“…[13] A retruded chin is typically perceived as a baby face and conveys social submissiveness. [914] In our study, a normal and slightly prominent chin is preferred by more than 60% of the study population [Figures 5 and 6].…”

Background:Males have specific facial esthetic priorities for a variety of reasons. There exists a common perception that expectations from male facial cosmetic surgery are similar globally. The possibility of different esthetic requests of males at a single Indian center is not widely reported. This investigation aimed to identify the facial esthetic expectations and requests among males.Materials and Methods:The study was based on in-house, qualitative survey regarding facial esthetics conducted during the clinical interview among males seeking facial esthetics in a single Indian center. Preferences regarding the hairline, forehead periorbital region, nose, lip, and jaw features, were surveyed.Results:Facial esthetic preferences among males were identified. Despite the geographical and anthropological variation, the demand was largely correction of the lower eyelid, entire midfacial region – alteration of zygomatic prominence, nose, and premaxillary unit. There is a high demand for a sharp, long, straight nose as well as prominent jawline and gonial angle. The expectations of the patients appear to be influenced by the biopsychosocial constructs including race, age, and personality traits.Conclusion:The results demonstrate that there is a wide variation in facial esthetic expectation, especially one that has typical “metrosexual male” ideations. This possibly stems from their deep-seated psychological desire for a facial and personality trait. Only an in-depth clinical interview and detailed discussion would help the surgeon to understand the patient's concepts of beauty, their expectations, and surgical outcome reality.

“…[9,18] The chin shape is also an important factor in determining the attractiveness of the lower facial third and in establishing the overall desired pro le shape. [3,7,11,13] Both clinical and preclinical students have agreed on the most and least attractive chin shapes. Model 6 chin shape, which is of moderate length and protrusion, was perceived as the most attractive chin shape.…”

Background: The perception of facial aesthetics has been the subject of debate since ancient times and it is not considered to be absolute or fixed, rather relative. The dynamic relativity of facial aesthetics is thought to be affected by many factors, including but not limited to ethnicity, demographic variations, geographic locations, and other social backgrounds. The aim of this study was to assess the perception of ideal facial aesthetics among dental students in their preclinical and clinical years.Methods: A cross-sectional study of all dentistry students (n= 175 students) at Kuwait University Faculty of Dentistry. A morphometric questionnaire of six computer-generated 3D avatar female models with various facial features were constructed by altering the facial units: jaw shapes, chin shapes, nose shapes, mouth shapes, cheek shapes, profile shapes. Students were asked to choose the most and least preferred among the 6 avatar models.Results: A total of 149 questionnaire were completed by the students, with an overall response rate of 85.1%. The majority of students were female (92.6%). The preclinical and clinical students agreed on the most and least attractive facial model for all features except jaw shape. Students agreed that models with a broad jaw shape, moderately protruded chin with moderate height, short and less projected nose, prominent and full projected lips, prominent cheek bone with minimal buccal fat, and straight profile, were considered the most attractive faces.Conclusion: The study showed that dental students at Kuwait University have a perception of the facial esthetics that is largely in accordance with previously published studies. Dental students must recognize the variations of facial units and ideals of esthetics to better understand the demands and wishes of the patients, and thus, optimizing the treatment plan to achieve this goal.
