Hello. : Hello. I will give you an opinon from a psychiatrist. My interpretation is that a person's beauty should be judged by their character not by their outward appearance. A woman could look exceptionally beautiful from a physical perspective but might be cruel, spiteful, selfish, self - absorbed etc. Thus, this woman may possess physical beauty but lack more meaningful beauty when it comes to their persona. How a person looks on their outside does not determine what their personality is like. Now, what would be really great is if you can get some input from plastic surgeons who do a lot of elective cosmetic surgery. Many of their clients may be seeking the type of beauty that is skin deep through medical procedures.
