BIOMETRICAL IMPLANTS
1. What is the most important clinical aspect of any implanted biomaterial?
D. Permanence.
Although there are a number of important ideal properties to consider of any implanted biomaterial (Box 27.1), the most important clinical aspect of an implanted biomaterial is its permanence, as this will determine the functional long-term relationship between the host and the implant.

2. Which of the following describes a methodology to help reduce inevitable free bone graft resorption and
remodeling?
C. Fixation of graft under mobile tissue recipient site.
Although all free bone grafts do inevitably undergo variable degrees of resorption and remodeling, there are a couple of techniques which can help maintain the volume of grafted material after placement. Cortical grafts have been shown to maintain their volume significantly better than their cancellous bone graft equivalents

and fixation of bone grafts under mobile recipient tissues reduces resorption rates.

3. What is a relative advantage of using cartilage as an autograft compared to free autologous bone graft?
C. Resorption is rare.
Compared to autologous free bone graft, cartilage graft has significantly lower rate of resorption. Chondrocytes are capable of surviving within normal matrix without fibrous ingrowth or resorption

4. What is the most worrisome potential complication of allogeneic graft material placement?
E. Infectious disease transmission.
Although the other options are certainly potential complications of allogeneic graft material placement, the most worrisome is that of infectious disease (i.e., blood-borne pathogens) transmission. Careful sterilization techniques have evolved over time, but the risk still remains.

5. Which of the following is a considerable disadvantage of utilizing bi-layered acellular dermal regenerative
templates (Integra)?
C. Cost.
Although there is certainly a role of the existing products, the Integra bi-layered acellular dermal matrix comes with a very high financial burden. Also, it has limited application in aesthetic surgery; products such as autologous acellular dermal matrix may be of more use, as these can be used for fascial replacement, soft tissue volume increase, and breast implant encapsulation.

hydroxyapatite in the facial skeleton?
C. Very difficult to remove.
In the event that the removal of a hydroxyapatite implant is aesthetically indicated or desired, the removal process is extremely difficult to the point that its removal can potentially endanger the mental nerve or infraorbital nerve, cause excessive bleeding, hematoma, seroma, and undesirable scar tissue.

9. Which of the following is considered a potential advantage of silicone facial implants compared to other allo-

A. Implant infections easily managed nonsurgically.
One substantial advantage of silicone facial implants in aesthetic surgery is the capability to manage a poten­tial postoperative infection with (often) antibiotics alone, or (sometimes) needle aspiration for fluid drain­age from the implant pocket. Other alloplastic materials would not lend as well to nonoperative management of suspected infection.

DEFINITION
1. Progressive tension suturing refers to the technique of which of the following?
A. Anchor flaps over multiple points of fixation in an advanced position.
Progressive tension suturing is intended to securely anchor flaps over multiple points of fixation in an advanced position. There are several benefits including eliminating dead space and minimizing tension on the flap closure. Rectus plication brings the rec tus muscles together in the midline. High lateral tension closure to improve contour is a principle popularized by Lock wood.

DEFINITION
2. Which of the following applies to the use of progressive tension suturing?
E. Decreases seroma rates.
Progressive tension suturing helps to reduce or eliminate dead space. This can help eliminate the need for drains. Also, progressive tension suturing can improve wound healing through limiting motion, minimizing tension on advancement flaps, and distributing tension over multiple points of fixation. Although fluid accumulation is generally compartmentalized to smaller-volume areas that are easily absorbed, thus limiting seroma, there is no advantage related to infection.

INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
3. In which of the following reconstructions would progressive tension sutures be inappropriate?
E. Skin grafting.
Progressive tension sutures are based on a simple surgical concept that can be applied to any procedure involving an advancement flap. Therefore, they have no specific indications or contraindications. The placement and healing process of skin grafts would not be an appropriate situation to use progres­sion tension sutures.

INFORMED CONSENT
4. When discussing progressive tension suturing (PTSs) with your patients, what should you mention?
C. Revision rates are no greater than with traditional techniques.
Progressive tension sutures (PTSs) have similar revision rates to operations without the use of PTSs. However, the use of PTSs significantly reduces the risk of seroma but does not eliminate it. Dimpling can occur but is almost always temporary. In cases where the dermis rather than the superficial fascial system is being sutured, such as in a subcutaneous facelift flap, temporary dimpling is more common. There is no evidence to suggest that the use of PTSs decrease infection rates. It is believed that using P TSs allows for early ambu­lation in an upright position for abdominoplasty patients, improving venous circulation and reducing the risk of venous thromboembolism.

TECHNIQUE
5. Excessive or obvious dimpling once the next suture is tied may result from which of the following in a patient
with a BMI of 35?
A. Too superficial suture placement.
When placing progressive tension sutures (PTSs), it is not uncommon to have dimpling that is temporary in your last suture. Once the next suture is placed, the dimpling should resolve. Excessive or obvious dimpling can occur with bites that are too superficial, on placing excessiveadvancement of the flap, and on placing the sutures in the opposing direction. Of note, you can use a slight dimpling to your advantage. There is no evi­dence to suggest that using a braided suture will result in more or less dimpling. For instance, midline PTSs during abdominoplasty with slight dimpling can mimic a natural aesthetic contour.

TECHNIQUE
6. Once a surgeon–assistant coordination is achieved, placement of progressive tension sutures for an abdomino-
plasty should take approximately how many additional minutes?
C. 25 minutes.
For trained surgeons, no special skills are required to perform this technique and the learning curve is short. Once a surgeon–assistant coordination is achieved, placement of the sutures takes 20 to 30 minutes, includ­ing the in-continuity inset of the umbilicus. In a meta-analysis per formed by Jabbour and colleagues, the mean difference in surgical time was 23 minutes.

EQUIPMENT AND PREPARATION
7. What is the preferred suturing technique for placement of progressive tension sutures?
C. There is no difference in technique used.
When placing progressive tension sutures (PTSs), the surgeon can use either an interrupted or a continuous suture. For both techniques, absorbable sutures are generally employed. The use of both smooth and barbed

sutures has been described. Smooth sutures are thought to be equally as effective and less expensive (Fig. 28.1, Fig. 28.2).
