DISCUSSION This study evaluated the impact of social media on the volume of aesthetic cases performed through an established chief resident clinic and its utility in patient recruitment. Chief residents had an increase in the number of aesthetic surgery cases they performed after their clinic was featured on an online social media physician review website. This further reinforces the impact social media and an online presence have on plastic surgery training.BACKGROUND Histological differentiation between hypertrophic scars (HSs) and keloids has been considered difficult. In this study, we analyzed differences in the 3-dimensional tissue architecture between HSs and keloids using focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM). METHODS Five specimens each of normal skin, normotrophic scars (NSs), HSs, and keloids were investigated. Three sites in each specimen were observed by FIB/SEM tomography, resulting in an observation of 15 sites per tissue type. We identified fibroblasts and macrophages and assessed the contact ratio and the mode of intercellular contact (planar contact or point contact). The significance of differences among the 4 tissue types was determined by Fisher exact test. RESULTS In normal skin, contact between fibroblasts and macrophages was observed at all 15 sites, and the mode of contact was always planar. There was contact at 87% of the NS sites (planar point = 80% 7%). In HSs, contact was seen at 80% of the sites (planar point = 20% 60%). In keloids, contact was found at only 15% of the sites (planar point = 7.5% 7.5%). The intercellular contact ratio showed no significant differences among normal skin, NSs, and HSs; however, a significant difference was noted between these tissues and keloids. The intercellular contact mode also showed no signif
