Comparison of scores among the three lip positions in each vertical pattern for the male profiles

Variable	Retruded profile	Horizontally average profile	Protruded profile	p-value
Short profile	6.24 ± 1.78a	5.34 ± 1.72b	2.75 ± 1.45c	0.000***
Vertically average profile	5.68 ± 1.99b	6.20 ± 1.49a	3.54 ± 1.58c	0.000***
Long profile	4.96 ± 1.97a	5.21 ± 1.84a	3.92 ± 1.65b	0.000***

Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation.

One-way ANOVA is performed for comparing the mean scores among the three lip positions in each vertical pattern for the male profiles. Tukey’s post-hoc test is also performed.

***p < 0.001.

^a–cSame letters in superscript in the same row indicate no statistically significant differences, otherwise different letters indicate statistically significant differences.
