ReSultS: Case logs of 818 plastic surgery residents were analyzed. Integrated residents performed more browlift, brachioplasty, abdominoplasty, and thighplasty surgeries over several graduating years (p < 0.05). Independent residents performed more blepharoplasty, breast augmentation and mastopexy surgeries during 2014 (p < 0.05). No differences were observed for facelift, rhinoplasty, breast r...
