The Art and Science of Whole-Body Contouring

Abstract

Body contouring, art, and science are related in a variety of ways. Science, specifically math, has itself been described as an art mutually stimulated even by the third millennium. The Egyptian Canon of Proportions was a rational approach to constructing beauty in art. It clearly suggests, Height and width have a definite geometrical relation to one another. The fundamental question was whether beauty could be defined through an external set of criteria. Such a notion has been evident throughout time. One of the best examples for the concept of art and proportion is reflected in the works of da Vinci in Vitruvian Man, which simply can be summarized, as The span of a man’s outstretched arms is equal to his height. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
