In order to analyze effectiveness of massage on arm and leg muscles, the study took case on studying massage effecting facial shape modification. The subjective group is based on 35 females living in Seoul suburbs. After preliminary inspection, manual massage was carried out to arms and legs. As manual massage has taken place, post investigation is taken. The effect of the experiment was graded into three parts of facial contour level change. In order to analyze the relativity between pre- and post-experiment data, the study verified levels of significance into P<0.5. As for the length between eye-end and mouth-end, it shortened after the massage. It has relativity in the diversity of the data.( T= 2.762, P= 0.007) Length between eye-end and ear-end also shortened after the massage. It has relativity in the diversity of the data.( T= 2.412, P = 0.019) Statistic analyses in length between mouth-end and chin-end have no relativity. (T= 1.494, p= 0.140) But in average, size of face happen to come smaller from 10.40cm to 10.05cm. As a result, the study shows manual massage in arms and legs have cosmetically effect in facial and its related muscles.
