Establishment of a rabbit ear model of hypertrophic scars. a A rectangular hypertrophic scar (5.5 cm long and 1.5 cm wide) developed at 4 weeks after the operation. b The dermal layer (the area above the white dotted lines) was thin in normal skin on a rabbit ear. Scale bar = 2 mm. c Irregular hypertrophy was observed in the dermal layer of the scar. The dermal thickness (shown in the black lines) was dramatically increased. Scale bar = 2 mm. d The dermal thickness was measured and significantly increased in the scar (normal skin 0.23 ± 0.02 mm; scar 2.45 ± 0.19 mm; **p < 0.01)
