Age 53, Where Have the Years Gone - Atlanta, GA

This wasn't my first rodeo with plastic surgery....

This wasn't my first rodeo with plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty at age 15, tummy tuck at 42, liposuction at 50. I have had successful results with all my procedures. Plastic surgery is nothing to take lightly and it's very important to get several opinions and follow your gut instinct. That's what I had done in the past.
Being fairly new to Atlanta I didn't know who to use. I interviewed three other plastic surgeons before deciding on Dr. Zubowicz.
Dr. Zubowicz was the last surgeon I consulted with. I knew after my consultation that I had found the "one." Unlike other doctors who made unrealistic promises or made me feel like I was shopping for a used car, with high pressure, Dr. Zubowicz was a welcome relief.
I knew prior to walking into his office that he had been practicing for many years. I read everything I could find on him. I was not disappointed.
I felt upon meeting him that he exuded confidence ability and experience but without the arrogance that I had sensed in other doctors He is very matter of fact and takes time to show you what is best for you without making any false promises. I immediately felt that I was in good hands. He is very real and took as much time as I needed to see previous work that he had done.
June 1, 2015 my daughter had rhinoplasty and lipo suction on her chin. That surgery was a success.
This past January I had a brow lift and face lift performed by Dr. Zubowicz. It is now a little over four months and I am very happy with the results. He has let me know every step of the way what to expect. While I was recuperating from the surgery I did a lot of reading on this site about other people's experiences with facelifts both good and bad. That made me feel even better about my decision to of chosen Dr. Zubowicz.
His support staff and everyone in his office are so kind and genuine. I could go into great detail about them also.
I highly recommend Dr. Zubowicz and his team.

I'm so glad this went well for you! Do you have any tips for others going through a facelift?

Hang in there. I was about as miserable as you could get the first couple of weeks. It really does get better and after a couple of months I really saw things turning around. The hardest thing for me was having to sleep sitting up and my head just being quite achy. Two months was the magic timeframe for me from my head to stop hurting from the incisions.

You were brave...thank you for your insights. Any photos?

I haven't posted one because I really don't have a before and after. I have the gruesome shots of immediately after surgery but I'm waiting for my plastic surgeon to send me the before and now current photo. As soon as I have it, I will post it.

I am considering Dr. Zubowics too can you tell me how long till you were able to go out? where you bruised? how long? was your brow lift endoscopic or hairline? Thank you.

It's been a year since I had this. I am so pleased with the results. Everything went perfectly in addition to the staff being wonderful. I was able to get out and run some errands by two weeks but not where I would want anybody to see me. At least three, preferably four weeks to go out where you will encounter friends or co-workers. That's when the bruising was gone but you will still have swelling. My brow lift was hairline. I did eventually get the feeling back in my face from the facelift. It's a slow process. I do have numbness still on the top of my head. It really doesn't bother me at all though. Sometimes I forget I have my sunglasses on the top of my head. LOL The only thing he didn't do last year was a blepharoplasty. After looking at my new youthful face, I was bothered by the sunken hollow look of my lower eyelids. I just had that procedure done by Dr. Zubowicz 3 1/2 weeks ago. That was a walk in the park in comparison. Can't say enough good things about him. All the reviews that you read about him are true.

Thank you for your answer, I am going to travel from NJ to see him and also for the surgery. Is there a place that you can recommend (hotel, B&B) for me to stay for the 2 weeks? Is after 2 weeks that he took your stitches out? Regarding the bleep that you had did he reposition the fat of your lower eyelids? or did he take any fat out? did he do a fat grafting on the lower eyelids? How long were you bruised? thank you for answering my questions, you are very kind, and I am very happy for you.
