CHAPTER 1 Fundamental Principles of
Plastic Surgery
Sarah E. Sasor and Kevin C. Chung
KEY POINTS
Plastic surgery is a diverse surgical specialty guided by a set of fundamental principles.
Understand the patient’s goals and set expectations before surgery.
Optimize modifiable patient factors when possible. Understand and correct the etiology of a problem before
offering surgery. Plan the surgery preoperatively and have a backup plan. Be intentional and precise with intraoperative maneuvers.
Plastic surgery is a unique and exciting specialty that defies definition and is often misunderstood. Unlike other surgical specialties, plastic surgery has no organ system of its own—it is based on principles, rather than specific procedures, which enables surgeons to solve diverse and unusual problems. What is plastic surgery? In theory, it restores form and function throughout the human body. The term plastic is derived from the Greek word plastike, which means to shape or mold.
In practice, it is difficult to describe a specialty whose “turf” was acquired through a combination of tradition and innovation. Plastic surgery encompasses reconstructive and esthetic surgery from head to toe on patients of all ages. Plastic surgeons are known as the “problem-solvers,” the “surgeon’s surgeons,” and the “finishers.” Plastic surgery is surgery of the skin and its contents.

Plastic surgeons rely on an intimate knowledge of anatomy and understanding of fundamental principles to guide their practice. Ambroise Paré was the first person to describe a set of five reconstructive surgical principles in 1564.1 Sir Harold Gillies and D. Ralph Millard, Jr, published The Principles and Art of Plastic Surgery in 1950 (Table 1.1).2 Years later, Millard expanded on this to define 33 fundamental tenets in the Principlization of Plastic Surgery, published in 1986.1 Most of their concepts remain true today.

Paré (1564)
1. Take away what is superfluous.
2. Restore to their places things which are displaced.
3. Separate tissues which are joined together.
4. Join those tissues which are separate.
5. Supply the defects of nature.
Gillies/Millard (1950)
1. Thou shalt make a plan.
2. Thou shalt have a style.
3. Honor that which is normal and return it to normal position.
4. Thou shalt not throw away a living thing.
5. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy defect.
6. Thou shalt treat thy primary defect before worrying about the second one.
7. Thou shalt provide thyself with a lifeboat.
8. Thou shalt not do today what thou canst put off until tomorrow.
9. Thou shalt not have a routine.

This chapter reviews and updates the fundamental principles of modern plastic surgery. The remaining chapters in section one provide additional information on key concepts in our specialty, including wound healing, scar management, and flap design. Parts two through nine offer detailed information on the many subspecialties in our field, including craniofacial surgery, head and neck reconstruction, esthetic surgery, breast surgery, body contouring, hand surgery, and lower extremity reconstruction.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Understand the Patient’s Goals
Listen carefully to patients and address their needs. Do not make assumptions. Ask, “What can I help you with?” or “What would make you happy?” The existence of a deformity is not an indication for surgery—patients can adapt. Surgical plans must be tailored to each individual patient. Be honest about the limitations of surgery and anticipated outcome. Ensure that your operative goals align with the patient’s goals.
Set Expectations
Discuss the rehabilitation process, timeline for recovery, and expected outcome before surgery. What is obvious to the surgeon may not be apparent to the patient. Repeat yourself often. See the patient multiple times preoperatively to ensure that the expectations are realistic. If therapy or other treatment is required postoperatively, arrange for a consultation before surgery.
The goal of surgery is to improve function and appearance. Function will never be “normal” after surgery. Asymmetry and scars
https://t.me/med1917
will persist. Advise the patient that you cannot guarantee a result and that revision surgeries may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Honesty is the best policy, and when in doubt, under promise and over deliver.
Take a Comprehensive History
Some patients may not be surgical candidates or may be better served with nonoperative management. Be a physician first and a surgeon second. Understand a patient’s overall health before offering surgery. The following information must be obtained:
Overall physical and mental health Life expectancy Associated medical problems Previous hospitalizations and surgeries Medications and allergies to medications Diet and recent weight changes Tobacco, alcohol, and recreational drug use Level of independence, mobility, and ability to comprehend
and cooperate with care Place of residence Underlying social and financial support structure Presence of specific cultural, religious, or ethnic issues Presence of advanced directives, power of attorney, or
specific preferences regarding care
Optimize Modifiable Patient Factors
Many plastic surgery procedures are elective, which gives us an opportunity to maximize our chance of success. Identify and manage modifiable patient risk factors preoperatively. Ensure complete smoking cessation, manage medical comorbidities, optimize nutrition, treat infections, and stabilize mental health issues before surgery. Do not operate until a patient is optimized for healing and all
https://t.me/med1917
social factors have been corrected. There are only so many spare parts.
Know When to Say “no”
Put patient safety first. Let your training and experience guide you; do not give into persuasive or manipulative patients. Hesitancy before surgery is usually a subconscious warning sign of things to come. When in doubt, do not operate.
Understand the Etiology of a Problem Before Embarking on Reconstruction
Identify and correct the cause of a problem before proceeding with surgery. Flaps do not treat infection or conquer the root cause of wounds. Soft-tissue reconstructions cannot overcome deforming joint forces. Esthetic surgeries do not treat mental health issues. Failure to consider underlying issues will result in surgical failure and recurrence of the problem.
Choose the Best and Most Predictable Surgical Solution
The concept of the reconstructive ladder was introduced by Mathes and Nahai in 19823 (Figure 1.1). Higher rungs on the ladder correspond to more complex solutions. Apply the simplest option that meets the reconstructive needs—this ensures that a “lifeboat” is available if the procedure fails. In some situations, a complex solution is the best surgical option, and in these cases, skipping to a higher rung is appropriate and encouraged.

Minimize Donor Site Morbidity
https://t.me/med1917
It is not possible to take something for nothing—a price is always paid. When donor tissues are required, choose a site with the least functional and esthetic sacrifice. The donor site is an additional anatomic area where complications may arise. Weigh the downsides of tissue harvest against the potential reconstructive benefit. Discuss any potential donor site morbidity with the patient preoperatively.
Replace Like With Like
Defects should be reconstructed with tissue of the same quality to optimize functional and esthetic outcomes. Large bony defects are best reconstructed with autologous bone flaps. When primary closure is not possible, skin defects are best reconstructed with local flaps or skin grafts from nearby donor sites—this provides tissue that is similar in color, thickness, pliability, and elasticity.
If no suitable donor site exists, innovative strategies are used to create tissue. Distraction osteogenesis is used to lengthen, mold, and shape bones in craniofacial and extremity surgery. Tissue expansion is widely used to create additional local tissue through biological and mechanical creep. Expanders are used to replace hair-bearing skin for scalp defects, abdominal wall tissue for hernia reconstruction, and breast skin after mastectomy.
Plan the Procedure Preoperatively
Plan carefully and precisely before surgery. Although some decisions must be made intraoperatively, there are few indications for “exploratory” procedures in plastic surgery. Complete all necessary workup (imaging, biopsies, etc.) before surgery so there are no surprises intraoperatively. Anticipate possible intraoperative findings and have a plan (and a backup plan) for each scenario. Discuss the plan with the surgical team to ensure that all necessary supplies, instruments, and implants are readily available. Attention to detail and careful preoperative planning promotes efficiency and improves patient safety.
Think Ahead
https://t.me/med1917
Consider a patient’s future treatment needs when choosing a reconstruction and keep the long-term goal in mind. For cancer patients, select a reconstruction that is durable and will withstand radiation. For pressure sore patients, use a flap that can be readvanced. If hardware removal is expected, choose a flap that can be re-elevated easily. A carefully considered reconstructive plan can have an excellent, long-lasting outcome.
INTRAOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES
Plastic surgeons take pride in their technical finesse. Be intentional and precise with all moves and pay attention to the details. The following section outlines technical principles that apply to all plastic surgery procedures.
Incise Precisely
Hold the scalpel like a pencil and steady the ulnar aspect of your hand on the patient. Stretch the skin and incise with the blade at 90° to the patient. Incise through the epidermis and dermis in one, controlled cut. Precisely incising the skin minimizes tissue trauma; avoids step-offs; prevents the need to connect multiple, short, hesitation cuts; and sets you up for success when closing the wound.
Respect the Soft Tissue
Always be mindful how you handle soft tissue. Do not crush, stretch, or tear tissue. Retract gently with skin hooks, sutures, or a carefully placed self-retaining instrument. Avoid pinching tightly with forceps. Dissect sharply with a scalpel, and use scissors sparingly to separate vital structures. Tearing tissue using forceful spreading of the scissors induces copious edema that results in scar. Find (and stay in) a safe plane and dissect from known to unknown. Preserve subcutaneous veins and nerves to reduce edema and prevent neuromas. Minimizing tissue trauma reduces postoperative pain, preserves vascularity, and optimizes healing.
