The images were modified to simulate increased lip and cheek volume and lateral elevation of the eyebrows and canthal angle, either alone or in combination. Participants rated each image on attractiveness, unattractiveness, femininity, and masculinity using a 5\u2010point Likert scale. Statistical comparisons were made between ethnic groups and between modified and unmodified images.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both ethnic groups rated faces with multiple modifications as less attractive and more unattractive compared to unmodified faces. Periorbital modifications were rated as least attractive and most unattractive in Caucasian observers, while cheek modifications were rated as least attractive and most unattractive by Chinese participants, particularly women. Increased lip volume decreased attractiveness in both groups but did not significantly alter ratings of masculinity or femininity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Caucasian and Chinese observers share similar (negative) perceptions toward excessive facial modifications but differ in the specific features they evaluate least attractive.
