Dr. Jeannie MacDonald, a Royal College Certified Plastic Surgeon and fellowship-trained craniofacial surgeon at MacDonald Plastic Surgery in New Westminster, BC again joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Plastic Surgery Information Channels. Dr. MacDonald is known for her artistic touch and specialized expertise in facial reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. She combines her extensive medical training with a genuine understanding of balance and proportion, helping patients throughout the Greater Vancouver area look and feel their most naturally beautiful. In this episode, Dr. MacDonald will walk us through the full range of scar management options she offers, from micro-needling and IPL to scar revision surgery, and how she decides which approach is right for each patient. She will explain how she treats different scar types including hypertrophic scars, keloids, and contractures, and share what realistic improvements patients can expect when addressing an older scar from a previous surgery. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Jeannie MacDonald discuss the following: Scarring is one of the biggest concerns patients have after surgery — can you walk us through how scars actually form, and why some people end up with more noticeable scars than others? You developed the Scar Kit, which is based on silicone gel technology — can you tell us what it is, why silicone is considered the gold standard in scar care, and how you recommend patients use it after surgery? Beyond the Scar Kit, what other treatments do you offer for scar management — things like micro-needling, IPL, or scar revision surgery — and how do you decide which approach is right for each patient? There are so many different types of scars — hypertrophic scars, keloids, contractures — how do you approach each one differently, and are some types harder to treat than others? For patients who are unhappy with an older scar from a previous surgery somewhere else, is it too late to do something about it, and what realistic improvements can they expect from scar revision or the Scar Kit? A board-certified plastic surgeon with a deep understanding of how the body heals, Dr. Jeannie MacDonald has taken her expertise in scar management a step further by developing her own Scar Kit for patients navigating recovery after surgery. Based at MacDonald Plastic Surgery in New Westminster, BC, she brings both clinical precision and genuine care to one of the most common concerns patients face after any procedure. In this episode, she breaks down how scars actually form, why some patients end up with more noticeable results than others, and the science behind why silicone is considered the gold standard in scar care.
