0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,
0:16.2	and it's time for a five-minute Friday. I am excited that it's Friday. It's been a long summer. I don't know.
0:24.2	This summer hasn't felt like summer to me. It has a different flavor. I am working, working,
0:29.7	very industrious. And I want to have that lazy, slow summer languishing feeling. But it's just not happening so um we instead are going to be super
0:44.3	industrious and super creative and that's actually great i love summer for the creativity side but today
0:50.7	we're going to talk about facial balancing, which is actually a really creative pursuit.
0:55.9	As an injector, one of my favorite things that I love about my profession being a plastic surgeon and being able to craft beauty is this focus on creativity and artistry and harmonization of a face and seeing the beauty in someone's face

1:51.7	an asset or a feature and sticking it on a face whether it belongs or not. But, you know,
1:58.4	this kind of facial balancing is about how each of your features work together to create harmony.
2:03.6	That's what makes a face memorable.
2:05.7	And it is not about perfection.
2:08.3	I want to repeat, it is not about perfect symmetry and it's not about perfection.
2:12.5	It's about beautiful proportions.
2:15.7	It's about showcasing the best features and drawing attention with points
2:20.6	of light, highlights, and shadows that enhance beauty. That's what the artists of the Renaissance
2:28.8	did when they practiced that art of chiaroscuro and showing the depths and shadows and lights and harmonization on the face.
