Abstract
The transfixion incision is very helpful when the major changes needed in the tip-columella-lip complex have to be made. Through this incision I can vary the relationships between tip projection, the infratip region, columella angulation, the columello-labial junction, the central upper lip slope, the central upper lip prominence, and the position of the central lip-free border. The relationships and structures involved are what Webster (1975a,b) calls the “tip-columella-central upper lip aesthetic complex.”
