You can help to ensure your own safety by carefully adhering to your doctor’s pre- and post-operative instructions.

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.
