Beauty is sensed. If you have to think 🧠 whether or not something is beautiful, then it isn’t. Studies we and others have done prove that we find things most beautiful when we first sense them whether it is a painting 🖼, a glass of wine 🍷or a face 😁. If I ask you do you “think” it is beautiful then your brain’s pleasure centers are dampened you lose the pleasure or dopamine release from feeling beauty. Bottom line if you have to think about it then it isn’t beautiful. When unknowing observers 👀were asked to judge the age of attractive individuals, their reward centers in their medial orbital frontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex were stimulated. Yet, when the observers were directly asked to evaluate the attractiveness of the faces, their reward centers were paradoxically under stimulated. This suggests when asked to evaluate beauty and its focus is is brought from the subconscious to the conscious, we are no longer rewarded by it. Bottom line: For a beautification effort to be successful, it has to purpose its effect in a subconscious manner. A natural look is most effective way to impart a more positive first impression 👍. “Subliminal Difference: Look better, feel better and nobody knows quite exactly what you had done” For more information on the subliminal difference and attractiveness, click the link in my bio to learn more! #PlasticSurgery #PlasticSurgeon #Author #NewYorkTimesBestSeller #DrStevenDayan #SDMD #MedicalResearch #FaceLift #ChicagoFacialPlasticSurgery #NYTBestSeller #ChicagoPlasticSurgeon #Rhinoplasty #Beautiful #Rhinoplasty #NeckLift #DowntownChicago #MedicalAuthor #ChicagoAuthor #ChicagoLife #DoctorsOfInstagram #botox #FacialPlasticSurgery #Filler #AestheticMedicine #Attractiveness #Beautiful #Love #Research #Wisdom #Truth
