- Abstract
Objective/ The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of facial esthetics on male subjects among orthodontists, dermatologists and laypersons with respect to different ratios of the upper and lower lip vermillion. / Methods / Faces of three white men aged between 20 and 30 years were photographed and the photos manipulated to create five different ratios between the upper and lower lip vermilions, namely: 1:1, 1:1.5, 1.5:1, 1:2 and 2:1. The rendered images were assessed by orthodontists, dermatologists and laypersons, who rated the attractiveness of each face by means of a visual analog scale. / Results / Concordance between evaluators considered more attractive the 1:1 ratio of the vermilion of the upper and lower lips, with no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between the three men. / Conclusions / The ratio of the vermilion of the upper and lower lips exerted a strong influence on male facial aesthetics, with the 1:1 ratio being considered the most aesthetic. / Keywords / Lip. Face. Esthetics. Orthodontics.
