Content: Therefore, it is incorrect to describe pedomorphy as a correlate of beauty when more attractive features that appear to be pedomorphic are either somewhat more feminine than average features (e.g., less prominent noses and broader faces, controlling for other factors) and thereby more attractive in women or somewhat more gracile than average features and thereby more attractive in both men and women. The authors addressed whether the medical canthal tilt can be surgically altered. So far no surgical procedure has been developed to achieve this, but the palpebral fissure inclination can be altered via a procedure known as lateral tarsal strip canthal fixation. The authors also provided three illustrations of celebrities with noticeable medial canthal tilt and attractive eyes: Claire Forlani, Jennifer Connelly and Shalom Harlow. Their pictures in the paper are low resolution black-and-white ones and not worth reproducing here because the reader can easily look up these women on the net, but none of these women happen to be feminine, and the choices apparently stem from the authors’ desire to illustrate the following point they make: An accentuated medial canthal tilt is potentially responsible for the peculiar and particular attractiveness of certain professional female model’s faces that otherwise have no other particular features to make them more attractive than any other professional female model’s faces. Here is an example of a feminine woman with clear medial canthal tilt. Reference: Bashour, M., and Geist, C., Is medial canthal tilt a powerful cue for facial attractiveness?,
