Doctor Rohan Page Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon

Your scar may look healed, but the sun can still change it.

With the Perth sunshine just starting to make a comeback, it is worth remembering that scars continue to mature long after the wound has closed. UV exposure can make a healing scar darker or more noticeable.

Keep healing scars covered where possible and use SPF50+ once the wound has fully healed and your treating practitioner says it is safe.

Scar care does not stop when the dressing comes off.

Surgery triggers a metabolic stress response — meaning your body’s demand for protein, vitamins and minerals increases during recovery.

Nutrients such as vitamin C (for collagen synthesis), vitamin A (for cell regeneration) and zinc (for immune support and wound healing) play a measurable role in tissue repair. Adequate protein intake is equally important to support rebuilding and minimise muscle loss.

What that looks like in real food terms:
🥝 Vitamin C — citrus fruit, kiwi fruit, berries, capsicum, broccoli
🥕 Vitamin A — carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin, spinach
🫘 Zinc — legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains
🐟 Protein — eggs, fish, chicken, Greek yoghurt, tofu, lentils

Recovery is not only about rest. It is also about providing your body with the biological building blocks required for healing.

Always follow the personalised advice provided during your consultation.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Before and after photos of a 32-year-old patient, showing results six weeks following lower eyelid blepharoplasty. This patient presented with under-eye puffiness and excess lower eyelid skin contributing to a tired appearance, which could not be improved through skincare or lifestyle measures.

Individual results will vary from patient to patient and depend on factors including anatomy, genetics, skin quality and healing response. All invasive surgery carries risk and requires a recovery period and care regime. Information about surgical risks and complications can be found in the link in our bio. Be sure you do your research and seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon before proceeding. Any details are general in nature and are not intended to be medical advice or constitute a doctor–patient relationship.

End The Trend — because skin cancer should never be trending.

In Australia, tanning is still linked with health and beauty, despite clear evidence that UV exposure increases skin cancer risk and accelerates skin ageing.

This message aligns closely with Dr Rohan Page’s work, where reconstructive surgery following skin cancer forms part of his clinical practice.

Healthy skin isn’t tanned — it’s protected.
Slip, slop, slap, seek and slide.

We tend to assume that if a product feels good, it must be doing something useful.

But skin is a barrier. It’s designed to keep things out. That means many skincare ingredients, especially larger ones, don’t travel very far below the surface. In skin science, this is often described by what’s known as the “500 Dalton rule”.

Skincare still has value. Hydration, comfort and barrier support matter. But this is why topical products don’t always create the kind of deeper change people expect.

Thinking about getting back to exercise after breast implant surgery?

While movement supports recovery and wellbeing, timing and progression matter. Returning too quickly or too intensely can interfere with healing and implant positioning.

Dr Rohan Page provides personalised post-operative guidance to help patients return to activity safely and gradually.

The cosmetic surgery guidelines created by the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons ( ) provide clear, comprehensive information for anyone considering a cosmetic procedure.

They cover how to choose the right surgeon, what to expect in consultation, and what happens before, during and after surgery. These guides are designed to help patients understand each stage of the process and make informed decisions about their care.

Access the ASAPS guides here:

Cosmetic tourism packages can appear appealing, but travelling overseas for surgery involves important safety considerations.

Understanding the medical environment, access to consultation, and availability of follow-up care is essential before making any decision.
