Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Despite two decades of experience he’s garnered as a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Zubowski still gets excited about the most basic of cosmetic surgery’s principles — it can and will positively impact people’s lives. He’s become well-known for perfecting a facial cosmetic surgery technique that not only rejuvenates his patients’ natural looks, but also visually turns back the clock as much as ten to twelve years. In addition, Dr. Zubowski is also recognized as a top breast augmentation, reduction, and lift surgeon.

To further validate the surgical skills and years of experience he gained while completing a general surgery residency at New York Medical College and an additional residency at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Dr. Zubowski has been board-certified in both plastic and general surgery. He remains fiercely loyal and grateful to both of the institutions that trained and propelled him to his career. He has served as an associate professor of Plastic Surgery at New York Medical College and as the plastic surgery specialty director of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Alumni Association, where he is also an adjunct staff member. Dr. Zubowski is a former associate director of plastic surgery at Ridgewood’s The Valley Hospital and holds a Certificate of Advanced Education in Cosmetic Surgery from the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In spite of his advanced training, skill, and experience, Dr. Zubowski continues to hone his skills and improve his surgical knowledge by frequently attending plastic and reconstructive surgery forums both stateside and abroad.

Dr. Zubowski has become increasingly recognizable, as he regularly speaks on all aspects of cosmetic surgery to various public and professional groups. Whenever the media is in need of expert information or a valuable opinion on new cosmetic surgery techniques, Dr. Zubowski is among the select group of professionals who field the calls. He has notably appeared on as Barbara Walters’ guest on “The View,” FOX News, and the New Jersey News Network. Dr. Zubowski also provided a consultation during an a episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, a referral from RHONJ alum Caroline Manzo, who has credited Dr. Zubowski as her plastic surgeon.

After several years of performing breast reconstruction surgery for cancer survivors, Dr. Zubowski began to recognize a need for support among these courageous women, so he co-founded the New Jersey chapter of Image Reborn, a non-profit support group for breast reconstruction patients. Additionally, he works pro bono for Interplast, with whom he travels to Third World countries and performs reconstructive surgeries for children born with birth defects. He also invests in his own community, formerly serving as president of his town’s Board of Health and as a member of its recreation commission. During the time he has off, Dr. Zubowski spends time with his family and enjoys skiing, golfing, and maintaining a vigorous daily exercise routine.
