Abstract
It is clear that morphological features determining favorable appearance of the mandibular and neck portions are readily evident from the cervicomental angle. Thus, we conducted a survey of the standard angle for the Japanese adult female at the time of rhytidectomy or lipectomy. The subjects were 109 Japanese adult females ranging in age from 20 to 29 years. The cervicomental angle was investigated for both the horizontal position with the face on the Frankfurt horizontal plane, based on head and neck photos, and for the position with the neck fully extended. The results indicated that the cervicomental angle in Japanese adult females was 119.36±3.54° in the horizontal posttion on the Frankfurt horizontal plane, and 153.49±3.15° in the position with the neck fully extended.
