ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the preference regarding facial profile among a community of young students in South Korea and Mexico in 2012. Material and Methods: 400 surveys were conducted in 4 faculties of UNAM of Mexico and 4 faculties of the SNU in South Korea, 50 for each faculty (25 men and 25 women). The format was done by obtaining an ideal and through a software sagittal and vertical modifications for different profiles and thirds, were conducted in Spanish and Korean. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in gender and nationality. The favorite male profile was concave and the favorite female profile was convex, both with significant statistical difference by occupation (χ2 = 19.505 p = 0.003) (χ2 = 32.742 p ‹ 0.001). Conclusions: The preferred facial profile was concave in men and convex in women. The worst facial profile was convex in men and concave in women. The favorite lower facial third was proportionate and the least liked was a diminished lower third. There were no differences between nationalities or gender, but by professions.
