When your profile doesn’t look quite right in photos or in the mirror, it’s often because one key feature is out of balance: the chin. At Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery in Bellevue, Washington, Dr. Kristopher M. Day, MD, FACS, uses advanced facial analysis—including the E-line—to design chin augmentation and chin reduction procedures that create a naturally balanced, attractive profile tailored to you.
For patients in Bellevue, Seattle, and the greater Eastside seeking refined, modern facial harmony, Dr. Day is the go-to surgeon for precise, thoughtful chin contouring.
What Is the E-Line—and Why Your Chin Depends on It
The E-line (esthetic line) is a key landmark in profile analysis, drawn from the tip of the nose to the soft tissue of the chin. By assessing how the lips and chin relate to this line, Dr. Day can determine whether your chin is:
- Under-projected and best enhanced with chin augmentation
- Overly projected and better suited to chin reduction or contouring
- Well-positioned, with other subtle adjustments recommended for ideal harmony
This structured approach guides critical decisions, including:
- Selecting the ideal chin implant size and shape
- Defining how much to advance, refine, or reduce the chin
- Coordinating proportional changes with surrounding features—such as how much lip volume is appropriate or how nose projection interacts with chin position—to maintain true facial balance
Instead of guessing or following trends, Dr. Day uses the E-line as a precise planning tool, ensuring that each change supports a cohesive, elegant profile.
Why Choose Dr. Kristopher M. Day for Chin Augmentation or Reduction
Expert Training for Sophisticated Chin Surgery
Chin surgery requires much more than placing an implant or shaving bone. It demands a deep understanding of facial skeleton, soft tissue, bite dynamics, and long-term structural balance. Dr. Day is a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with advanced craniofacial and facial aesthetic training, giving him the expertise to:
- Interpret the E-line in the context of your unique anatomy, not as a rigid formula
- Plan safe, stable changes that complement your jawline, lips, cheeks, and nose
- Achieve refined results that look like you—only more harmonious and confident

Natural Results Driven by Proportion, Not Trends
The most beautiful profiles are subtle and timeless. Dr. Day’s chin surgery philosophy is centered on:
- Enhancing structure without creating an overdone or “implant-heavy” look
- Respecting individual facial identity, gender expression, and ethnic features
- Designing results that are elegant at every angle, in person and in photos
By combining analytic tools like the E-line with an artistic eye, Dr. Day ensures your chin balances your features rather than competing with them.
