Is my chin is recessed? (Photos)

Question

So I’ve used the e line to measure my chin and my bottom lip is touching said line however my chin it’s self doesn’t look overly recessed to me. I’m not sure if it’s just my eyes but I’m not sure if it’s my nose, lips or chin that’s the issue here because I’ve seen people who’s lips don’t touch the line who appear to have a more recessed chin than me

Assessing whether a chin is recessed typically involves evaluating facial proportions and harmony. The "E-line" (esthetic line) is a common guideline used in orthodontics and cosmetic assessments, which runs from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin. Ideally, the lips should be close to this line, with the upper lip slightly behind it and the lower lip touching or slightly behind it.

If your bottom lip touches the E-line, it suggests that your chin may not be significantly recessed. However, facial aesthetics are subjective and can be influenced by various factors, including the size and shape of the nose, lips, and overall facial structure.

For a more accurate assessment, consider consulting with a professional, such as an orthodontist, cosmetic surgeon, or dermatologist, who can provide personalized advice based on a comprehensive evaluation of your facial features. They can also discuss potential options if you are considering any cosmetic adjustments.
