The face as a means of recognition
The face is wide, and is the feature which best distinguishes a person, often at first glance. It is located on the upper portion of the human body and is unique.Likewise, caricatures often exaggerate facial features to make a face easily recognized in association with a pronounced portion of the face of the individual in question—for example, a caricature of Osama Binladen might focus on his facial hair and hair style; a caricature of George W. Bush might enlarge his ears to the size of an elephants, and a caricature of Jay Leno may pronounce his head and chin. Exaggeration of memorable features helps people to recognize others when presented in a caricature form.
Cosmetic surgery is often used to alter the appearance of the facial features.
