At Dr. Rose Plastic Surgery, recovery isn’t an afterthought—it’s where the true artistry of your results takes shape. We believe beautiful outcomes are only possible with intentional healing, and that includes minimizing scarring in ways that are practical, personalized, and guided by experience.
Our goal is to help your scar heal smoothly and blend in as naturally as possible, while supporting your body and maintaining your peace of mind throughout every stage of the process.
Healing well takes more than time. It takes care, planning, and attention. That’s why Dr. Rose personally oversees every step of your recovery, offering significantly more follow-up than many practices. You won’t just be sent home with a generic handout. Instead, you’ll leave with a comprehensive recovery guide tailored to your specific procedure, lifestyle, and body.
This includes:
We make each stage of healing feel manageable, not overwhelming, so you can focus on resting, recovering, and regaining your sense of self.
Dr. Rose’s surgical precision plays a significant role in determining the appearance of your scars once they have healed. She carefully places incisions in low-tension, hidden areas when possible and uses meticulous closure techniques that encourage smooth, refined results.
But scar care doesn’t end in the operating room. We continue to monitor the formation of your scars and offer early interventions if needed. These may include scar massage education, medical-grade silicone therapy, or, in some cases, revision procedures — all approaches are always approached with care and clear communication.
A scar is more than a line. It’s a memory, a transition, a mark of change. For many women, how a scar heals can significantly impact their body image and self-esteem long after surgery.
Dr. Rose honors this deeply personal part of the process. Her scar care program is designed not only to reduce visibility, but also to help you feel good in your skin as it changes.
Because recovery isn’t just about physical healing. It’s about helping you emerge from surgery feeling supported, seen, and whole.
Scar care can support healing on any area of the body where an incision is made, including the breasts, abdomen, face, thighs, arms, and more. Whether scars are from cosmetic surgery or minor revisions, our approach is always gentle and customized.
By following a consistent scar care plan, most patients see smoother, flatter, and less noticeable scars over time.
Frequent check-ins give patients confidence that their healing is on track and allow Dr. Rose to catch any concerns early.
Proactive care minimizes the need for later revisions, helping your results look refined and natural.
Knowing that every detail is being taken care of helps patients feel more connected to and at ease in their healing process.
If you're having surgery with Dr. Rose, scar care is included as part of your recovery plan. It's ideal for anyone who wants support through healing and values subtle, refined results. If you’ve had surgery elsewhere and are concerned about existing scars, we also offer consultation for scar revision options. Scar care is not recommended for patients unwilling to follow a consistent aftercare routine, as results depend heavily on day-to-day care.
Scar care doesn’t extend your recovery — it enhances it. You’ll receive clear instructions and simple, manageable routines for each phase of healing. This may include topical products, massage techniques, and lifestyle suggestions that support skin repair and rejuvenation. Dr. Rose will guide you step-by-step, so you always know what’s next and how to care for your body.
When can I see results? Scar healing is a gradual process. You'll start seeing improvements in scar texture and color within 3–6 weeks, with continued softening over several months.
How long do results last? Well-cared-for scars will continue to mature for up to 12–18 months. The improvements are long-lasting, especially when supported by early and consistent care.
Let us guide you through a recovery experience that feels as considered and supportive as the surgery itself. Scar care isn’t optional here; it’s built into everything we do. Dr. Rose’s attention to detail, from incision planning to post-op visits, helps ensure you feel cared for well beyond the operating room.
Dr. Rose will recommend specific medical-grade options based on your procedure. Some over-the-counter products may offer relief, but we focus on evidence-based solutions tailored to your specific needs.
