The Influence of the Hourglass Form of the Neck on Perceptions of Frontal Esthetics.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of the neck concavity angle (NCA) on different occupational groups' perceptions of frontal esthetics. An online survey was developed using Google Forms and sent to the observers through WhatsApp. Male and female frontal silhouettes were created, and NCAs that comprise the hourglass form of the neck were altered in 5 degrees increments from 120 degrees to 170 degrees.
