First, the participants had to examine numerous photos of young women’s lips. Then, they were asked to. rate each photo according to their opinion on a relative scale of 1 to 10 (1 representing the least attractive appearance and 10 the maximum). /cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0594/0749/9364/files/Levre-forme-etude-jama-officielle.png" alt="Levre-forme-etude-jama-officielle" width="768 " height="457"> Then, the French researchers showed the volunteers new photos in which the lower and upper lips had been modified, in order to try to determine the “ideal” size.
