At this time of year it’s always amusing to hear the experts predict New Year trends. So not to be left out I’d like to offer my thoughts on plastic surgery trends in 2016. Last year at the Robert Zubowski MD Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Paramus, NJ,...

DR. ZUBOWSKI SAYS: T’IS THE SEASON FOR COSMETIC PROCEDURES
Like sports, vacations and fashion, plastic surgery also has its seasons.

At the Robert Zubowski MD Center for Plastic Surgery we encourage...
DR. ZUBOWSKI SAYS: INVESTING IN A GOOD RHINOPLASTY PAYS DIVIDENDS
Back in my high school days, plastic surgery wasn’t as mainstreamed as now. Yet one procedure often sought by teenage girls stands out: rhinoplasty, aka nose job. You could spot a nose job because in most cases it produced a smallish slender nose with a slightly upturned tip; think Meg...
DR. ZUBOWSKI SAYS: KEEPING UP APPEARANCES NO JOKING MATTER

Until recently, when patients asked me what they could do about a double chin, I would tell them a facelift was their best option—and it still is if you want a single procedure that will give you the longest lasting results. Now, however, we have a less invasive solution for...
HOMING IN ON YOUR CHOICE FOR PLASTIC SURGERY NEEDS CAREFUL CONSIDERATION: DR. ZUBOWSKI
It seems to me that people who are looking to buy a car will take their time selecting their ideal dealership. But for life altering decisions, such as who to entrust their plastic surgery to, and in what facility, they oftentimes take a more casual approach. I’d like to see...
DR. ZUBOWSKI DISCUSSES BREAST ASYMMETRY
As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience I’ve evaluated many patients seeking breast surgeries. Their reasons vary but one that has come up more often then you might expect is the desire to correct the difference in size and shape of their left and right...
