The face as a means of recognition

The face is the feature which best distinguishes a person, often at first glance. It is unique to each person. There are many different types of faces from many different cultures, almost as unique as a fingerprint.[citation needed]

Caricatures
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 bin Laden might focus on his facial hair and nose; a caricature of George W. Bush might enlarge his ears to the size of an elephant's; a caricature of Jay Leno may pronounce his head and chin; and a caricature of Mick Jagger might enlarge his lips. Exaggeration of memorable features helps people to recognize others when presented in a caricature form. [3]
Cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgery is often used to alter the appearance of the facial features. [4]
