Philtrum Length for the Female Face
Philtrum length, defined as the distance from the the bottom of your nose to the upper lip, has been the focus of several studies. Shin et al. (2014) measured the philtrum length in 251 healthy Korean adults, finding a mean length of 14.3 mm in females. Hasibuan et al. (2024) reported an average philtrum length of 13.86 mm in 53 female participants, with a range of 8.30 mm to 17.60 mm. A study at Kathmandu Medical College found a mean philtrum length of 12.45 mm in Nepalese females. Ding (2021) suggested an ideal philtrum length for females is 12-15 mm, contributing to a youthful appearance, with elongation over time indicating aging. Growth patterns of philtrum length show a peak during adolescence, a decline in early adulthood, and an increase after age 30, with the first peak around age 12 in females.
