Who is a good candidate for plastic surgery?

The ideal plastic surgery candidate is someone who is in good general health and is well-educated about his or her desired procedure. If you are interested in plastic surgery at our center, it is important for you to have realistic expectations about the outcome of your procedure.

Is plastic surgery safe?

At the office of Dr. Zubowski, we feel that the safety of our plastic surgery patients is of utmost importance. While every surgical procedure involves some risk, we take every measure possible to ensure a safe plastic surgery procedure and a rapid, healthy recovery. You can help to ensure your own safety by carefully adhering to your doctor’s pre- and post-operative instructions.

Do you offer non-surgical options?

We offer a variety of non-surgical options designed to enhance your appearance. From BOTOX® Cosmetic injections to ease the appearance of wrinkles to microdermabrasion and custom-tailored skin care products, we can help you look and feel rejuvenated without invasive plastic surgery procedures.

What about pain, recovery time, and scarring?

We realize that each patient tolerates and responds to pain in manner unique from all of our other patients. At our plastic surgery center, we will do our best to minimize the pain you feel. With the use of topical, local, and general anesthetics, we can dramatically reduce the discomfort you experience during your plastic surgery procedure. Dr. Zubowski will also provide you with pain medication to minimize your post-operative discomfort.

Recovery time also varies based on the individual and the type of procedure performed. During your initial consultation, Dr. Zubowski will educate you about the average time needed to recover from your specific procedure. Our website also has helpful information about the recovery times associated with different procedures. Simply visit the page dedicated to the procedure you are considering to learn more.

At the office of Dr. Zubowski, we understand that the effect of your plastic surgery procedure may be diminished by visible scars, and we do all we can to dramatically reduce or eliminate the possibility of scarring.

We hope these answers have been helpful to you. If you have any more questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact our plastic surgery center in Bergen County today.
