the eyes that incorporate ophthalmological expertise. He actively utilizes not only incisional surgery but also non-invasive procedures like hyaluronic acid injections. By carefully assessing each individual's condition and unique appeal, he provides bespoke treatments that guide patients toward naturally harmonious, well-defined eyes.
Hello,Image Designer/Plastic Surgeon Ryutaro Natsumeis
The ideal conditions for a beautiful facial contour include the E-Line, the neck-jaw angle, and the golden ratio when viewed from the front.
However, it must be beautiful not only from the front or side, but also when viewed from an angle.
The Aussie curve refers to the gentle S-shaped curve that exists from the temples to the cheeks of the face.
A flat face without an Aussie curve lacks dimensionality, giving an aged and poor impression.
The ideal shape for an Aussie curve is not fixed, but it is considered beautiful when it is neither too flat nor too pronounced, possessing a moderate curve.
The fullness is composed of the protruding cheekbones and ROOF fat.
However, as we age, bone and fat tissue atrophy, causing the volume of the breasts to diminish. The surrounding skin also sags, causing the breasts to droop downward, and the Aussie curve gradually disappears.
Countermeasures
① Hyaluronic acid injection into the ligaments near the temples to lift the midface in areas where fat has diminished
② Vertical thread lift lifts fat above nasolabial folds upward to elevate cheek tops
③ If unevenness appears due to dark circles or the hollows beneath them, dark circle treatment can smooth them out.
There are methods such as the following.
However, if hyaluronic acid or similar substances are continuously injected to raise the cheekbone position, it can lead to overfilled syndrome.
It ends up looking like a plastic surgery face.
Therefore, while the Aussie Curve remains a symbol of youth, from the perspective of well-aging (the beautiful way of aging appropriate to one's years), I believe it is a condition of beauty that should not be pursued excessively.

Summary
The Aussie curve refers to the gentle S-shaped curve that runs from the temples to the cheeks.
As you age, the curves become less pronounced, resulting in a flatter appearance when viewed from an angle.
However, excessive focus on creating an Aussie curve can lead to facial features resembling overfilled syndrome, so caution is necessary.
