🧐 Ever wonder how we assess perfect profile harmony? Meet the Ricketts E-Line — a gold standard in aesthetic medicine. ✨”
A balanced profile usually means the lips fall just behind this line drawn from the tip of the nose to the chin.
👄 Too far forward? Think volume.
📉 Too far back? Think projection.
📐 What Is the E-Line?
It’s a straight line drawn from:
• The tip of the nose (pronasale) ➝ to the tip of the chin (pogonion)
We then evaluate how the lips sit in relation to this line, not at a measured angle.
💋 Ideal Lip Position Relative to the E-Line:
• Upper Lip: ~4 mm behind the E-Line
• Lower Lip: ~2 mm behind the E-Line
📏 Step-by-Step: How to Measure the E-Line
1. Identify the Landmarks:
• Pronasale (Nose Tip): The most anterior point of the tip of the nose.
• Pogonion (Chin Tip): The most forward point of the chin.
2. Draw the E-Line:
• Using a straight line, connect the nose tip to the chin tip. This is your E-Line.
3. Assess Lip Position:
• Measure the perpendicular distance from the most anterior point of the upper and lower lips to the E-Line.
• You’re looking for how far behind or ahead the lips fall relative to that line.
