How your body heals after plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments may be the most important factor in achieving beautiful, lasting results. In this solo episode, Dr. Steven Davis takes listeners behind the scenes to explain why healing is more than just the incision closing—it’s about how your body generates collagen and rebuilds tissue from the inside out.

Drawing from recent conversations with patients recovering from lasers, breast lifts, tummy tucks, and more, Dr. Davis breaks down the science of purposeful “damage” (like resurfacing or microneedling) and how your body repairs itself by producing collagen. He also shares why garments and support bras are so critical in the early months after surgery, and why even if you “feel healed,” your body may still be working hard beneath the surface.
